Thank you. As I indicated, the sensitive matters that you alluded to at one point we'll discuss in private, because we've also received correspondence that also appears well written expressing a counter opinion. For us, it's getting the wheat from the chaff…

Thank you. I'll open up to Members. I would caution that there are elements to the letter received that were, as Matt described, based on evidential material, and there were elements that were, perhaps, more controversial and have provoked responses from…

Thank you. Well, I think we've already had some joint working with them, and I think that it was felt that that was quite constructive and objective. But any further thoughts on this, or shall we just ask the clerks to take this forward? Okay, thank you. Now…

Right. Well, this committee was concerned not to replicate any work that our sister committee might be doing within its brief in relation, particularly, to clinical matters or matters related to the delivery of health services specifically. However, as you're…

Okay. Other Members, are you content to work jointly on this basis and as proposed? Again, I've mentioned a number of options in my comments—that we have evidence sessions with the Minister and/or the health board or intervention and support team…

Thank you very much. Well, I believe we'll have an opportunity to discuss this further later in the meeting, so thanks for just refreshing our thoughts on that. If we have no further comments in public on this at the moment, I'll move on to the next item…

Debate on petition P-06-1337 'Sycharth, the home of Owain Glyndŵr, should be bought to safeguard the site for future generations'
Well, as a lover of the real history of the Britons, I'm pleased to support this petition, but also call for this site not only to spotlight the well-known aspects in Wales of Owain Glyndŵr, but his whole life, his years serving the last Norm, the last…

Thank you. Of course, as the Legal Services Board documents, as referred to earlier, they themselves reference legal aid is being reviewed. I know, from previous exchanges with you, that you've been having some input into that. But the issue I highlight…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
