Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. Like many Members, I’ve had the privilege of meeting voluntary groups and seeing the amazing work that they do. One fine example in my constituency are the Robins, who are volunteers from Age Cymru, working with Aneurin Bevan Local Health Board, who provide support for vulnerable patients at the Royal Gwent and St Woolos hospitals. They take time to talk and read to patients, do their hair and nails, and provide assistance at meal times, make visits to shops and many other things that can make a really big difference. Both staff at the hospital and the patients describe the Robins as invaluable. Will the Cabinet Secretary commend the work of the Robins, who are making a difference for the better in Newport, and commend the efforts of all those who give up their time to volunteer?
