Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I'm grateful for the opportunity to respond to today's debate, and, of course, this Welsh Labour-led Government supports and values the national health service that my party helped to create 70 years ago. And I'm grateful to hear Tories coming on board and saying that they value the national health service too. There's much in the motion that we can agree upon. There are, of course, points that we disagree on, hence a Government amendment.

I do want to refer back to Angela Burns's opening and the figures that she quoted, underlining the significant scale of NHS Wales activity. That isn't delivered by me, and that's a good thing for the people of Wales. That is delivered directly by our staff, and it's the staff that people refer to when they talk about what they value within the national health service and, indeed, within our social care system. It is a fact, of course, that we have more NHS staff than ever before, and it's their skills, experience and values that are fundamental to a successful NHS and social care system.

Now, the differences that we have are one thing, but we do all agree that we want to support our staff, and this Government fully recognises that fact. That's why, in 'A Healthier Wales', our long-term vision for health and social care, we've ensured that the health and care workforce are at the heart of the way that we expect to shape future services. That's why we'll implement the quadruple aim recommended by the parliamentary review. We're committed to ensuring that, with the workforce, we improve well-being, capability, engagement and leadership. Those are part of the four interlocking aims that will drive the changes that we would all want to see, to ensure that we're achieving our future vision of a whole-system approach to health and social care here in Wales.

The third part of the motion calls for the Government to publish an integrated strategy for the health and care workforce. I previously committed to a long-term plan for the workforce in this Chamber, and that is now embedded in 'A Healthier Wales'. We have a clear commitment to deliver an integrated strategy for the health and social care workforce by the end of 2019.
