They say there are 3,000 vacancies including those in the independent care and GP surgery sectors. 

So, I will call on you to endorse the motion as unamended, and I regret, as did Angela, the removal of January prior to 2019 in the Welsh Government amendment calling for an integrated strategy for our health and social care workforce. We need a clear commitment, and I hope we heard it from the Minister or Cabinet Secretary, that that does mean we're guaranteed a plan next year. Thank you.
