Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. I'd like to take the opportunity today to discuss the third-biggest cause of deaths in Wales today, lung disease. Respiratory illness affects one in five lives in Wales, a higher rate than the UK average. Mortality rates haven’t improved greatly in the last 10 years, and, sadly, we have the fourth-highest figures in Europe.
