Thank you, Chair. I have great sympathy with all of the petitioners, both Rebecca Smart and Tina Collins—I thank them for organising this petition—one of them collecting quite a significant number of signatures, I see. But this is an issue that's going to…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery
Thank you. The situation on targets, I believe, remains deeply concerning. The Welsh Government has, whether we like it or not, repeatedly failed to meet its key delivery targets in health. We've seen persistent failures in accident and emergency waiting…
