Diolch yn fawr iawn, a diolch i bawb sydd wedi cymryd rhan yn y drafodaeth y prynhawn yma.

Let me get straight into the comments made by the UKIP representative. We all know we are told that there is no problem with people staying who are currently in the UK. It’s the kind of throwaway, meaningless comment that has been such a feature of the European debate. UKIP have made a habit, it seems, of issuing fake guarantees that they have no authority whatsoever to make. In Prime Minister’s questions at Westminster today Alberto Costa, the Conservative MP, asked please that he never be put in a position where he is asked to vote on the possible deportation of his parents, who’ve been in the UK for 50 years. Theresa May turned round and said that yes, of course, she’d like to be able to give that guarantee, but even she can’t make that guarantee now. So, I’ll dismiss the comments made once again by UKIP.

I welcome the comments made by Dawn Bowden. Many of the comments here show that we have a joint venture, most of us in this Chamber, in ensuring that we make the Welsh NHS a welcoming Welsh NHS.

Dawn Bowden said that she feared that Plaid Cymru is risking failing to reach our aim by arguing for more powers, but, as we so often state here, it’s about powers with a purpose. My fear is that, in putting faith in a UK Government that even Angela Burns from the Conservative benches here has said she had little faith in in relation to NHS staffing, and some of the sounds that we’ve been hearing from UK Conservative politicians, we need to make sure that we have the best tools possible in our armoury here in Wales to defend ourselves as we move forward.

We’ve sown the seed, I think, hopefully, today of an idea for which, whilst other parties say they’re not able to sign up to it as yet, we will be able to continue to make the case as a means to give us that workforce guarantee that we will need in future. You have today shown your faith—your trust—in UK Government. I have come to the position where I do not have that faith in UK Government to take the requisite steps in order to protect our NHS workforce in future. Here is an idea that, even if it doesn’t get your support today, we will bring back, because we want Welsh Government to be able to do what it has to do to make sure that we have an NHS fit for the Welsh people in future.
