Today, he's desperately trying to persuade us that he didn't knowingly mislead MPs over all those lockdown parties at No. 10. This technique, calling for a no-confidence vote, has become a desperate act of distraction by opposition parties incapable of standing up for the people of Wales. You ask for accountability; here I am today, as I am every week. And let me be clear: you won't see the same transparency and accountability in England, where 18 hospital trusts are in the equivalent of special measures, but the UK Government, from what I can tell, never brings a statement to Parliament.

In relation to Betsi, the opposition seems to be blaming us for enacting their demands. We were told, 'We need urgent change at the top.' You called for a fresh start. Well, here it is. Here is the fresh start. Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board was placed back into special measures. The chair and the independent members have been replaced. I took swift and decisive action to address the significant concerns that emerged from a series of independent reports.

But I have to say that the cry of 'toxicity', 'chaos' and 'dysfunction' at the top of an institution is really rich coming from Plaid Cymru after what we hear about their party. The confidence of local people in their health service would be helped enormously if this Chamber came behind our ambition to resolve past problems of the health board in north Wales. And don't take my word for it, for how important a united front will be; a leading nurse in Betsi contacted me recently and said,

'Thank you for standing up for me and my colleagues. The constant focus on the negative and the lack of acknowledgement of the hard work is having a significant effect on staff morale and recruitment'.

So, can we do that? Can we pull together? Can we stand with our workforce in north Wales? They don't want political posturing or empty gestures—they want our support. And I'd like to take this opportunity—
