Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 5:58 pm on 7 December 2022.
Yes, I know. I'll be very quick. I'll finish now.
I know that there are enormous challenges here in Wales, but we know what they are and we are acting on them. A review now would delay us in taking forward our plans, would divert resources, and I think would be of dubious practical value. As I said before, if I thought we would gain something, we would do it. So, it would be helpful to me, to the children of Wales, if all of us in the Chamber got behind our reforms, and got behind our front-line staff and our plans to transform children's services in Wales. Now is the time to act, not further reflect.
