Thank you very much, Llywydd. There is so much that I could, and I do regularly, criticise the Government for. I take my role seriously as health and care spokesperson for my party, holding Government to account on the health service, and I will continue to do that until I see that the people of Wales are getting the health and care service that they deserve. But in the spirit of the end of term, I will start, at least, on a positive note. The annual report makes reference to a programme for government that builds a nation, and I think, thanks to the Plaid Cymru contribution, that we have a programme that can bring real benefits to the people of Wales.

In that sentiment, I move the first Plaid Cymru amendment, which welcomes the co-operation agreement between Plaid Cymru and the Welsh Government on the programme for government. The annual report provides a focus on how the Government could operate preventatively, and that’s particularly relevant in terms of healthcare. But to see that preventative approach having a real impact, so that fewer people ultimately rely on health services, rely on the justice system, for example, an intention isn’t enough. You need funding, you need radical policy, too, and thanks to the co-operation agreement, preventative interventions that are crucial and radical are being implemented, such as free school meals for all primary school children, and the provision of childcare has been expanded. That’s been prioritised, at last. Yes, they’re expensive, but we will as a nation benefit from these in ensuing years when we will have given the best possible start to our youngest generation.

With only six months of the agreement behind us, there are a number of milestones that we’ve already reached—the process of introducing free school meals is in train, we’re expecting Senedd reform legislation, a package to tackle the housing crisis, which is pricing people out of their own communities, and today a consultation was launched for a fairer council tax. Every one of these policies makes its own important contribution to making a future that focuses on the well-being of the next generation. We now have to ensure that the ambitious policies are adopted at all levels of government—here, in local government, where there will be councils from the First Minister’s party and my own responsible for delivering many of these initiatives.

Of course, there are limitations placed on the Government, reflected in the second Plaid Cymru amendment. As one who’s believed in independence throughout my life, I’m always frustrated in thinking what could be. Laura McAllister was discussing railways over the weekend, when she said,
