This Welsh Labour Government tells us that the pressure over the 2017-18 winter so far has been down entirely to unprecedented peaks in demand. Now, I have no doubt whatsoever that peaks exist. They exist around winter, as they do at other times of the year as well, and we've heard that there have been some particularly big spikes. But you cannot keep fobbing people off with the same story time and time again, because you're not reflecting what's actually happening and what people on the front line are telling people like me and the Conservative spokesperson opposite.

The truth is that our NHS does not now have the resilience to be able to cope with peaks. Bed capacity has been continuously over the 85 per cent safe level since 2011. Over the same period since then, successive Labour Governments have cut bed numbers by 10 per cent. I don't think that's a coincidence. We in Plaid Cymru say, 'Reverse the bed cuts'. We've outlined how we'd want to train and recruit a 1,000 extra doctors and thousands of extra nurses over the next decade or so.

Hospitals inadequately equipped with both beds and staff, coupled with a lack of integration with social care means cancelled operations; it means ambulances queuing up outside emergency departments; it means patients on beds in corridors; and it means that our excellent staff, who you mentioned and all of us do, and treasure, being put under more and more pressure. It is unsustainable. I've said it before and I'll say it again here now: I fear that having run the Welsh NHS for the last 19 years almost, Labour can't now face up to the depths of the NHS's problems, because to admit to those problems would be to admit to your part in causing those problems. When will this Government take its head out of the sand, admit to the problems and put a proper, long-term, sustainable plan in place to deal with them?
