Okay, thank you for that, and thank you for your very comprehensive paper. You're recommending that the women's pathfinder whole-system approach and the 18-25 service need to be expanded across Wales. Could you tell us whether there's buy-in on that…

Okay, very good. So, it's a work in progress. To what extent can women who may be in, or at risk of entering, the criminal justice system access a consistent level of support regardless of where they come from in Wales?

Welcome back to the Equality and Social Justice Committee. We're continuing our inquiry into women's experiences of the criminal justice system. For our third panel, we've got Nicola Davies and Victoria Harries from His Majesty's Prison and Probation Service…

Very good. Thank you very much, all of you, for your evidence and for your time today. Jo, I wondered if you could send us the link to the report you mentioned on looking at this from the whole-family perspective—that would be really helpful. Otherwise, all…

I'm just going to ask if we can extend the discussion by literally a couple of minutes. For a start, Chantal, you mention in your written evidence that Bronzefield has the highest number completing treatment to become drug free, whereas in contrast HMP…

Lots of research on this, so if you could all be brief in your answers. Who wants to go first? Chantal, do you want to go first?

Chantal, some women enter the prison system not knowing they are pregnant, and that only arises afterwards. Is there anything you are able to add on how well we accommodate pregnant women?

Okay. We'll follow it up. The autumn comes to the end of this month, in my book, but it has been known for things to slide. Before we move on, I just want to ask two specifics. One is on why it is that women in Wales who've been using buprenorphine to manage…
