Okay. Thank you. I've got one other question for Debbie, which is: what happens in the emergency department, when you get somebody coming in who doesn't speak very much English or Welsh? Clearly, it's an emergency; do the emergency staff have, if you like…

You raise some really important issues about how we engage the public in respecting all the people who are working so hard in the NHS, to support them. Clearly there's work going on in schools; what work is going on in primary care? Because that's where 90…
