Diolch, Llywydd, and I move today's motion in the name of my colleague, Darren Millar. As our motion outlines today, on these sides of the benches, we are proposing that this Senedd states that it has no confidence in the Welsh Government's Minister for Health and Social Services.

Usually, at this point in a debate contribution, I would say something like, 'It gives me great pleasure to move the motion today', but actually, today, I take no joy in standing here to move this motion. This is because we're having again to point out failings, and in particular, failure, in taking responsibility for poor performance and poor outcomes for the people of Wales, especially when it comes to their health and their well-being. This is what today's motion is ultimately about. It's about accountability and the role of individually elected representatives taking responsibility when it counts. I say this because we've seen, so far through this Senedd term, a regular pattern of concern being raised from Members from across the Chamber as to the performance of our health service and the ability of our hard-working NHS staff to deliver on what is needed because of the decisions of this Government.

These concerns have not been raised in this Chamber flippantly, but these concerns have been issues that people have shared with their democratically elected representatives, their MSs, and they rightfully expect these concerns to be shared with decision makers to effect change. But these concerns, far too often, have been ignored, dismissed, or approached with indifference by the Government and its Minister. Sadly, in particular for my residents in north Wales, these concerns have proven to be true, time and time again. In north Wales, we now see a health board back in special measures; a £122 million fraud investigation; a region with just 62 per cent of health service buildings deemed to be safe; major concerns with vascular services; risks to patients, and significant concerns at A&E in Ysbyty Glan Clwyd. Indeed, across Wales, we see the results of the nettle not being grasped, with one in four people currently on a waiting list for treatment, compared to one in eight in England. One in eight people are waiting over 52 weeks between referral to treatment, compared to one in 18 people in England and one in 14 in Scotland.

But here's the important bit in terms of today's debate. Who is deemed responsible for these failings? Who can residents in Wales hold responsible when they are let down? Surely, as those who believe in the power and right of democracy, it is clear that those elected to take responsibility are also those accountable when they fail to deliver on that responsibility. In this case, it is clear that the responsibility to take a grip on delivering on health services in Wales rests with the health Minister—[Interruption.] I'm not taking any interventions in the opening of a debate.
