And I'd like to know, given the fragmented service, much of it in the independent or private sector, what support is given to domiciliary...
David Melding: Thank you for that answer, Minister. I'm sure we would all in the Senedd want to pass our congratulations on to healthcare staff who've been able to provide a remarkable amount of non-related-to-COVID care in this terrible public health emergency. However, we now know that, as the second wave has been so much more serious than the first, even, nearly half of in-patients, for example, in Cwm...
David Melding: Thank you, Minister. Can I urge that the mental health ministerial delivery oversight board that you have established looks at this? You also reflect on the recent report of the Senedd's Health, Social Care and Sport Committee, which looked at the pandemic and its implications.

David Melding: Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer.

David Melding: Diolch yn fawr. I now hand the chair back to the Deputy Presiding Officer. I'm not sure we have a smooth transition here. Has the Deputy Presiding Officer returned yet?
David Melding: Can we unmute the DPO? Well, whilst we are dealing with this technical difficulty, I will call the next item.
David Melding: Item 6 is the Marketing of Seeds and Plant Propagating Material (Amendment) (Wales) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020. I call on the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs to move the motion—Lesley Griffiths.
David Melding: I still seem to have the Chair, so I will call the Chair of the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee, Mick Antoniw.
David Melding: Thank you very much. I have no other speakers. I will call the Minister in case she wants to respond to anything that the Chair of the legislation committee has said. Minister.
David Melding: Thank you, Minister. The proposal is to agree the motion. Does any Member object? I see no Member objecting, so the motion is agreed in accordance with Standing Order 12.36.
David Melding: We move now to item 7, the official controls of animals, feed and food, plant health fees et cetera regulations. I think the Minister will probably give it its proper title. I call the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs to move the motion. Lesley Griffiths.
David Melding: Thank you, Minister. I have no speakers. Therefore, the proposal is to agree the motion. Does any Member object? I don't see anyone objecting, so the motion is therefore agreed in accordance with Standing Order 12.36.
David Melding: Now a proposal under Standing Order 12.24 to debate items 8 and 9 together, but with separate votes. I do not see any objections.
David Melding: These are the health protection coronavirus regulations 2021. I call the Minister for Health and Social Services, Vaughan Gething.
