Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:53 pm on 27 September 2016.
I’m grateful to the Member for this question, because they are the unsung heroes of the health service in many ways. They work in the community and in primary care, and, of course, they deliver a lot of preventative care, which is difficult to measure in itself, because how do you measure something that prevents something that would have happened in the future? Of course, they help to deal with admission avoidance, so that more people don’t have to go into hospital, but have the support to stay at home.
