Minister, thank you for your statement here today. It was a real pleasure to accompany you last week on a visit to Pontypridd High School in my constituency to showcase the brilliant work that the school has been doing in conjunction with the Moondance Cancer Initiative, raising awareness of bowel cancer using a multipronged approach running through many different subject areas in the curriculum. So, Minister, would you agree with me, as the curriculum rolls out, that initiatives such as this have the potential to save many lives in Wales each year, and, moreover, are perfectly suited to the cross-cutting, broad and purpose-based nature of the new curriculum, which you've outlined so clearly in your statement here today?
