Thank you very much, Llywydd. It's a pleasure to be able to present this debate today to draw attention to the current situation in Wales with regard to motor neurone disease and access to the treatment and facilities that are currently available in Wales. It's a pleasure to confirm that I have agreed to give a minute of my time to Peter Fox, who has led so much on this issue.

Motor neurone disease, or MND, as it is commonly know, is a deadly disease that develops particularly rapidly, affecting the brain and spinal cord. The disease attacks the nerves that control the body's movements to such an extent that muscles can no longer function. This leads to people being locked in bodies that are failing them, making speaking and moving impossible, meaning that they are, in the end, unable to breathe and die as a result of MND.
