I have resisted commenting on the concerns raised to date, and I'm always wary about discussing the reform of health boards, particularly mindful of the significant disruption that reorganisation would have in the aftermath of COVID-19. Betsi is one of three health boards that are in our region, and although I do get casework from the other health boards, it has to be said the ones from Betsi are extremely serious in my view. Here's one I had only yesterday. Mr Jones said, 'My condition was urgent. After seven months of a referral by the GP for an urgent appointment, I still have heard nothing and there's no forward plan. Personally, my confidence in Betsi is zero.'

There is never a good time to reorganise. There are never the right situations or conditions for a massive review. But, reluctantly, it feels to me like this is the only time, because, as has been said, when is the right time? I've heard that time after time here in this Chamber, and that's why I've been reluctant to comment, but in representing the views and the experiences of the people that I represent—and I know you do as well, health Minister, and others do—it feels like they cannot be ignored any more.

I really do want to put on record my thanks to you, Minister, because I know you've been dedicated to this issue, and I did read your statement yesterday in detail. I do want to put on record my thanks as well to the staff at Betsi Cadwaladr—it is the staff and patients who are being let down right now. Staff have been working hard in difficult circumstances and it is important that we have a frank and honest conversation about the failings and what must be done to provide confidence to the staff and the public we all represent. Therefore, I will be supporting the Plaid Cymru amendment and the motion when amended. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
