Thank you, Llywydd. By not having a time frame stated in the Bill, I ultimately think that the Welsh Government will come to regret this decision. When demands are made of public bodies by trade unions or staff representatives that they cannot accommodate, the public body will fail in meeting its statutory duty, and something as simple as failing to agree well-being goals will mean that public bodies in Wales may well become liable for damages in the face of neglect in their duty of care to staff. Thank you.
