The Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme—the SSNAP—published a UK-wide audit of stroke services in our hospitals, and Wales plays its part in contributing data on a regular basis to this important work. Their acute organisational audit report in December 2019 showed that only 30 per cent of hospital sites across the UK had the recommended level of registered nurses working at the weekend. Can the Minister confirm if any of these hospitals were in Wales, and, if so, what is being done to ensure the right number of nurses are in our stroke units? Thank you, Minister.
