Diolch, Llywydd. I'm sure you'll be aware, Cabinet Secretary, of the decision of the highly respected Professor Siobhan McClelland—health economist, health manager; held senior positions on health boards—to leave Wales to seek better care for her husband, who has cancer. She's reported as saying:

'There is neither capacity nor capability in Welsh Government to be making really good health policy.'

Surely you have to agree that, coming from somebody as respected as Professor McClelland, that is about as damning an indictment as you could hear of your running of the Welsh NHS.
