Thank you for that answer, Trefnydd. The reason I ask this question today is for the reason that we now have winter on the horizon, together with a cost-of-living crisis, and our social care workers are amongst some of the lowest-paid workers in the labour market, despite the dedication they give and the difference they make to people day in, day out. So, Trefnydd, with that in mind, are you willing to look at this again and commit your Government to spending an additional £9 million to align social care staff pay with NHS pay scales and provide them with assurances that the Welsh Government is on their side?
