I note all of the other carers who have joined us today; some of them are in the public gallery. Many carers shared their personal experiences during the development of this bill so that we could make sure that it reflected the needs and wants of carers, so that, when they get their recognition, it hits the right mark.

I commend the amendments to the Assembly.

Adjournment
Motion (by Ms Stephen-Smith) proposed:
