Diolch, Llywydd. With permission, I'd also like to welcome Jack Sargeant to the Assembly, and to congratulate him on the maturity of his opening speech, very confidently delivered, and we look forward to hearing a lot more of him.

The First Minister will know that lots of people in north Wales think the letters NHS stand for 'national health shambles'. Since 2010, the NHS has cut the number of beds in Wales by 18 per cent, but in Betsi Cadwaladr health board they've been cut by even more, down by 21 per cent. Ten days ago, the Betsi Cadwaladr senior staff met with Denbigh councillors to explain why they're cutting 10 beds in Denbigh hospital but only opening five in Ruthin. Last week, the Daily Post reported that health chiefs are blaming extraordinary ongoing pressures for patients sleeping in equipment rooms and in corridors in Llandudno General Hospital because of a lack of hospital beds. Margaret Cowan, who was visiting her father in that hospital, said:

'There used to be 12 wards in Llandudno, now we have only three left, the people of this town deserve to know what's going on.'

Can the First Minister tell the people of Wales what is going on in the national health service in Wales?
