So, I do know that community interest companies and other businesses can be commissioned within primary care clusters to deliver local services to the community, and increasingly we do want local health boards and well-being services to collaborate in the delivery of those services, which makes sense to provide for a cluster population. Those might involve establishing a community interest company, for example. I'm not sure if that's the model that your constituent Joanne has, but I will, if I might, ask you to write with some further information about the particular challenges facing Joanne and her business in relation to being able to take on the referrals that she has and provide them with a service. And I'll make sure that it then has the attention of the Minister for health, who would be the responsible Minister in this space.
