Thank you. Well, as I say, it is a matter for health boards to ensure that any disease or illness—that services are provided within the health board or, if they have an arrangement, that a patient could go to another health board, and that includes the…

Thank you. Well, the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language is in his place and will have heard your contribution, and, as I say, when the consultation responses—. I'm not aware how many there have been, for instance, but normally it's a big process to…

Thank you. In relation to your first request, I would suggest that you write directly to the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language about the point you raised about the sign that has been installed in relation to Aberdyfi. With regard to the second…

Thank you. Well, the issue you raise is not a matter for the Minister for Health and Social Services. It's absolutely a matter for Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board. So, I'd urge you to write to the chair.

Thank you. Well, in respect of the developers' obligations, there's no need to amend or enter a new contract with the developers as a result of the merger that you referred to. The definition of 'participant developer group company' was sufficiently wide…

Thank you. Well, the Welsh Government does have a very strong record of supporting our local authorities, when, unfortunately, flooding has occurred. I know that the Minister for Finance and Local Government is aware of the request. She's currently…

I'm unclear as to whether you've had a response from Natural Resources Wales, but I would think that that's the most important thing at the moment. Perhaps you could write to the Minister for Climate Change, who can ensure that you do get a response as a…

Thank you. Well, it is obvious that GPs in rural areas probably have to provide different services to their patients than perhaps those in urban areas. I visited a GP surgery myself in Wrexham, in my constituency, on Friday, where it was incredible to see the…
