Amongst everything that is happening, the Welsh Government is in serious danger at present of losing the confidence and support of our health workers, and indeed the wider public, in its ability to manage the NHS. This is reflected in the fact that ambulance staff have now decided to take industrial action—something that I'm sure has weighed heavily on them. 

It's clear that we need to address pressures on the ambulance service at pace, because they are leading to a catastrophic impact on patients and staff. I urge the Welsh Government to redouble its efforts and to use every lever available to it to tackle this genuine crisis.
