Motion NDM7110 as amended:

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Notes that:

a) there are currently 111,000 people living with sight loss in Wales;

b) the number of people with sight loss is predicted to increase by 32 per cent by 2030 and double by 2050.

2. Welcomes the introduction of new performance measures for eye care patients.

3. Regrets that 1 in 3 patients deemed to be at high risk of losing their sight are waiting longer that their target waiting time for ophthalmology appointments.

4. Calls on the Welsh Government to:

a) robustly hold health boards to account over their failure to meet eye care waiting time targets and implement its eye care measures;

b) progress publication and implementation of the national workforce plan for the whole of the eye care sector and issue a Welsh Health Circular to ensure sufficient capacity in eye clinics to meet the current and future needs of the people of Wales;

c) improve the capture, analysis and learning from complaints and serious incidents where sight loss has occurred;

d) continue to drive forward implementation of the eye care delivery plan recommendations in its final year and notes the Chief Optometric Advisor will work with stakeholders across Wales over the coming months to agree next steps.

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

(Translated)

Motion NDM7111 as amended:

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Notes the cross-party support within the Assembly for the ambition of the Cymraeg 2050 strategy of reaching one million Welsh speakers in a generation.

2. Acknowledges that the Cymraeg 2050 strategy has three elements which pave the way for reaching a million Welsh speakers, namely:

a) increasing the number of speakers through the Cymraeg i Blant / Cymraeg for Kids programme, the improved Welsh in Education Strategic Plans and the new approach to teaching Welsh through the National Centre for Learning Welsh;

b) increasing the everyday use of the language in workplaces, businesses and in the community;

c) providing a solid infrastructure as a basis for all actions which includes public buy-in, linguistic infrastructure, and technology.

3. Celebrates since the launch of Cymraeg 2050, the Welsh Government has made significant progress in the following areas:

a) increasing the number of Cylchoedd Meithrin and Cylchoedd Ti a Fi in order to set more children on the journey into Welsh medium education;

b) moving from assessing the demand to creating the demand for Welsh medium education in order to increase the number of speakers via the Welsh in Education Strategic Plans;

c) launching a new Welsh Language Technology Action Plan which sets out the vision for Welsh to be readily available in technology;

d) funding the National Centre for Learning Welsh to provide the Cymraeg Gwaith / Work Welsh scheme to develop the Welsh language skills of workers within targeted sectors, including the apprenticeship sector;

e) the provision of almost £60 million of capital funding for early years, education and the renovation of Neuadd Pantycelyn and the Urdd facilities at Glan-llyn and Llangrannog;

f) funding 14 business officers across Wales to offer practical advice and tools to help businesses use more Welsh. A helpline will be launched soon to assist with information about the Welsh language, signposting and short translations.

4. Notes the Welsh Government’s active participation in the UN International Year for Indigenous Languages as a platform to celebrate Wales as an outward facing bilingual nation.
