Altaf Hussain: You are right; every year we have a winter. A winter protection plan is a reasonable ask, and as colleagues have observed this afternoon, the Welsh Government has routinely set out its objectives for our health and care system to respond to the pressures of increased seasonal demand whilst attempting to deliver planned care and surgery. In fact, there was such a plan covering the most recent...

The NHS pay review body report,...

Altaf Hussain: Thank you for the opportunity to speak in this debate. I have said on more than one occasion that the COVID pandemic has exposed the weaknesses in many of our services, and a lack of progress in developing world-class mental health services is sadly another example of where this country is now struggling. Mental health knows no boundaries, it does not restrict itself according to one section...

Altaf Hussain: The Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme—the SSNAP—published a UK-wide audit of stroke services in our hospitals, and Wales plays its part in contributing data on a regular basis to this important work. Their acute organisational audit report in December 2019 showed that only 30 per cent of hospital sites across the UK had the recommended level of registered nurses working at the...

2. Business Statement and Announcement (28 Sep 2021)

Altaf Hussain: Minister, a few weeks ago I asked for an investigation into how seven patients at Maesteg hospital died in a COVID outbreak last autumn that affected every patient in the hospital.

So, this means that someone coming into the hospital from a care home or from the...
