Therefore, the one vote today we have is on the Welsh Conservatives' debate on young adult carers. I call for a vote on the motion tabled in the name of Darren Millar. If the proposal is not agreed to, we vote on the amendments tabled to the motion. Open the vote. Close the vote. For the motion 14, no abstentions, 30 against, therefore the motion is not agreed and we move to vote on the amendments.

And I now call for a vote on the motion as amended. 

(Translated)

Motion NDM7050 as amended:

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Notes that there are more than 21,000 young adult carers in Wales aged 14-25 who provide assistance and support for families and friends.

2. Is deeply concerned that young adult carers have significantly lower educational attainment than their peers and that they are three times more likely to be not in education, employment or training (NEET).

3. Calls on the Welsh Government to urgently address the support needs of young adult carers, as well as barriers to education, training and employment they face, including:

a) early identification of young carers to help them with accessible support and reduce the likelihood of young people disengaging from education;

b) bringing forward national introduction of the young carers’ ID card and working with local authorities to implement the card

c) increasing awareness of local authorities of their duties under the Social Services and Wellbeing (Wales) Act 2014 to promote the wellbeing of carers who need support;

d) helping young carers to access post-16 education, including through the introduction of a concessionary travel scheme; and

e) ensuring that respite care provision improves so that young carers can have a break.

We will now move to the short debate. If Members are leaving the Chamber, can they do so quickly and quietly, please? Can I ask, if Members are leaving the Chamber, please do so?
