Thank you. Well, I'd like to start by thanking the Llywydd for addressing a serious affront to the Welsh Parliament: the health Minister choosing to make such an important statement outside this Chamber. Now, having considered the written statement, I welcome the fact that he has extended the weekly testing regime for a further four weeks, but I am alarmed that he may reduce care home testing from 10 August. I would like to remind the Minister that Care Inspectorate Wales have been notified of 3,382 adult care home resident deaths since 1 March. That's 74 per cent higher than deaths reported for the same time period last year. Seven hundred and thirty four care home residents have died with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, and the Older People's Commissioner for Wales has rightly described the situation in our care homes as a tragedy. More should and could have been done sooner to support residents and the staff, who do so much to care for them.

We, here in Wales, had to wait until 15 June for weekly care home testing of staff to commence, almost three months from the start of lockdown. Why? Why did the Welsh Government choose to state that the testing policy was under review instead of extending testing for staff immediately? Surely an extension was reasonable and obvious at a time when there continues to be a high number of adult care home residents dying of all causes—112 between 4 and 10 July. Moreover, it was and is perfectly feasible to extend weekly testing immediately and to maintain this beyond 10 August, when considering that testing in Wales is only still at around 20 per cent capacity. Bearing that in mind, do you agree with me that weekly testing should be extended to care home residents and other front-line social care staff like domiciliary care workers?

You know I have raised this with you, Minister. You know that you shared your concerns with me—
