Thank you, First Minister. Last week, along with the Cabinet Secretary for health, I attended the launch of the new state-of-the-art in-patient unit at Malpas. The 15-bedded unit offers support for people with complex symptom-management needs and end-of-life care, and, as you mentioned, the investment of £3 million of Welsh Government money for the St David’s hospice is a good example of how to deliver first-class hospice care and helps to meet the demand of palliative care services in south-east Wales. So, will you join me, First Minister, in paying tribute to the vision of the board of directors at St David’s, particularly the chief executive, Emma Saysell, and the tremendous support of the local community and volunteers, and to show that investment from Welsh Government, in partnership with the health board and local authority, can make a real difference to the lives of people when they need it most?
