Motion NDM7241 as amended:
To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:
1. Notes that the people of Wales voted to leave the European Union in the referendum held on the 23 June 2016 and that Wales, along with the rest of the United Kingdom, will leave the European Union at 23.00 on 31 January 2020.
2. Recognises that there are benefits as well as challenges arising from the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union.
3. Believes that the challenges may include a significant threat to the future of the United Kingdom itself; that therefore significant reform to the constitution is needed to fully embed devolution; and that the negotiation of Free Trade Agreements with the EU and other countries, without the meaningful involvement of the devolved administrations could risk undermining the devolution settlement; and regrets that this was not recognised by the UK Government during the passage of the EU (Withdrawal Agreement) Act in the UK Parliament.
4. Supports the 20-point plan put forward by the Welsh Government in ‘Reforming our Union’ which will ensure that devolution becomes an established part of the constitution once the UK leaves the EU.
5. Calls upon the Welsh Government to continue to engage positively with the UK Government and to speak up for the interests of Wales as the United Kingdom leaves the European Union.

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:
1. Notes the latest NHS performance statistics and regrets the continued failure to achieve performance targets across a range of specialities and services.
2. Regrets the cancellation of planned operations to deal with winter pressures and believes it is possible to plan for dealing with winter pressures whilst ensuring routine procedures continue.
3. Believes that staff in the NHS and social care should be congratulated for their performance under difficult circumstances.
4. Recognises the impact a decade of unjust UK driven austerity has on the resources available to fund public services including health and social care and believes that improvements in the NHS can only be sustained in the long run if:
a) NHS and social care work together as equal partners;
b) investment continues across both systems to support people to stay well and out of hospital;
c) there remains a focus on the recruitment, retention and wellbeing of our health and care workforce supported by the joint health and social care workforce strategy.
