Minister, concerns about chronic understaffing at the Grange hospital have been circulating since the hospital opened in November 2020. On announcing the early date of the opening, the previous health Minister said that the facility would provide more capacity and resilience in the system. However, at present, the Grange hospital has the worst A&E waiting times in Wales, with fewer than 41 per cent of patients being seen within four hours, and this statistic is from August 2021.

Last month, it was reported that patients were waiting up to 18 hours to receive treatment and that 15 ambulances were waiting to hand over patients. In reply to Andrew R.T. Davies's written question last month, you said that it was the responsibility of the Aneurin Bevan health board to meet the needs of their community. So, Minister, will you now take immediate action to address the staff shortages and excessive workloads that are demoralising the workforce and put patients' safety at risk, before the inevitable increase of pressure on services made worse by the coming of winter? I did hear your previous answer, so I just wanted to ask you, as a request: will you now be monitoring the Aneurin Bevan health board? I hope that you will give us an assurance that you will come back to us in the Senedd and report the findings to us before Christmas, if you indeed are. Thank you, Minister.
