I too would like to thank Darren Millar for submitting today's vitally important debate and, of course, Russell George for opening today's debate on NHS waiting lists. I'd like to start today by firstly putting on record my gratitude and thanks to all those wonderful and dedicated people who work in our health service, who go above and beyond in the work that they carry out. As someone who has both a brother and a sister who are nurses in the NHS, I understand first-hand the work and dedication carried out by so many—[Interruption.] An important phone call, I'm sure.

Nevertheless, Deputy Presiding Officer, it's this Welsh Government who continues to fail our health service here in Wales, and, of course, this is an issue that was evident, as already described eloquently by so many, long before the COVID-19 pandemic started. This has been a responsibility for Government here in Wales for 23 years now, and, with all due respect to Jenny Rathbone's contribution, I hear what was said, but 23 years to fix many of the issues that have been raised here and I too will raise in a moment—.

We constantly see, of course, a significant portion of taxpayers' money in Wales, over half of Welsh Government's budget, being spent on health, and we have to ensure we see value for money.
