Yes. I mean, obviously, the point of having the consultation is to find out what people think. Our commitment to this is unwavering, but, obviously, we will take into account what people have said and we will consider what they've said.

Diolch. Thank you very much for that question. To eliminate profit from children's care is one of the top commitments of the Government, and we are determined to do all we can to take this forward, because the present market is unsustainable. There are very…

Well, obviously, advocacy, I think, is very important, and the role of parental advocacy is to support parents to positively engage with social workers, with third sector organisations, the family courts and other professionals to resolve issues that have…

[Inaudible.]—that we took the initiative in Wales because it wasn't being rolled out in Wales because, obviously, family justice is an England-and-Wales issue. So, courts had been funded in England. I think there are about 15 courts in England, the majority…

Thank you very much, Ken, for that question. We are absolutely convinced of the value of the problem-solving family court model. I'm really pleased that the Welsh Government funded the family drug and alcohol court in Cardiff and the Vale. We provided…

Just to go back to what Alistair said about what the young people said at the summit, they do really feel that, because they're care experienced, they will not be treated the same as everybody else when they do have children themselves. And this came over…

Diolch yn fawr iawn. Mae'n ofnadwy fod rhaid ichi dynnu sylw at y pethau ofnadwy a ddigwyddodd i Kaylea, ac unwaith eto, rwyf am fynegi fy nhristwch dwysaf fod hyn wedi digwydd. Ond rwy'n credu y dylai ymateb y Llywodraeth fod yn bwyllog, a dylem roi…

Fel y dywedais mewn ymateb i Mike Hedges, yn y pen draw, rydym yn gobeithio y bydd pob plentyn dwy oed yn elwa o Dechrau'n Deg, ond wrth gwrs mae'n rhaid gwneud hyn fesul cam. Felly, mae pob awdurdod lleol yn cyflwyno eu cynlluniau ar gyfer ehangu Dechrau'n…
