Angela, I take your point, but for the reasons I highlighted in the beginning I can't accept your—I had to put my amendment in. So, I do apologise. Thank you.

These shortages don't just contribute to longer and longer waits for patients; they are placing existing staff under unbelievable strain, and one out of every three Welsh GPs feel they are so stressed they cannot cope at least once per week. Nurses have revealed they are leaving work sobbing and patients are dying alone because of these staff shortages. We would need an additional 78 clinical oncologists if our oncologists were to stick to their contracted hours. Our NHS is being tested to breaking point and the pressures are due to continue to pile up. 

Yes, the Welsh Government are to implement new ways of working, but we need the staff to carry out these roles. We have to plan for future need. We can't just recruit doctors and nurses overnight; they take years of training. Our health and social care workforce are our most valuable resources, let's support them by ensuring they are not overworked and undervalued. We need an urgent national workforce plan and I urge Members to support the motion and my two amendments. Thank you.
