I usually start my contributions to debates saying, ‘It’s a pleasure to take part in this debate this afternoon’, but today, it’s not, and it’s with a heavy heart that I support this motion. I’ll share with you just a couple of reasons why I’m choosing to vote for this motion this afternoon.

I worked in Betsi Cadwaladr myself for 11 years on the front line, and I saw first-hand some of the failures on the front line from an internal perspective. That’s what tempted me to go into politics and stand for the Vale of Clwyd, because as you know, it’s got Ysbyty Glan Clwyd in the constituency, and having worked there and in north Wales all my life, I wanted to stand for office to make things better. I thought, ‘Well, I’ll stand for the Assembly’, as it was then, and now the Senedd, because I thought, ‘What I’ll do is I’ll take my transferable skills that I’ve learnt in my role in the NHS and project them to the people who make the decisions in Cardiff Bay.' That’s what I’ve tried to do so far in my short time that I’ve been here, and represent my home, which is the Vale of Clwyd. It’s always been my home. People say it’s just a constituency, but it’s more than that to me because I’ve always lived in Rhyl, Prestatyn, Denbigh, and I was born in St Asaph, so it’s more than just a constituency to me, and I care deeply about the issues that affect my people, I guess.

A lot of my inbox and things that I deal with on a day-to-day basis are complaints about the performance of the health board and Glan Clwyd Hospital waiting times, patients who have perhaps passed away due to medical negligence, and the failure to build north Denbighshire community hospital in Rhyl after 10 years of broken promises. But all of this—[Interruption.] Yes, certainly.
