Motion NDM7179 Rhun ap Iorwerth

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Opposes Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board’s decision to introduce new rotas that will extend shifts for nursing staff from January 2020.

2. Believes this is a damaging and retrograde step—particularly at a time when more than one in ten nursing posts in the health board is vacant.

3. Notes that BCUHB has been in special measures for the past four years and is therefore under the direct control of the Minister for Health and Social Services.

4. Calls on the Welsh Government to overturn the decision and protect nurses’ working conditions.
