Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 6:21 pm on 8 June 2022.
Thank you very much, Llywydd. I'm very pleased to move the amendment formally. We've been here before, haven't we? We've been here so many times previously, and it saddens me. There's no criticism of staff here; indeed, in the face of all the questions about the health board, we need to do more to support them. We thank you for your tireless service, and that goes for front-line staff, clinical staff and those who manage and who share our concerns. But our amendment today says this, to all intents and purposes: are we asking them to do the impossible? I'm speaking on behalf of Plaid Cymru today, but we all, as residents in north Wales, speak as services users, we speak as parents and children to older parents perhaps, and we speak as those who know and who are friends with dedicated staff, and we've all had a gutful of the failure of the Welsh Government to resolve the situation in north Wales.
