Thanks to the Minister for this statement today. The first thing I will say is I'm very pleased when I hear of any improvements that are being made in the performance of health boards, wherever that might be in Wales. But I must say, this does read largely like any one of the statements that we have heard over the past five and a half years since the board was put into special measures. I think there must be a template somewhere that has been fetched off the shelf; again, some improvements have been made, but there are still major issues that still need addressing with Betsi Cadwaladr, and I'm not seeing in this statement, certainly, the evidence even to back up the claims that real improvements are being made, so I'd appreciate some more clarity on what is happening. And of course, when you do hear of major issues still in referral-to-treatment and accident and emergency, we're talking about hugely important elements of the health board in the north that are problematic five and a half years on from going into special measures.

I've made my position clear: I think there has been enough of an opportunity to try to turn things around for Betsi Cadwaladr. I think it's time for a fresh start with a new structure for health in the north. I know far too many health workers in the north; I respect them and the work that they are doing in difficult circumstances, and the messages I get from them saying, 'Thank you so much for saying that we need a fresh start.' That's my belief. But, for the time being, of course I welcome additional funding. I also question whether it makes sense to put a time limit on some of the fundamental increases that are being suggested here, and I ask the Minister: does he think now, following the review that has led to this statement today, that there has been a basic error in setting the baseline for funding the health service in the north of Wales? I'm certainly of that opinion and would like to hear the Minister's latest thinking on that.

Finally, we have news of a task and finish group to make recommendations on a proposal for the north Wales medical school. If the good people of Ynys Môn decide that they don't want me to represent them in the Senedd after next May, that is probably the one campaign that I'll be very pleased that we were successful in—in making sure that we move towards the introduction of undergraduate medical training at Bangor University. Let's not dither too much now. I know this Government likes its task and finish groups, but let's make sure that this is a group that decides on the detail of how we move ahead with the establishment of a full medical school for the north of Wales. We need it for the future of the workforce here in the north, and it's something that hopefully we can all agree needs to be pursued now with some urgency.
