Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I move the move motion in the name of my colleague, Darren Millar.

The Wales Air Ambulance Charity is a fantastic service that provides vital support for the people of Wales. The charity was formed on St David's Day in 2001, and operates from bases across Wales. The staff and practitioners are highly skilled—I should say they are employed by the NHS themselves, and they deliver some of the best life-saving services in the world, and they can deliver blood transfusions and undertake emergency operations at the scene of the incident before flying the patient directly to specialist care.

The charity works across all 365 days of the year, and I want to put on record how grateful I am for the incredible service. Not often do I go to a charity event in mid Wales where the donations are not to the air ambulance charity. Proposals emerged last August in a statement from the Emergency Medical Retrieval and Transfer Service, or EMRTS, and the Welsh air ambulance charity, which set out their plans to reconfigure services, which included plans to close bases in Welshpool and Caernarfon. Along with many others, I was surprised and disappointed by this announcement. Often, I hear of a bank closure or a school closure and I'm disappointed, but I'm not surprised. On this occasion, I was surprised; I was gobsmacked that there was even a proposal being considered.
