Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services – in the Senedd at 2:09 pm on 11 May 2022.
Health Minister, obviously, one of the key things about community support from the health profession is to have the right quality of staff and quantity of staff in the community. It's International Nurses Day tomorrow, as I understand it, and one of the measures that a previous Welsh Government took on board was that it brought forward the Nurse Staffing Levels (Wales) Act 2016 that is specific to certain hospital ward settings. Are you minded to support the extension of that Act into the community, so that on issues raised by the Member for the Rhondda we can have confidence that community support staff, and nurses in particular, are adequately resourced and in place to advise families when they face these critical positions when a newborn baby is born into the family?
