Actually, most of the nurses realised that colleagues across the border in England as well were on picket lines and they knew that it was an issue right across the UK. And that's what they're fighting for—for colleagues right across the UK.

Sorry, I've forgotten where I was after taking the intervention. There is more advancing technology, more medicines available to help people, and this needs adequate funding. I heard on the Jeremy Vine show a doctor say that when he practised, just 7 per cent of the budget went on drugs and medicine; now it's 19 per cent of the budget, but the budget's not grown with it.

We all hear of many issues, but there are also good reports as well. Each week, I hear of more being done differently in the community, and this seems a good forward step. This weekend, a resident told me he'd recently undergone major heart surgery. Wrexham Maelor worked closely with Broadgreen and he's now having weekly rehabilitation and assessment through a community facility in Connah's Quay. A nurse checks his medication and he's given exercises there, and she also phones him at home. Another resident told me how he e-mailed images of a spot that wouldn't heal to his doctor. He was able to look online, telephone him, and refer him to a specialist who removed the malignant melanoma, all dealt with quickly and only with one visit to hospital—all dealt with online. So, these are good ways forward.

Positive steps forward are being made, and more nurse and allied professional training places are being offered than ever before, with new courses at Glyndŵr, in north-east Wales, as well as Bangor, and a new medical school being developed as well as a dental academy. More community and reablement beds are being offered in Wales, such as at Marleyfield in Buckley, thanks to the ICF and housing funding, and I hope that continues as well. I recently visited a well-being hub in Wrexham town centre, which incorporates a consulting room for long COVID, and I believe another one is being built in Penygroes, which will incorporate a consulting room in the community.

The NHS 111 'press 2' is to launch in north Wales today. It's a dedicated mental health advice service, offering support for people of all ages via the established NHS 111 call number. At present, up to 40 per cent of GP appointments involve mental health concerns, and with primary care services continuing to face pressures, this new service will really help and give the support that's needed. A new, unique programme to transform the well-being and mental health of children and young people in north Wales has been recognised with a national award, which is the Missing Boys project from Denbighshire county council, which provided increased school-based counselling services for young boys and men between 11 and 18 years.

So, a lot is still being done, and I do understand that there is a crisis as well, but while recognising the challenges we face we should not forget the incredible work being done by our amazing public services. But we now need proper funding from the UK Government to support them. Thank you.
