We won’t be supporting the Labour amendment today because what it does essentially is to delete our motion in its entirety and present something that talks about the importance of engagement. That is important of course, but the very reason we’re bringing this motion forward today is to establish the principle that what is being proposed here is wrong in the first instance. We will be supporting all of the other amendments, by the way.

Siân Gwenllian was entirely right in saying that there are lessons to be learnt here. Although the decision has been overturned for the time being—and I say 'for the time being' because we may have to return to this if there’s an intention to reintroduce this—the damage has been done to a great extent in terms of undermining the workforce's confidence in the ability of the board to recognise and to listen to the voice of the workforce, and certainly from the point of view of the Minister to recognise that fact. It has certainly impacted morale, which was already low, and I’ve read some of the evidence, and others will have also read evidence, from those working on the front line, many of them on their knees because of the pressures and stress upon them, and yet the board expects more and more from them.

I have no doubt that this decision to withdraw this proposal in terms of nurse rotas in north Wales is a victory for Plaid Cymru, for the unions, for the nurses and the patients, too. I regret the fact that the Minister isn’t willing to accept that this was a mistake. We’ve been given no assurances at all that this will not be allowed to be reintroduced in future, and therefore, on that basis, I would ask Members that we move to a vote on this issue in order to establish the principle that we, as a National Assembly, do oppose the proposal put forward in order to ensure that there’s no possibility of that being considered again in the future.
