Well, I'm afraid, Llywydd, that things are just not as simple as the Member implies. He says that vaccination has broken the link between falling ill and hospitalisation, and that simply is not true. It has amended the link, thank goodness, and it has very significantly reduced the risk that people who fall ill will end up in hospital, but it certainly hasn't broken it. You heard the leader of the opposition's questions quite rightly pointing to the pressures that the health service is under today—pressures exacerbated by the fact that we have over 500 people per 100,000 people in Wales now ill with coronavirus, 2,500 new cases yesterday, a rising number of people in beds with coronavirus, real pressures in our acute intensive care area, and all of this being carried by staff who are exhausted by the experience of caring for us all during the last 18 months.

I don't want to see lockdowns return here in Wales. I hope the blunt instrument of a lockdown will absolutely not be necessary, but, in the end, if there were to be a new variant of the virus, if the health service were to be so dedicated to dealing with coronavirus because of numbers continuing to increase, this Welsh Government will not turn our back on any measures that, in the end, are necessary to protect the health of people, and, by doing so, to protect the economy as well.
