I don't need to explain too much about the content of the motion itself. We condemn the UK Government's proposal to give a tiny pay increase of 1 per cent for nurses—and I see the Minister laughing; perhaps he can explain why he's laughing in just a moment. We condemn the UK Government's proposal to give a totally inadequate 1 per cent pay rise to nurses and other NHS staff, which would amount to a real-terms cut in their wages, in order to make it entirely clear that we wouldn't accept a settlement such as that here. We are calling on the Welsh Government to make further representations to the NHS pay review body, supporting a fair wage for staff. We're also expanding the motion to include care staff. Plaid Cymru wants to integrate health and care by having a national health and care service. You will have heard me talking about that in the past, and I'll be doing so again over the next few weeks as the election approaches. One of the upshots of that would be to bring care staff into the same pay grades as health staff over time, and this motion calls for the delivery of the first stage of that, with a minimum of £10 an hour immediately for care workers to start to deal with that disparity.

So, the aim here is very simple. You will have all, I think, received an e-mail from the Royal College of Nursing today saying that they welcome this afternoon's debate, so I'd like to thank them for working with me throughout my time as a Plaid Cymru health spokesperson. I'd like to thank all of their members for their work throughout the recent pandemic. That e-mail asks us all as Members what we're going to do in order to show our real appreciation and to show our support for a proper and fair pay settlement for our health and care staff. One thing that you could do is to support this motion this afternoon. Thank you.
