1. Introductions, apologies, substitutions, and declarations of interest

Bore da. So, I'd like to welcome all Members and the public to the meeting of the Health and Social Care Committee. The public items of this meeting are being broadcast live on Senedd.tv, and a Record of Proceedings will be published as usual. The meeting is bilingual and simultaneous translation from Welsh to English is available. We have had no apologies this morning. Are there any declarations of interest? Safa.

I currently work as a consultant in the NHS in Swansea Bay University Health Board. 

Just me as well. I used to work for the north Wales health authority, and also, I used to work for the Welsh Assembly Government in Cathays Park at one stage—all in health.

I'm sorry, I didn't realise that was—. Yes, I am too. It was previous, not now any more.

I was previously NHS, but I have my own private practice.
