I would like to pay tribute to all the staff working to deliver services in the Cwm Taf Morgannwg health board area, not just the medical staff, who have shown such resilience in the past 18 months, but those leading the organisation in what has been a challenging time. We know that the board were facing substantial challenges before the onset of the pandemic, and many of the weaknesses in our health services were exposed by COVID-19. Benefiting from higher quality neonatal and maternity services is still a priority of the local community, and I hope the board is focused on this.

My questions are, Minister: in your written statement earlier today, you said that there has been loss in momentum because of COVID, but that the programme is on the right track to deliver long-term and sustainable improvements. Unless something drastic has been done to regain the lost momentum, how is the programme on track?

No. 2: the independent maternity services oversight panel's thematic stillbirth category report paints a bleak picture. We should be valuing what women have to say about these services, and this has not been the case. What does this health board and others need to do to listen to the views of women who have been neglected and ignored? My last question, Minister: the oversight of the board is critical. In other spheres, people would have been replaced, and the competency of the board put under review. What are you doing to ensure that the board is fit for purpose? Thank you very much.
