Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 3:20 pm on 5 October 2016.
Cabinet Secretary, I don’t know the details of what’s happened in this ward, but as you know, I’m a longstanding advocate of the need to extend the Nurse Staffing Levels (Wales) Act 2016 to adult mental wards. I have made the point previously in the Chamber that the patients on those wards are probably the most voiceless that we will see in the NHS. When this investigation has been completed, will you undertake to share the findings with Assembly Members? And will you in particular look at whether this can give further impetus to the need to extend the safe staffing levels legislation to adult mental health wards in Wales?
