ONS figures, of course, show now 4.4 per cent unemployment in Wales, compared with 4.7 per cent across the whole of the UK. ONS figures speak for themselves. But, also, we’re continuing to drive forward improvements in health and social care. Let’s put the record straight again: we spend 6 per cent more on health and social care here in Wales than in England, and people are being treated faster and living longer, waiting times are falling—the latest cancer figures are proof of that. Our new £16 million-a-year new treatment fund will provide faster and more consistent access to new and innovative medicines. Welsh ambulance response times are consistently above target and among the best in the UK. Delayed transfers of care are close to historical low levels despite an increase in demand for hospital care—stark contrast to England where, according to the UK Government’s own figures, delayed transfers of care have risen to record levels and social care is in deep crisis.

On education, pupils’ performance at key stage 4 is continuing to rise. The gap between children receiving free school meals and their peers is narrowing. Absenteeism from our primary schools is at lowest-ever levels. And we are, as has been said already this afternoon, two thirds of the way through the most ambitious school building and replacement programme since the 1960s—112 of 150 schools and colleges either in construction or completed. Thank you, again, to David Rees for drawing attention to that £40 million Ysgol Bae Baglan in Neath Port Talbot. We should be proud of this—in Neath Port Talbot, officially opened last week with Kirsty Williams—a school that has spaces for 1,500 pupils, replacing three secondary schools and one primary school. It will stay open until 10 o’clock at night on weekdays, the canteen transforming into a community cafe. That’s a Welsh Labour Government investing in our children and young people, supporting our teachers—the best learning environment. Ysgol Bro Teifi in Ceredigion—another of our twenty-first century schools—was Wales’s first purpose-built combined primary and secondary Welsh-medium community school. That was designed in partnership with teachers and pupils, linking all phases of learning on a single site. But we’re also implementing a unique package of higher education support, guaranteeing student support linked to the national living wage while they complete their studies.

Also, Dirprwy Lywydd, we’re delivering for communities across Wales. No-one’s mentioned housing. In the last Assembly, we built more than 11,000 affordable homes, and brought 5,000 empty homes back into use. I saw those houses that had been shut up opening up for people who were in housing need, and helping 3,300 homebuyers buying through Help to Buy—Wales.
