Diolch, Llywydd. Indeed it is. I was delighted to hear the First Minister's response to my question a little earlier, but I'd also be grateful if a statement could be forthcoming should Wrexham win the city of culture bid, outlining details of the Welsh Government's support, both financial and in-kind support, because I am in no doubt that the local council will be relying very heavily on the excellent major events unit in Welsh Government for support and advice.

Trefnydd, I'd also be grateful for a statement from the Minister for health regarding progress against the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board improvement plans that were published in March of 2021. And could I ask for another statement from the Minister for health confirming that the citizen voice body will be headquartered in north Wales? The chair of the body, of course, is very familiar with south-west Wales and mid Wales, and most of the NHS is headquartered in south-east Wales, and so it stands to reason that the citizen voice body should be headquartered in north Wales, where we have the largest health board and where, arguably, the NHS faces its greatest challenge. Diolch.
