Thank you, and you clearly outline, as you say, that some families face difficulties and challenges that we just haven't had to in our lives, and they're very, very difficult. As you know, we've allocated £90 million for a second Welsh Government fuel support scheme—I do hope your constituents have been able to access that—and there are a variety of schemes that have been brought forward to try and help people facing a very uncertain time at the moment due to the cost-of-living crisis, and we continue to do all we can to support people. There's a discretionary assistance fund that maybe they would be able to access that perhaps they haven't done as yet.
