Last week, BBC Wales exposed a culture of bullying among NHS staff. The Welsh Government's statement said that,

'Any form of discrimination, bullying and harassment within the NHS is entirely unacceptable and we take these matters very seriously.'

Will the business Minister schedule a debate for the Senedd to explore how these matters are taken seriously and what measures now need to be put in place to give staff, and potential new staff, confidence that our health service respects and values people?

And also, the public consultation on the Welsh Government's race equality action plan closes on 15 July, as the Senedd is about to go into recess. This is clearly an important piece of work, so would the Minister schedule an oral statement from the Minister for Social Justice for the first week back in the autumn term? Thank you very much.
