Our amendments here specify that not only should Welsh Ministers be able to be recipients of representation by the CVB, as is proposed by the Conservatives, but that if they do receive representation the Government then has to provide a response. So, I would ask the Conservatives to perhaps look at ours as an improvement on their amendment—or at the very least, if your amendments fall, that you consider supporting ours as having another crack at it. I do appeal for support from across the Senedd.

I'm starting to think that we're talking about a dental Bill here, because I'm going to talk about teeth again. [Laughter.] This is another one of those elements where we're calling for this Bill to have real teeth; rather than talk about raising standards in ambiguous terms, that there are actual steps that are supported through legislation to make sure that improvements happen and, when concerns are raised, that they are acted upon. That is precisely what our amendments here are designed to do.

This is vitally important, I think, to ensure the CVB does have teeth and is able to hold the Minister to account. I know he doesn't like to be reminded of the fact too often, but he is actually responsible for running the health service in Wales, and I think it's pretty relevant, therefore, to provide the CVB with the power to make representations to him and to his successors. And, of course, it's also important that any body in receipt of a submission provides a written response, otherwise the CVB will just be on a list of organisations that perhaps feel that they are being ignored. So, we think that this is extremely important. A failure to back these amendments today would simply add further evidence to our view that this legislation is really about removing an effective scrutiny body, replacing it with a toothless body, and, again, another reason why we can't support the Bill.
