But the leadership needs to be there at board level and in terms of the people who are running the particular services. It shouldn't just be reliant on people who happen to come from the global majority.

Ceri, can I just ask you to come in at this point, because you're obviously here to represent the front line in health boards? I was concerned to read about the level of bullying in the health service—which is a worry regardless of your ethnicity—and the fact…

That's a very fair point. Clearly, there are huge challenges for all public services at the moment. There's a historic underfunding that's been present for some years, and, in addition to that, all the issues around COVID. But nevertheless, given the…

But if they're doing 40 mph in what was a previous 30 mph, surely we should be fining them now.

I want to talk about enforcement, because I've had several constituents contacting me who follow a pattern. These are people who are careful drivers, who've always adhered to speed limits and have known through the 40 or 50 years they've been driving what 30…

Yes. The pilots were deliberately trying to test different methodologies, different ways of doing things. How much do you think the disagreement over this has been pushed by particular pilots that people didn't like? For example, the one in Buckley, in…

The key issue here is around legally binding emission reductions for the five air pollutants. What exactly is stopping Wales from embracing that in its entirety in our air quality and soundscapes Bill?

[Inaudible.]—able to pay loans also apply to leaseholders who, obviously, may be living in an area where there's also social homes, so that they can also make a contribution to decarbonising their home?

Okay. I want to just come back, lastly, to the 40 per cent of houses that are owned outright, either by the people who live in them or by private landlords who rent them out. So, clearly, they are able to pay for new technologies, and the new technologies are…

We have to be driven by the numbers of households who simply are unable to afford to heat their homes. In light of that, could you just tell us how the work of the residential decarbonisation implementation group, and the heat strategy—how all these knit…

Yes. Okay. I just want to pick up on the climate change committee's assertion that retrofitting social housing stock to EPC A rating is 'costly and unlikely to be a cost-optimal approach to decarbonising homes', which obviously goes against the very ambitious…

Okay. Well, that's good. Thank you for that information, because it seems to me we don't have many sticks here, and that's at least something for tenants who are currently living in homes that they can't afford to heat. Moving on, I wondered whether you've…
