But, keeping in mind the financial situation, could it maybe be time for you to revisit your decision in terms of the balance here? Maybe the balance has shifted a little bit now and maybe you need that charitable status in order to be able to carry on with…

—potential to do more of that kind of work in order to reach what Welsh Government is expecting you to do in terms of the remit letter?

Yes, but in terms of the example you've chosen there in terms of sharing HR, it makes sense that the HR services of the other bodies involved—the human resources, the HR element, could be restructured in order to facilitate bringing you into that as well.

So, what you're saying is that that the collaboration isn't necessarily going to lead to financial savings, which is a bit of a surprise, to be honest, because it's clear that collaboration needs to happen in order for that replicating of work that, perhaps…

Is there anything else that the Welsh Government could do other than simplify the remit and provide additional funding to you, and perhaps provide long-term funding and think about preventative work more specifically. Is there anything else that the Welsh…

What changes would you like to see in the Welsh Government's budget process? You've spoken about having that long-term view, but in the past I think you've talked about creating some kind of preventative budget within health. So, could you tell us a little…

So you are confident that even those clubs at the grass-roots level are fulfilling their obligations in terms of DBS and all of these other checks that need to be undertaken. Is that a priority in terms of the use of the funding, which has reduced?

Are there some basic legal duties—on safeguarding, for example—that are undermined because of the lack of funding, for you as a body but also for the partners and the governing bodies?

Turning to the remit letter that you mentioned briefly there, I take it that that was agreed back at the beginning of this current Government’s term. Has it changed at all to reflect the change in funding that you receive?
