Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 6:01 pm on 12 October 2016.
Thank you, Dirprwy Lywydd. I’ll be very brief, and thank you for taking me to speak. I’ve worked as a teacher, and I did work as a teacher for 23 years. So, I’ve done the job at the sharp end, and latterly I taught many, many children with this condition who were simply let down by the system. I saw the frustrations of families, I saw and experienced how badly these children were treated, and an Act is needed. What I’ll say is that if this vote is not unanimous, then there are Members in this Chamber who should hold their heads in shame.
