Thank you, Presiding Officer. I must say, I'm rather disappointed with the way that this debate has gone at times, because we tabled the no-confidence motion today with a very heavy heart, not because of politics but because, frankly, of poor judgment. And we've just seen some examples of that poor judgment being exercised, unfortunately, before our very eyes this afternoon in the tone and the style of response that the health Minister addressed us in.

I have to say, I had high hopes when you were appointed as health Minister by the First Minister. I felt that it would have given us an opportunity for a change of direction in the way that the health service was being run, an opportunity for a reset, particularly in north Wales, and for a fresh approach to the way that things were being operated. But, I'm afraid that those high hopes were very quickly dashed on the rocks. Over the period since May 2021, when you have been appointed, it is a matter of regret that you haven't listened to sensible contributions from all sides of this Chamber, including on your own benches, which we believe would have made a real difference to the quality of life for staff and patients of the health service across Wales.

We still haven't had an apology from the health Minister—I listened carefully to see if I would hear one today—particularly to those people in north Wales who have been badly let down since 2015, at least, when the health board there went into special measures. You are a Minister who has denied that the NHS in Wales is in crisis, when it's blatantly obvious to everybody that it is. 'Crisis' is a word that you've said you will not use in terms of the national health service. Now, if you can't recognise a crisis, then you're never going to solve it, and it's that sort of poor judgment, frankly, that we're concerned about, and that's why we've felt that we have an obligation to table the motion today—
