Thank you. If I could turn to some of the specifics and our national health service, the NHS is a key priority for the people of Wales and Welsh Conservatives believe that it should be our key priority too. We are, of course, still playing catch up because of the lack of real-terms budget protection over a number of years, but we are where we are. The ‘Prosperity for All’ document states that the Welsh Government will ensure that organisations delivering health and care services will pool their budgets. So, has the current budget accounted for delivery of this aim? I’d be grateful if you could tell us if the organisations that have been involved have been fully informed of how they are intended to implement this.

Whilst I welcome the ongoing commitment that the Welsh Government has announced to a new treatment fund, we still don’t believe that makes up for the lack of a cancer treatment fund, which we have long called for in Wales. At the same time, we know that, across the border, the UK Government has recently announced 2,000 additional nurses, consultants, and therapists for child and adolescent services, and is introducing waiting-time standards for mental health services. Can the people of Wales expect the same level of investment, and how much of the £40 million promised in the budget will allow for such changes in Wales as well, and, crucially, will this be suitably ring fenced?

It’s well known that health boards across Wales are carrying some eye-watering levels of debt. There doesn’t seem to be any real light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to effectively managing this debt. How confident are you, Cabinet Secretary, that the health board deficits, such as the £49 million at Hywel Dda Local Health Board—I could go on—will receive the money that they need through the health budget and that we won’t see spiralling debt in future?

Just turning to transport and infrastructure, the Cabinet Secretary has outlined the tightness of budget and you’ve said about how you intend to use capital funding borrowing powers. There clearly is a shortness of cash there, but we hope that you’ll be able to meet those aims. And, if I could turn to the M4, it is interesting that it’s not that long ago that I remember Plaid Cymru saying that the Welsh Government’s commitment to the black route as its favourite option would be a deal breaker in terms of any future support for a budget. That’s probably more of a question for Plaid than it is for you, Cabinet Secretary, but, that said—and I’m sure you will say that this is currently a matter for the public inquiry—there clearly isn’t deep support for a new motorway, a key plank of the Government’s transport policy, underlying this deal, so is this really a sound basis on which to proceed, and has this deal been stress tested?

To close, Llywydd, and, on a positive note, I welcome the ongoing commitment to a development bank. Welsh Conservatives have long supported the restructuring of Finance Wales, and I hope that this delivers the dividends that we all want it to do. In conclusion, I look forward to working with the other members of the Finance Committee and with yourself to fully scrutinise this draft budget over the weeks and months ahead. And I hope that, at the end of it, Wales will have a draft budget and a finalised budget that will truly deliver for the needs of the people of Wales.
