Thank you very much. That was excellent; well done. I think it is important. I hope you have listened to the speech, which demonstrates that we have indeed been very proactive during the summer months in preparing. Obviously, we've never seen anything like the demand that we've encountered over this winter.

When it comes to care homes, I think it is important that we pay tribute to the incredible work that they do in looking after our elderly. Obviously, they're also in a situation where they're encountering long ambulance waiting times. I think it's important for us to recognise that there are times actually where we will need to try and support people in the homes. I've seen some fascinating statistics about, once you go into hospital for a period of more than a certain number of days, how likely you are to die if you're over a certain age. I think it's really, really important that people understand that, actually—. And most people don't want to die in hospital; it's not because they're going into hospital they're dying, it's because they were going to die anyway. So, I think it's really important that we try and understand what is it that matters to the patient, where is it that they'd like to have that compassionate care. Very often, that is in their homes.

I understand, and I know my colleague Julie Morgan understands very clearly, the difficulties in recruiting people in care homes, which is why we have once again acknowledged that we will be honouring the real living wage in the budget in April. That's really important, I think, for us to understand that there is an issue there that needs to be addressed. It's not going to be easy, because there's a lot of competition out there when it comes to jobs, but I think that is an area where we need to work very, very closely with our local government partners to make sure that we are making the very best possible offer, and that we look not just at pay, but also look at conditions around pay as well.
