Diolch, Deputy Presiding Officer. Can I thank the Minister for her statement today? I agree with much of what's been said in the Minister's contribution. In the past few years, due to the fantastic work conducted by scientists and healthcare workers, we have seen HIV transmission significantly reduced, which has helped, of course, limit the detrimental impact the virus has had on a person's life. Figures show that HIV cases have dropped by 15 per cent in Wales since 2018, and this is testament, of course, to the expanded HIV testing and the effectiveness of HIV treatments. However, I did notice also that the numbers of those in Wales who are diagnosed late is well above the UK average, so of course, I welcome the HIV action plan that the Minister's outlined but I wonder if the Minister can provide some information on how the Government plans to address late diagnosis, in Wales in particular.

I think thanks to the amazing work over a number of decades, people living with HIV can do exactly that: they can live, and those with HIV can now live long and healthy lives with the medication even making it possible to reduce the disease to where it is non-transmissible. But as the Minister's pointed out in her statement today, there's still the issue of stigma around HIV, and I wonder if the Minister can perhaps just talk a little bit more in terms of the action plan in that regard, because it's certainly been my view from the small amount of research that I've done here that the stigma issue should be a central part of that plan, so I wonder if the Minister would agree with that position.

One of the key learnings of the COVID-19 pandemic is the importance, of course, of rapid access to effective treatment and new technologies. People living with HIV should be able to access any new innovation and technology in a rapid and a safe manner in order to help improve their quality of life, and it's great to see the new treatment I think that the Minister outlined in her statement today. I think it's an injectable treatment for HIV-1 infections in adults, if I've got that right; I think that's being rolled out soon, as I understand it, which means patients will be able to stop taking daily medications. I don't know if the Minister knows more about that, but it would be useful to know if with that new treatment, how often the injections have to be given, and will the treatment be open to every HIV positive adult in Wales.

Good to know a bit more about the development of the plan as well; the Minister mentioned in her comments about the Terrence Higgins Trust and Fast-Track Cities. Are these organisations going to be part of developing that plan? A bit more information in that regard.

And of course, finally, we know that we've got a large vacancy rate in terms of nurses in Wales—1,700 nurse vacancies—so of course, we want to help those living with HIV in Wales to live long and healthy lives, so we need to maintain a workforce to facilitate that. So, I wonder if the Minister will commit to developing a strategy in this regard for recruitment and retention of the HIV workforce, in particular in clinical settings, local government and the voluntary sector. Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd.
