Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd. We tabled this motion to give the Government an opportunity to align itself with clinical opinion, and to use the extra investment in diagnostic capacity to prioritise achieving this 28-day diagnostic target, which I haven’t plucked from the air; this has come from the people who know something about this. This could clear a bottleneck in the system and lead to faster treatment. I regret that the Government won’t take this opportunity. They seem to suggest that it’s the treatment time that’s more important. Well, of course, the treatment time and the timetable is important, but of course, the earlier the diagnosis, the earlier you can begin treatment and the earlier you can begin treatment, the better the hopes are for survival for the patient. So, we won’t be supporting, clearly, the Government amendment.

We can’t support amendment 2 from the Conservatives either, because it takes out our call for the focus of diagnostic spend in this particular area. Yes, screening is very, very important. If my mother had been screened, she’d still be alive today. She died because she found her cancer too late. But it takes away that key part of our motion today. Support the motion. Twenty-eight days is what, we are told by experts, not just in Wales but further afield, we should be aiming for. I can’t for the life of me see why we wouldn’t want to set that as an ambition.
