Diolch eto, Llywydd.

Minister, thank you very much for your statement on social care funding that came out this morning. In the face of the £2 billion extra that came from the Conservative UK Government for this, I think it was important for you to make an early statement that you are prepared to commit money that we’ve acquired through the Barnett consequential for the same purpose, and so I do welcome that. You’ve already announced additional moneys, aimed, I think—it seems to me, anyway—almost entirely to meet the additional cost of providing the national living wage; obviously, I support that. But this new £9 million from the Barnett consequential that you’ve announced today seems to be aimed at exactly the same purpose. Is that because your original allocation was insufficient, or do you have new figures that have revealed that the costs of this were higher than you anticipated?
