So, our final vote is on the motion as amended.

(Translated)

Motion NDM7655 as amended:

To propose that the Senedd:

1. Condemns the UK Government’s recommendation to the NHS Pay Review Body for a wholly inadequate 1 per cent pay rise to nurses and other NHS staff which would amount to a real terms cut in their wages.

2. Acknowledges that the Welsh Government has noted the different position from the NHS trade union on what they believe is a fair and affordable pay uplift and has made further representations to the NHS Pay Review Body to confirm that no arbitrary cap has been set.

3. Believes that the pay review bodies should report independently on a pay that is both fair and affordable.

4. Recognises that NHS Wales pays the Real Living Wage, that the Welsh Government supports the Real Living Wage as the minimum rate of pay for social care workers and has established the Social Care Fair Work Forum which is looking at how to improve terms and conditions in the sector.

5. Acknowledges that one of the key themes of 'A Healthier Wales: Our Workforce Strategy for Health and Social Care' focusses on fair rewards and recognition for staff.

That concludes voting time for today, but we have one remaining item of business, and that is the short debate.
