If I could just ask, perhaps, one of you to respond to that point, just for time. Who would like to address that? Would anyone in particular like to address that point?

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with organisations that represent disabled people and carers
No. Anybody else want to come in on Mark's question? Don't feel you—. Sam.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with organisations that represent disabled people and carers
Any other questions, Mark?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with organisations that represent disabled people and carers
We may not have time for everyone to answer, so don't feel obliged to answer every question that Members ask, but is there somebody who particularly wants to address that point? There we are, Jake.

Thank you, Sam. Jake, I might just ask you to hold fire, because in the next set of questions, perhaps there'll be some opportunity for you to draw out some examples in that as well. Mark Drakeford.

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with organisations that represent disabled people and carers
Thank you, Kat. Samantha or Jake, in terms of your organisations' roles in advocating for others, are there any examples when it comes to supporting people with direct payments that you can talk to us about, to help, perhaps, with the following questions that…

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with organisations that represent disabled people and carers
No-one's going to tell you what to do, so you're strong yourself to progress that point with the local authority, but of course, others that you advocate for don't have that strong voice that you do. So, perhaps expand a bit on some of those who you're…

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with organisations that represent disabled people and carers
Do you feel happy, Kat, just talking a little bit about your situation, then, if you're somebody who is battling the system yourself? Do you want to just expand on that a bit more?

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with organisations that represent disabled people and carers
The second part was just asking, in terms of what's in the Bill, the provisions in the Bill, do you think as it's set out now that's going to have the desired outcomes that you want to see.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with organisations that represent disabled people and carers
And Kat, the same question, but I'm going to just open it up a little bit more as well and ask you whether you think the provisions within the Bill, and what the Bill sets out, will have the desired outcome that you would like to see.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with organisations that represent disabled people and carers
You're quite right. In this session, we're particularly interested in the direct payments.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with organisations that represent disabled people and carers
Thank you all for being with us this morning. If I can ask a very general opening question. I'm asking for just a brief overview of your thoughts on the provisions within the Bill—fairly brief, but just an overall position from you. Who would like to address…

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with organisations that represent disabled people and carers
Welcome back to the Health and Social Care Committee. We move to item 3 and we continue our scrutiny of the Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill. We have a panel with us this morning in order to continue the discussion around the introduction of direct…

Thank you, Shahd, that's really kind of you to say. We're going to end this section of the meeting now and we're going to take a few minutes' break, so I'll say goodbye to you all. Thank you very much. Diolch yn fawr iawn. We'll take a five or six-minute…

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with disabled people on proposals to introduce direct payments for Continuing NHS Healthcare
Thank you, Cecilia. Can I thank you all so much, Nathan, Cecilia and Shahd? I apologise, Shahd, I think I pronounced your name wrong a few times. And also, Chris, can I apologise? I interrupted a couple of times, but we had so many questions to get through…
, Health and Social Care Committee
Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with disabled people on proposals to introduce direct payments for Continuing NHS Healthcare
Thank you, Shahd. And Cecilia, you're the last one to be able to give a key message to us.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with disabled people on proposals to introduce direct payments for Continuing NHS Healthcare
Thank you, Nathan and Chris. I'll come to Shahd next. Are there any key messages that you want to leave us with?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with disabled people on proposals to introduce direct payments for Continuing NHS Healthcare
So, I'll come to you one by one, then, for that last question. I think Nathan and Chris, you were indicating first there. So, we're looking for key messages that you want to put across to us.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with disabled people on proposals to introduce direct payments for Continuing NHS Healthcare
Thank you, Shahd. Thank you very much. Thank you. I'm going to come to the last set of questions now, which are going to be from John Griffiths. So, John.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with disabled people on proposals to introduce direct payments for Continuing NHS Healthcare
Thank you, Cecilia. Shahd, can I just check: did you want to say anything on the last couple of questions that have been asked? If you don't, that's fine—I'll go on to the next person who's asking questions.
