Motion NDM6829 as amended:

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Recognises the work that is being done to build the capacity of the Welsh NHS to meet demand for services throughout the year, not just in the winter months.

2. Notes that year-round pressures need to be recognised and understood to support the ability of the NHS to provide consistent and equitable access to out-of-hours, critical care and ambulance services.

3. Calls upon the Welsh Government to support the implementation of a Healthier Wales to address pressures on out-of-hours, critical care and ambulance services to ensure that patients receive timely services which meet their needs.

Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 28, one abstention and 21 against. The motion as amended is therefore agreed.

NDM6829 - Motion as amended: For: 28, Against: 21, Abstain: 1
