Diolch yn fawr iawn, Llywydd, and I move this motion today, tabled in the name of my colleague Darren Millar. I'd like to start my contribution today by putting again on the record my extended thoughts and condolences to Logan Mwangi's father Ben, his family, friends, school and social network in Bridgend. There's nothing we can say or do that can take away the pain and sadness they must be feeling at this difficult time and in the future, and nothing can deflect away from the pure evil and brutality of the disgusting individuals who carried out this sustained period of abuse to Logan, ending up in his murder. I'm pleased that the correct level of justice was applied to the three perpetrators and that they are serving at His Majesty's pleasure. 

The death of a child, especially in the circumstances of Logan Mwangi, is a tragedy that we must never forget. Equally, such a tragedy requires the efforts of the Welsh Government to ensure that it can never happen again. We owe it to Logan, his family and to every child in Wales to hold a nationwide review of children's social services in Wales and ensure that our children are not let down because they live in Wales.

Wales has the UK's highest rate of looked-after children, so it's imperative that this Government shows leadership. After months of the First Minister blocking a review, the Welsh Conservatives are once again calling for him to use the tools available to him to put children first in Wales. Reviews such as these do work, and help to ensure that never again means never again. They will not stop the tragic murder of children, unfortunately, but they do ensure that lessons are learned and preventative measures can be taken earlier on to safeguard children.

In England, the review into the murders of Arthur Labinjo-Hughes and Star Hobson prioritised what went wrong, why it happened, and what can be done to prevent a repeat of such events. Eight recommendations were put forward, so the UK Government has a clear guide on where to improve. In Scotland, periodic reviews by the Care Inspectorate have been the central guide for case reviews, and regularly provide recommendations to the Scottish Government. Equally, in February, Northern Ireland launched a review of children's social care services. So, why are Welsh children being left out when every other UK administration is taking responsibility? This is vital, because the death of Logan Mwangi proved that concerns about dangers of dependency on agency workers was putting children's safety at risk, and the command structure in the NHS that leaves junior staff unable to challenge senior colleagues, and that proves to be a threat.

If this review does not go ahead, the people of Wales will want to know why, once again, the Labour Government blocks scrutiny into their management of the NHS. Power over health should mean the Government takes responsibility, but, as we have seen recently, this is not the case, and this leads me to ask: is the Government worried about what the review will find? So, finally, I urge all Members of the Senedd to support our motion without amendment today. Thank you.
