Leader of the house, is it possible to have a statement from the Cabinet Secretary for health, please, in relation to the situation that the accident and emergency department at the University Hospital of Wales found itself in on Sunday? I appreciate these pressures are across the United Kingdom and I appreciate they do spike at certain times of the year, but when you do have a paramedic saying that this particular event has driven him to the edge and

‘I fully intend to seek alternative employment as I am mentally beaten’, that really should cause huge alarm bells to ring in Cathays Park and, indeed, in the Cardiff and Vale health board area, which is responsible for the provision of the A&E department, and obviously the ambulance trust, which had 12 of their vehicles parked up outside the A&E department on Sunday afternoon. I’m not trying to say that this doesn’t happen in other A&E departments, but this is the largest A&E department in Wales, and when you have 12 ambulances and you have paramedics and ambulance staff quoted in the press as saying that they are mentally beaten by the experience that they are going through, this really does call for action from the Welsh Government and, in particular, the Cabinet Secretary to work with the health board to deal with these spikes in demand, so that people do not feel that when they go into work, they find themselves mentally beaten.
