Diolch yn fawr. Moving on to decarbonisation and modernisation, as you've mentioned, we have, in many cases, at least, an ageing leisure and library facility situation in Wales. Obviously, there's always a need to modernise and reinvest in buildings and…

Okay. Diolch yn fawr. Just before we move on, if there was to be a national strategy for leisure that—. I think it was Carwyn who spoke about twenty-first century schools and having a programme of new build and so on and a strategy over a lengthy period of…

Yes. Thanks, Rob. Is that the picture for you as well, Carwyn, as Rob is describing? And Sharon, is that the picture more or less across Wales, do you think?

Just on co-location, are there sometimes difficult transport issues in terms of access? We know the difficulties with bus services and community transport and so on. To what extent is that an issue? Are you sometimes removing services from particular…

Rob, just in terms of the leisure trust and the lower cost that you mentioned, what's the picture in terms of the staff. Are some of those lower costs at the expense of staff, as it were—whether it's numbers or the salaries that they receive or, indeed, the…
