Well, going forward, then, we could write again and ask what the difference is between the grant funding or the procurement. But I still don't think there is much to be gained, at this point, regarding it, and it may be something for a future Government to…

So, as you said, with public procurement, if it was procurement, there would be the social value element maybe weighting towards Wales, if that was part of it, as opposed to going across the border. But it wasn't; it was under grant funding and they weren't…

Yes, I saw that. Yes. So, it's a dispute, really, between the Welsh Government and the organisation. We've had a response from the Cabinet Secretary, as you said, as to why the grant wasn't given back to Technocamps. So, any other views from committee members?

When I arrived by train this morning through Hereford, either side of the railway line was just flooded. The fields were just flooded. They were like lakes everywhere. I was just so relieved that work had been done to protect the line. I know we've discussed…

Yes. Okay. So, we'll agree to keep the petition open and write again to the AWMSG with the petitioner's additional detailed questions. I could go forward this case as well to them, because it just doesn't seem to make sense. If I could forward that to the…

Somebody wrote to me regarding a case, and it seems really complicated and messy the way it's delivered, or not, and there's a lack of consistency. And she says that there appears to be a serious gap between hospital-initiated treatment and community…

I met her afterwards. It's such an important issue, and although we can't do any more now—we're coming to the end of our term—we've had the debate, we'll have to close this petition, and I look forward to her continuing to work on this, and I'm sure it'll be…
