And that's, kind of, longer term, is it? Or is that, again, something that could be done—?

No, that's great. I can feel the beginnings of a recommendation coming there somewhere, Chair.

Could I ask for one short answer from Dr Davis on one other thing? On the good practice during COVID in Cardiff and Vale, you said, 'Yes. Well, it had to end. We couldn't sustain that long term.' How frustrating is it that when you do find something that…

And we're all encouraged to innovate all the time, of course, and come forward with new ideas. Dr Cloete, you wanted to come in.

Should there be, though, a more explicit effort to get other hospitals, health boards to emulate what Bronglais is doing? I accept that different communities have different characteristics and so on, but if we have one really good example there, well…

You mentioned there that, in preparing for today, and we're really grateful that you have clearly put the work in, you have gathered evidence from across health boards. The three of you represent organisations that work nationally. How confident are you that…

Thank you very much, Chair, and thank you very much to the three of you. Your comments and your written evidence will be very useful. Reference has been made already to the variations that are there across Wales. If we could just focus a little bit on that…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The impact of COVID on education
Diolch yn fawr iawn. I'm grateful to you for taking an intervention. I think this is a much more reasonable tone, actually, from Sam Rowlands, and I agree entirely with you. All of us want to get rid of face masks in schools, and everywhere else as soon as…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
My best wishes to the Deputy Minister depend on his answer to the next question, of course. When wind, rain, and high tides come together, the road to the east of Beaumaris near the Laird site floods. It's happening more and more often, and although there are…

Thank you for that response. A week ago, I questioned the health Minister on a number of issues, including how we can ensure that more steps are taken in terms of developing the digital response to COVID, and developing the Welsh NHS app for example. I'll…
