Thank you. And if other Members want to come in on the back of anything that Jan has said, then obviously please indicate. Jan, I know we're a little short of time, so do you mind if Members politely interrupt if they want to move on to the next question? No…

Thank you, Jan, for your very full answer there. I appreciate that. Of course, the health board needs strong governance and good financial management, and you have outlined much of your past experience. So, how would you draw on your past roles in terms of…

Topical Questions
I associate myself with the comments the Minister made about the attendance at the scene today by the air ambulance service. I don't think I can do justice, Minister, to how let down people feel across mid and north Wales. I've not had one constituent come to…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport: Priorities for Transport: Listening, partnership, making change
