No, David. Sorry. David put his hand up. Just come in on that point, and then, Lesley, I'll bring you back in, okay. David, go ahead.

David or Suzie, would you like to reflect before I bring Lesley in with a question on some of this? David?

Improving access to support for unpaid carers: evidence session with local health board representatives
Yes. Thank you, David. So, in total, how well do you think regional partnership boards are serving, and meeting, you know, driving the need that is required by carers? Are you doing what you think—? Are the boards doing all they can with what they've got?

Improving access to support for unpaid carers: evidence session with local health board representatives
So, they’re directly influencing the outcomes from the RPB. That's good to hear. We've got David back. Welcome, David, and thank you. Hopefully, we've sorted out those little issues. I'm not sure if you heard the first question. I don't know if you wanted to…

Are you seeing those levels of burnout from people, that sheer desperation they're facing, as well as the financial issues? You're getting a feel about the ambit of pressures there, aren't you?
