Sure. Thanks for that question, Lesley. So, there was a delay, which came out as a result of the consultation, which identified that there was far more work that needed doing in this area than we were able to deliver within the timescale. So, we are looking…

I think I'd probably go back, Chair, to what I said in my opening remarks. Our policy response, not just on this but on the whole way in which we deliver children's services, is our transformation programme, and this will be central to that, because as I…

Yes, and the reporting data therefore is important, because it is important to identify whether we are talking about the number of incidents or the number of children, and I think that's where the data is important. But it is reviewed and updated every year…

Yes, and children do go missing for all sorts of reasons in all sorts of circumstances. What we do know, of course, is that children who are care experienced are far more likely to be reported as missing than other children. But, Taryn, do you want to deal…

Thank you, Chair. I’ll start by answering that question, but before I answer the specifics of the question, particularly around data collection, I think it’s probably important to set the Government’s policy context around children’s services, because the…

I meet regularly with the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care, as you would imagine. She’s fully well aware of the provisions of this Bill and the provisions as they apply to continuing healthcare. But, as I say, within this Bill, there are no policy…

I’m sorry to come back to this again, Sam, but that’s not within the parameters of the Bill. In relation to CHC, the Bill is about enabling access to direct payments; you’re talking about policy areas of continuing healthcare that don’t fall within the remit…

Bil Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol (Cymru): sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog Gofal Cymdeithasol
I absolutely understand the point that’s being made, but I keep coming back to what the Bill is doing is simply saying, 'If you have continuing healthcare needs, you can access a direct payment for those needs.’ That’s the only provision of the Bill, it’s not…

Well, again, Joyce, I wish I could, but that sits with the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care, I’m afraid, and isn’t part of the provisions of the Bill. But, again, I’m more than happy to speak to my colleague the Cabinet Secretary for Health and…

Yes, so I'm aware of that review, but that sits within the remit of the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care—continuing healthcare does; it doesn't sit within—. That review and what is happening with that review, and even the outcomes of that review…

Thank you, Altaf. I think, as Anthony was saying, it's about assessing what the person's need is. So, it's not just about trying to create a balance between health and social care, it's about what the need is of that individual: do they have a social care…

Bil Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol (Cymru): sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Gweinidog Gofal Cymdeithasol
There isn’t a simple answer to that, Joyce, as you probably would guess, because what’s at the root of this is what is the individual’s need. So, if the individual has a health need, as opposed to a social care need, they will have been assessed as requiring…

Well, I just need to reiterate and be very clear that all the Bill is doing is giving people with a continuing healthcare need the opportunity to have a direct payment for the provision of that continuing healthcare need; that is all it is doing. So, people…

Yes, so, you're talking about people living in rural areas not having access to personal assistants. Again, we are aware and alert to that as being a particular difficulty, as it is for those in receipt of direct payments for social care, so the difficulty is…

Thank you, John. I think what I would say—. I mean, we are aware of those calls for consistency of pay rates for personal assistants and care workers, which I’m well aware does vary across Wales, and varies between health and social care. But what I would say…
