Okay, thank you. So, a significant part of your report is in relation to key performance indicators, the KPIs; I know colleagues have some questions around those. Elfed, do you want to come in first on that?

Absolutely, okay. And then in terms of the assurance that what has been reported is accurate, how have you gathered that assurance?

Thank you for that. There's accountability and there's responsibility, and you used the word 'accountability' there, which I think is appropriate, because, of course, the responsibility for the previous performance could be with the previous Auditor General…

Can I build on that slightly? I appreciate your response, Deputy Minister. Do you have a feel, or do your officials have a feel, as to how much of those in that NEET category—that it may be an employability thing rather than a skills thing? I'm wondering in…

We've mentioned a few issues here, obviously, around NEETs, throughout these two hours we've had together, and then the role of apprenticeships and skills. It strikes me we don't often talk much about employability as an issue, so you may have the…

Forgive me, the issue actually is the limited number of options of apprenticeships in Wales. So, whilst, yes, it is controlled at UK level, the choice of which courses are available in Wales is a decision for us here in Wales. So, currently, there are just…

On the apprenticeship levy—and thank you for your response there, Deputy Minister—one of the challenges that some employers have, those who are paying into the levy, because they meet the threshold required to, is that the apprenticeship options don't suit…

You mentioned earlier, Deputy Minister, the conversations you're having across the Cabinet to tackle some of these issues. Are they willing to chip in to support colleges, if that's the case? If they're sitting around the table and recognising the challenges…

Thanks, Minister. And do you think, therefore, it's a fair level playing field for colleges at the moment, if that's the case, where schools and universities are getting the funding required to do the job but colleges aren't?

Good to have you with us this morning. Just going back to the funding for our colleges, just to be really clear on this, colleges are saying that they are currently educating nearly 5,000 learners who aren't funded placements. Are you aware of any other areas…
