Thank you. First Minister, as you are aware, the number of people waiting more than a year for surgery in Wales has increased this year by 400 per cent. Now, in order to get those lists down, health boards are forced to procure some services and health treatments outside Wales. In my own health board, I am aware of several referrals to the Priory clinic for those wishing to access vital mental health services and treatments. To reduce the waiting lists for operations that cannot be performed in good time in Wales, our NHS is now spending £255 million procuring that treatment for people outside of Wales in one year, and the total number of patients is 46,000 patients.

First Minister, we've had devolution now for 20 years and still we're having to procure much-needed health services outside of Wales. What steps will you be taking to ensure that our patients receive the treatment they require in good time and, most importantly, in their own locality and more available than it is currently?
