Cabinet Secretary, I did speak with the chair of Hywel Dda by telephone immediately after you issued your statement. What I took from that conversation was that the health board very much welcomes the support that the Welsh Government will now be able to provide it. I think we need to put on record that this isn’t the Welsh Government bailing out, and it isn’t the Welsh Government allowing the health boards to go to the wall, but it is the Welsh Government trying to move in, trying to support and trying to enhance the provision for the people who matter. That is, ultimately, the patient.

The framework of the four escalation levels will now allow us to chart trends. Simply, we will now be able to see whether things are improving or whether things will need some further action. In the case of Hywel Dda and waiting times, for example, we’ve seen a decline in the performance over a few years, including the period for which it’s been under enhanced monitoring status. But there is a contrast, and we have also seen some improvement on ambulance response times, for example. So, I’m really pleased, Minister, that we have intervened and we have recognised that there are weaknesses. What I ask of you is that you will feed back to us, Cabinet Secretary—I can’t get out of the habit of ‘Minister’—that the Government, through the targeted intervention, is able now to advise and to empower Hywel Dda to implement the strategy that will see the changes that we are all hoping for.
