First Minister, winter pressures haunt us every year: we have these kinds of conversations and it’s always the same groups of people—the elderly, the young and the chronically ill. However, in Pembrokeshire, the community resource teams, which are a joint collaboration between the health board and local government, have been incredibly effective in working together to ensure that people have access to the right services and in preventing hospital admissions. They focus on preventative care and they reduce the need for complex care packages. Basically, their job is to be out there to avert crises. They work in the community, in tandem with doctors. There’s no coincidence, First Minister, that this is a health board that actually has a director of therapies and social sciences—a former occupational therapist. They’re stopping people getting into hospitals, particularly the elderly and particularly those with respiratory problems.

First Minister, would you, first of all, welcome the work they’re doing, because they’re one of the leading practitioners of this in Wales—them and Neath Port Talbot? Secondly, would you come to Pembrokeshire to, first of all, see them in action and also understand a little bit more about the benefits that a director of therapies and social services—allied healthcare professionals—can bring to the changing face of NHS healthcare, particularly over these next 10 to 15 years, when we need more of these people, not fewer?
