I think I mentioned in the questions last week, when Alun Davies and the Member raised these very, very important points in the Chamber, that, clearly, staff should be paid, suppliers should be paid, not least because we know what the implications of the alternative are. It's obviously right in its own terms, but it clearly has ongoing consequences if people aren't paid. I made it clear—and I'll repeat that—that I'd spoken to the health board chair, and expressed my concerns, to make sure that practices should be complying with the general medical services contract, making sure that people were paid, and that the level of clinical governance and the availability of appointments was as they needed to be. 

In my most recent conversations with the board, their understanding of the availability of appointments was that it was broadly consistent with the arrangements that had been in place previously, in terms of the volume of appointments that had been in place, when the health board was directly managing those practices, but I have asked for a further account from the health board this week, after the further discussions they've been having. There clearly needs to be a plan to make sure that services are sustainable and providing the level of access that we want people to see. So, as I mentioned last week, I'll be happy to report back to the Senedd when I have that further account.
