To propose that the Senedd:

1. Recognises the dedication and sacrifice of all staff in the health and social care workforce in Wales.

2. Welcomes the historic levels of funding by Her Majesty’s Government to all regions and nations of the UK, including Wales, in successive budgets and in the fight against COVID-19.

3. Notes the recommendations from the independent NHS pay review body in Wales and the Welsh Government’s decision to award NHS staff a 3 per cent pay rise.

4. Calls on the Welsh Government to urgently tackle working conditions such as mental health support, retention, upskilling and filling staffing gaps within the NHS, to ensure we have a workforce fit for the future.
