Thank you, First Minister. As you've said, hospitals are under tremendous strain owing to the omicron variant of COVID-19. Dr Phil Banfield, the chair of the British Medical Association's Welsh consultants committee, has described how doctors are getting very distressed about their inability to assess patients in emergency departments, and that the sheer numbers of people getting this variant mean even a small number of them being admitted to hospital could threaten to tip the NHS in Wales over the edge. And that chimes with what an intensive therapy unit consultant from the Aneurin Bevan health board has said on social media about large numbers of COVID patients, and how this, coupled with staff shortages, is affecting the NHS's ability to conduct routine operations, out-patient services and diagnostics. 

Last week, the BMA Cymru members' survey found that one in five doctors in Wales has had to self-isolate from work because of COVID in the past two weeks, and they are calling for the Welsh Government to allow for FFP2 masks to be available for all front-line healthcare staff, and FFP3 masks to be available for all of those treating known COVID patients. So, First Minister, will you provide them?
