Well, Llywydd, I think that Judge Hallett herself has repeatedly said that the reason that she wishes to conduct her inquiry in the way that she does—of which the leader of Plaid Cymru was critical in his first question—is precisely because she wants to make sure that lessons from the COVID experience are made available as rapidly as possible, because a further pandemic could happen and she wishes to make sure that we've been able to draw the lessons from the COVID experience. So, I think he ought to reflect a little on that in the light of his first questions to me.

As far as preparation for future pandemics is concerned, then of course the Welsh Government is alert to that danger. We follow the World Health Organization and the views of other expert groups in this area. We take part ourselves in exercises to make sure that, insofar as you can, you are scanning the horizon for what might come later, and lessons from COVID will be a very important part of the way in which we do that. 

As to the first part of his question, the part to do with a Senedd committee inquiry, I have met with the leader of the opposition—the original motion was in the name of the Conservative Party. I had correspondence with Judge Hallett as a result of that meeting. A reply has been received, and I'm hopeful that I will be able to meet the leader of the opposition again before the end of this term, so that we can continue to explore what might be possible within the context of what is already taking place at the UK level.
