Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 6:17 pm on 25 November 2020.
Thank you very much. It's incredible that it's taken seven or eight months to lose electricity in the house at some point during a Senedd session, but I'm pleased to be able to return.
All I had left as my contribution was to refer to what we were seeking to achieve through our amendment. We do think that we need to review the targets used to see how they encourage behavioural change in the health boards, and whether they are measuring the right things. I also wanted to say that we also believe that, as we do have the Nightingale hospitals to provide capacity, we should use that to increase flow through the system. And just to make the point in conclusion that COVID is a crisis in and of itself, but it's created another crisis from the pressures that already existed in the system. And that's something that we need to see more urgency on and a more meaningful response to. But, Deputy Presiding Officer, thank you for the opportunity to conclude my contribution in that way.
