To solve a crisis, you have to acknowledge that there is a crisis. It's a lesson that we always tell our children, 'Be honest; we need to know the truth', but the same is true when it comes to public services. And the truth is that we know, all of us know, from our case work, about people who have lost their lives who would have lived. The headlines are there consistently, and that's what we need to focus on, namely the people who work in the health service and those people who are dependent on the health service who have been let down.

And it's not the fault of the staff; let us make it clear. Very often, the Minister refers rightly to all of the heroic work being done by employees in our health service every day, and there are a whole host of lives saved on a daily basis. We're not denying that. Even when there are health boards that have been in special measures, that heroic work continues, but those health boards have still remained in special measures.

And that is what we are asking for today, namely an acknowledgement and recognition of what we all know, what everyone we represent knows, and what the health workers know, that there is a crisis. We do have to acknowledge that. What is disappointing is that every single seat isn't full here, or that people have joined online, so that we reflect the scale of the correspondence we receive on a daily basis on this issue, because there isn't a greater crisis facing us. I'm sure of that, because it impacts everything and it aligns with the cost-of-living crisis—of course it does.
