Thank you for your statement, Minister. NHS staff are our most important resource. Pumping millions of pounds extra into healthcare is to no avail unless we have the doctors, nurses, radiographers, lab technicians and healthcare assistants needed to deliver first-class care. I welcome the progress the 'Train. Work. Live.' campaign is making, and the fact that you have managed to exceed the training places for GPs in every training scheme across Wales is great news. I welcome the increases in training places in nursing, radiography and physiotherapy also. It’s great to see that we are finally making progress.

However, praise aside, Minister, it’s still not enough. Four years ago, the Royal College of General Practitioners told us that we needed to train 200 GPs a year in order to stand still, and we are seeing record numbers of GPs leaving the profession. So, Minister, how many GPs will be trained and recruited next year? That's my first question.

The BMA recently highlighted an issue whereby local health boards across Wales are preventing expansion of GP premises across Wales—expansion that's necessary to provide consulting space for GP trainees. Minister, what assessment have you made of the impact this is having on the campaign to train and recruit more GPs in Wales, please?

If we are to train more staff, we also have to ensure that they want to stay in Wales once they're qualified. Nearly three quarters of Wales’s GPs say they expected the work in general practice to get worse over the next five years. So, Minister, how will the GP recruitment campaign address this fact and the shocking fact that a quarter of current GPs don’t expect to be working in general practice?

And finally, Minister, you have introduced an all-Wales locum register. Will locums on the English register be required to join the Welsh register, and will the Welsh register allow locums from border regions in Wales to work on both sides of Offa’s Dyke? We need to do so much more if we are to avoid the collapse of primary care in Wales, and I look forward to working with you, Minister. Thank you.
