[Inaudible.]—model, because this is throughout Wales. We have a lot of patients who have osteoporosis, and we need to see whether they have a uniform policy. And if there's not a uniform policy, then it can go to the Welsh Government to have a uniform policy…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Gynaecological cancer
The cancer quality statement is totally inadequate, as you said, and needs to be replaced as soon as possible. The Welsh Government needs to develop a laser-like focus on cancers in general in Wales and produce a strategy to tackle them. All this will inform…
