I am coming to a close. It's women and people from black, Asian and minority ethnic communities that make up the most of the nursing workforce, and this is the same cohort of people that is at the bottom of every league in terms of equality and fairness, and these are the people who are suffering because of this policy of not paying them properly. These are the people who support our health service, and without them the service would collapse. We must show our thanks not by clapping, but by giving them a fair salary for their work. Thank you, Dirprwy Lywydd.
