Papers to note
I move to item 3. There's a number of papers to note this morning. There's correspondence with the Welsh Government on a few matters, including the Public Health (Minimum Price for Alcohol) (Wales) Act 2018, and updates on the previous committee's work, which…

Thank you. Thank you, both, for being with us this morning. It's very much appreciated. Diolch yn fawr iawn.

That's good. And is there any advice you have for us as a committee whose job it is to make recommendations to Government and scrutinise Government?

That's helpful. Thank you. Thank you, both, for attending this morning. It's been a really useful session. We'll send you a copy of the transcript from this morning as well. If there's anything that you want to add to what you've said or expand upon, or give…

That's helpful. Finally, and I think this hopefully could be a brief answer, but the social care services are a statutory duty for local authorities. Are you satisfied with the overall quality of social care services, in both children and adult services?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Social care horizon-scanning: evidence session with Care Inspectorate Wales
Okay.

So, why is that? Does that tell us that staff are not being listened to elsewhere?

Social care horizon-scanning: evidence session with Care Inspectorate Wales
No, you've done a really good job. I asked you to bullet point, and you did a really good job in summarising that really helpfully. Thank you. And there's an increase in referrals to you, I note, as well, from staff.

Sorry, yes.

So, tell me what works well. Tell me what is it that needs to be—. What does good leadership and management look like?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Social care horizon-scanning: evidence session with Care Inspectorate Wales
So, how do you believe that leadership and management in general can and should be improved? Perhaps you can bullet point that quickly.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Social care horizon-scanning: evidence session with Care Inspectorate Wales
I've got a few quick questions, but we're over time, so, I'm looking for bullet-point answers, if it's possible. From my own constituency casework bag, there is a recurring theme when it comes to your reports, and the recurring theme is it's leadership…

I suppose to add to that, it's what oversight you have of what local authorities do with reports after they've been sent those reports.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Social care horizon-scanning: evidence session with Care Inspectorate Wales
That's it. I hate to ask that, because it's so helpful to have the longer answers.

Before you answer, I'm just conscious we've got quite a few sections to get through as well, so—
