Good afternoon and a warm welcome to this Plenary session. Before we formally begin, may I ask you to take account of a few issues? This is a Plenary meeting held by video-conference in accordance with the Standing Orders of the National Assembly for Wales, and it constitutes proceedings of the Assembly for the purposes of the Government of Wales Act 2006. Some of the provisions of Standing Order 34 will apply for today's Plenary meeting, and these are noted on your agenda. I wish to remind Members that Standing Orders relating to order in Plenary meetings apply to this meeting and also the new time limits on the length of questions that have been applied to this meeting, as communicated to Members yesterday.

Before we move to our agenda, I wish to deal with two points of order. The first on unparliamentary language. A point of order was raised at the end of Wednesday's Plenary meeting regarding off-camera comments made by the Minister for Health and Social Services. I wish to call on the Minister to contribute at this point—Vaughan Gething.
