We have reached voting time, so, unless three Members wish for the bell to be rung, I'm going to proceed directly to the first vote. So, we call for a vote now on the motion tabled in the name of Simon Thomas, Dai Lloyd, David Melding and Jenny Rathbone—the individual Member debate under Standing Order 11.21. If the proposal is not agreed, we will vote on the amendment tabled to the motion. Open the vote. Close the vote. For the motion 48, no abstentions, three against. Therefore, the motion is agreed.
We now move to the vote on the Welsh Conservative debate on the health and social care workforce, and I call for a vote on the motion tabled in the name of Paul Davies. Again, if this proposal is not agreed, we will vote on the amendments tabled to the motion.
Open the vote. Close the vote. For the motion 14, no abstentions, 37 against. The motion is not agreed. Therefore, we go to vote on the amendments.
I call for a vote on amendment 1, tabled in the name of Caroline Jones. Open the vote. Close the vote. For the amendment 21, one abstention, 29 against. Therefore, the amendment is not agreed.
We now move to vote on amendment 2. If amendment 2 is agreed, amendment 3 will be deselected. I call for a vote on amendment 2, tabled in the name of Julie James. Open the vote. Close the vote. For the amendment 29, no abstentions, 22 against. Therefore, amendment 2 is agreed. Amendment 3 is therefore deselected.
I call for a vote on amendment 4, tabled in the name of Rhun ap Iorwerth. Open the vote. Close the vote. For the amendment 51, no abstentions, no-one against. Amendment 4 is agreed.
I call for a vote on amendment 5, tabled in the name of Rhun ap Iorwerth. Open the vote. Close the vote. For the amendment 51, no abstentions, no-one against. Therefore, amendment 5 is agreed.
I now call for a vote on the motion as amended.
