   Let me wish the Wolfscastle hotel a happy fiftieth birthday and hope it remains a thriving local business for many, many years to come. I agree with the Member that this is a budget that fails to deliver for Wales in a number of different ways. But, again, I make the case that we haven't waited for just the results of the UK budget; the announcement that was made by the finance Minister and I—she even pulled a pint for me while making that announcement—was a clear declaration that we wanted to act as quickly as we could. Having said that, we will always look for opportunities to see how we can use the powers that we have to identify those businesses that are most in need of support. We have identified this as a sector that is important to us in terms of the economy, in terms of the vibrancy of our high streets and our communities. We will always look for different ways, more ways, and push the boundaries of what we can do as a Government within the limitations that we all know arise from that budget, which did indeed let Wales down.

   First Minister, I recently visited the Wolfscastle Country Hotel and Spa, and restaurant, in my constituency, which is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary this year. It's a fantastic hospitality business that is a significant employer, supports local suppliers and helps boost the local economy. During my visit, we had a frank discussion about the significant challenges facing the hospitality sector and the need for Governments at both ends of the M4 to do more to support the sector and safeguard its future. As we've just heard, whilst some announcements were made in relation to business rates, unfortunately the UK Government's autumn budget failed to deliver the support that many hospitality businesses in Wales had hoped for. In addition to your earlier answer, can you give us an indication what the Welsh Government will be offering in its own upcoming budget to specifically support hospitality businesses like the Wolfscatle hotel so that they can continue investing in the local economy and providing vital jobs in the local community?

   If we were starting from scratch now, the M4 would stretch from the bridge over the Severn estuary to Fishguard. The motorway would be three lanes wide for the whole of its length. There would be fewer junctions, and they would be further apart. It was built piecemeal. But we're not starting from scratch, are we? So, what do we intend to do? It's not just around the Brynglas tunnels that we have problems on the M4. For those of us coming in from the west, we have problems around Port Talbot. We have problems around the junction going on to the Heads of Valleys, and then we all join—and I'm sure, if you're driving here, Presiding Officer, you do—coming off the M4 at junction 33. We have all these traffic jams that affect us. So, I'm asking the Welsh Government: why do we always think we're unique? Why do we think that no other country has ever dealt with these sorts of problems? It's happening all the time.

   Diolch, Cabinet Minister. I'm concerned about the low level of confidence that parents, staff and governors in Pembrokeshire have told me that they have in the council involving them meaningfully in big decisions about the future of their schools. Examples include but are not limited to church schools. I wrote to the council back in September around decisions on the future of Cilgerran school, and I'm glad this is now resolved. But, Cabinet Minister, public trust and confidence is easily lost. As Pembrokeshire County Council now consults on proposals to close Tenby Church in Wales VC Primary School and neighbouring Greenhill school, replacing them with a new three-to-19 community school, can the Cabinet Minister assure us that she expects these decisions to be based on the meaningful involvement of parents and the wider community, including open and transparent information on all options available?

   Diolch. I welcome the Ireland-Wales shared statement 2030, committing our nations to strengthening cultural partnerships and artistic exchange. In my constituency, Other Voices Cardigan has become one of the most vibrant and successful examples of that ambition. Since 2019, it has brought together Welsh and Irish artists, audiences and communities, thanks to support from the Welsh Government, the Irish Government and broadcasters. The festival has delivered significant economic benefits for Aberteifi, increased numbers visiting from Ireland to west Wales, and created lasting creative partnerships between musicians from both countries. Sadly, a late decision to reduce funding this year means the festival isn't taking place. So, a multi-year funding agreement is now vital to enable the festival to continue to plan for future years. So, will the First Minister explore this potential with his Irish counterparts to help secure the long-term future of Other Voices Cardigan and strengthen Wales-Ireland relations for years to come?

    Environmental stewardship should be common ground across this Chamber, not because the challenges are easy, but because they affect every community in Wales. As a member of the climate change committee, I'm acutely aware of the scale of those challenges. Nearly one in five assessed species in Wales is now threatened with extinction, and species abundance has fallen by around 20 per cent in a generation. In Ceredigion Penfro, those pressures are felt in the rivers, peatlands and coastal habitats that define our communities. We're fortunate to be home to the Dyfi UNESCO biosphere, Cardigan Bay and some of Wales's most important marine and terrestrial wildlife habitats. They're not only environmental assets, they're economic assets too.

    For too many people across Wales, opening the annual council tax bill is something they absolutely dread. Families are struggling with the cost of living. They're working hard to pay their mortgages whilst grappling with energy bills and weekly shopping, yet they're also being asked to find more and more money every year to pay their council tax. In my constituency of Caerdydd Ffynnon Taf, a standard band D bill in Cardiff has risen from around £1,637 in 2022-23 to over £2,000 this year—an increase of almost 23 per cent. And it's not just my constituency. Let us look at the figures elsewhere. In 2025-26, Wrexham and Flintshire increased council tax by 9.5 per cent, Pembrokeshire by 9.35 per cent and Ceredigion by 9.3 per cent. In Conwy, residents have faced successive increases of 9.67 per cent, 8.95 per cent and a further 6.5 per cent this year. And on Ynys Môn, the council's band D charge has risen more than 31 per cent since 2022. On average, that's over £425 more each year added to their council tax bill. Staggering. Yet, the Plaid Cymru-led council on Ynys Môn reported a budget underspend, totalling over £8 million across the last three financial years, and holds £19 million in general reserves. Surely, it is reasonable to ask whether residents were charged more than was necessary.

Holyhead, Fishguard and Pembroke are essential to the Welsh economy and our trading relationship with Ireland. The closure of Holyhead in December 2024 demonstrated how vulnerable those connections can be. The A55 Menai crossings, the A40 and the A477 are vital routes for businesses, freight operators and communities that depend on them. Any prolonged disruption has serious economic consequences. Your Irish sea taskforce has already recognised these concerns, and an update has already been promised this autumn.

Year on year, we hear of increased demand and an uptick in pressure on A&E and wards, yet too many patients and staff continue to face challenges that are becoming increasingly difficult. Just this Sunday, Glangwili, Bronglais and Withybush put out a statement saying they were severely under pressure in their A&Es, so this is nothing unusual to them. It's a fact that the health and social care staff are carrying immense constraint.

    Our major ferry ports—Holyhead, Fishguard and Pembroke Dock—provide vital international connections for people and goods. The prolonged disruption at Holyhead in December 2024 demonstrated how important our ports are to communities, businesses and the wider Welsh economy. It also showed how quickly disruption at one strategic gateway can have wider consequences. The Irish sea taskforce was established in response, to consider how a similar incident could be avoided and how partners should respond if one occurred at any Welsh port. I intend to publish a six-month update on its recommendations this autumn.

    Investment is also strengthening port resilience. Stena Line has committed significant investment in infrastructure at Holyhead and Fishguard to improve resilience, connectivity and future capacity. During my recent visit to Ireland, I met Minister Canney and key stakeholders to discuss resilience and co-operation across these vital routes. I have also asked officials to prepare a joint exercise based on the scenario of an unforeseen Welsh port closure.

    Thank you for that. I think that's an important point that we haven't covered so far this afternoon. I've mentioned the flood forum, of course, which has a very specific focus on working with people and communities, particularly those who are at risk and who maybe have experienced historic incidents of flooding, and that will be supported by this Government. It is a programme for government commitment, a manifesto commitment of ours, and we will deliver it, and work has already started on making that happen. I took a great deal of inspiration from the visit I mentioned in my statement to Milford Haven, where we saw that flooding isn't just about damage to your property or losing possessions. As horrible as that is and how harrowing the physical damage is, the mental health impacts can last for much longer. And I was struck, as I'm sure many Members here who've seen that kind of experience close up are, by how the community can rally around very often and continue to support each other long after the flooding has receded. But we are committed to establishing that independent flood forum, which will be there to try and stimulate and support some of those less formal networks, if you like, that are so critical when communities are in their hour of need.

    Cabinet Minister, as your statement acknowledges, flooding is a problem for a number of communities in Ceredigion Penfro, and I'm pleased that your visit to Milford Haven showed how important that matter is. As I'm sure you're aware, flooding at Gumfreston in south Pembrokeshire has caused road closures, disruption and lengthy diversions for local communities, businesses and visitors. This was the subject of a Senedd petition calling for a long-term solution, which attracted more than 3,400 signatures. It was led by Councillor Rhys Jordan, who continues to press for the long-term improvements that local residents have been asking for. I understand that Natural Resources Wales is undertaking further appraisal work on flood mitigation options for the River Ritec catchment, but this has been an issue for the local community for some time and they want to see some more progress, as you would expect. I appreciate that you might not be able to give me specific details today, but I would be grateful if you could look at this particular issue and commit to bringing together Natural Resources Wales, Pembrokeshire County Council and Welsh Government officials once the appraisal work is complete so that a clear timetable for progress can be agreed and the necessary funding arrangements put in place so that we can finally move forward with a solution as soon as possible.

    When we talk about ports, we should remember that not all Welsh ports play the same role. For Pembrokeshire, Milford Haven is not just a local asset, it is nationally significant infrastructure. In 2024, it handled almost 33 million tonnes of freight and has since become the UK's third largest port by tonnage. It is also responsible for handling the overwhelming majority of liquefied natural gas entering the United Kingdom. This means the Milford Haven port authority is not only supporting jobs and businesses across Pembrokeshire, it is helping to keep the lights on and homes heated across Wales and the wider UK. But strong ports cannot exist in isolation, particularly in rural Wales; they rely on resilient transport links and long-term industrial investment. The question for the Government is not whether Welsh ports are important; the evidence clearly shows they are. The question is whether the Government is turning its commitments on port resilience and economic growth into real investment that allows ports such as Milford Haven to compete, grow and create high-quality jobs for future generations. Diolch.

    Welsh ports have a rich sense of history—sorry, I'm going to go to the history now, I've got to go to it—have a rich sense of history and a social and cultural connection to their local communities and surrounding hinterland. I had the pleasure of learning about the connection ports have to their communities during my visit to Fishguard and Rosslare, where they were celebrating the first sea crossing from Fishguard to Rosslare that took place on 30 August 1906. This year marks the hundred and twentieth anniversary of this vital link between Ireland and Wales, connecting generations of families, holidaymakers, businesses and communities on both sides of the Irish sea. It was in 1906 that a newly built harbour and railway opened in Abergwaun, which also brought transatlantic liners to the port, and is still from where Stena Line runs its passenger service to Rosslare.

    I recently toured Rosslare port's impressive operations, which are completely different to those that were in place 126 years ago. Rosslare Europort is today a key infrastructure hub for transportation from Ireland to Europe and the UK. Post Brexit, Rosslare has experienced significant growth, particularly in freight traffic and direct ferry services to Europe. Weekly sailings to Europe increased more than sixfold. Welsh ports were not so fortunate. Holyhead and Fishguard ports saw a 30 per cent drop in traffic in 2021, according to their operator, Stena Line.

    Holyhead and our other major west coast ferry ports, Fishguard and Pembroke Dock, provide vital international connectivity for goods and people. Despite the adverse impacts of Brexit on the volume of freight using the UK's land bridge between Ireland and the rest of the EU, these ports remain essential to the UK and Irish logistics sector. The economic importance of these Irish sea links were highlighted in December 2024, with the prolonged disruption at Holyhead having a significant impact on businesses on both sides of the water. In response to this, the Irish sea taskforce was created to examine what could be done to avoid a repeat scenario and respond effectively if similar events ever happened again at any Welsh port. I intend to publish a six-month update to the Irish sea taskforce recommendations this autumn.

    Following this and other similar incidents, the Holyhead Port Authority, Stena Line, has committed to a multi-million pound port infrastructure investment in the berths to strengthen the long-term resilience of this port and modernise its infrastructure for the future. Separately, Stena Line has invested a further £20 million into a new linkspan at Fishguard port, which will strengthen future resilience and connectivity and enhance opportunities for them to increase their roll-on, roll-off traffic and expand their cruise ship offering at the port.

    Cruise tourism plays a significant role in our maritime economy and, for many visitors, our ports provide their first welcome to Wales. Cruise Wales is a partnership between Welsh Government, our six cruise ports, Welsh tourist destinations and many outside stakeholders. We market six cruise ports in Wales, which are Cardiff, Swansea, Pembroke, Milford Haven, Fishguard and Holyhead. Cruise Wales is an established global brand attracting new cruise lines to Wales. Our ports continue to support a thriving cruise sector. In 2026, 88 cruise calls are scheduled at Welsh ports, bringing over 73,500 passengers and 35,000 crew. This is expected to generate circa £7.6 million in visitor spending, providing a valuable boost to local economies across Wales.

    Another example of how important port infrastructure is to our economy is the recently agreed long-term lease and commercial agreement between Associated British Ports and Valero at the port of Cardiff, securing critical supply and storage solutions for liquid fuels across south Wales. The agreement underpins the ongoing operation of Valero's 12-acre liquid fuels terminal at Roath Dock, the largest such facility at the port of Cardiff, and represents a commitment to the future of the port and the Wales energy supply chain. The deal safeguards skilled jobs on site and supports the reliable supply of fuel for households, businesses, airports and commercial fleets across the south of the country. It also takes thousands of HGVs off the road network by using coastal shipping routes to link Cardiff to Valero's Pembroke refinery at Milford Haven, the UK's leading energy port.

It's a perfect route for that, but currently, it's not being chosen as the route of choice, and part of that is about providing the facilities. At the moment, we have freight drivers who are having to park in car parks and lay-bys, and it's wholly inappropriate.

You're giving Wales a raw deal by failing to grow our economy. Unemployment is up, and not a week goes by without a negative story of businesses in Wales shutting up shop and cutting jobs. And the education sector is in such a dire state that teaching unions are threatening industrial action against this Government. What have you done to turn the dire situation around? Nothing. Instead of making substantive cuts to business taxes and energy costs by scrapping net stupid zero, you're marching for separatism in Aberystwyth. Your programme for government was thin and without measurable targets. When are you going to ditch the dodgy ideology and start putting people first? Because so far, all you've done is make things worse.

    Professor Prendergast will be remunerated at a day rate of £815 for two days per week over an 18-month period. This is inclusive of VAT and estimated costs for his time and expenses. Professor Prendergast will be giving a substantial amount of time to this work, averaging 2 days a week over the next 18 months.

    This reflects Professor Prendergast’s commitment to ensuring the highest possible quality of output from this review and that it is delivered within the timescale that we have outlined in the terms of reference. This also reflects the fact that the Review of Higher Education is of significant strategic importance and may result in recommendations that substantially reshape the higher education sector in Wales, including its future governance, management and funding arrangements.

    Since being elected, I have heard again and again constituents' concerns about services being downgraded in Withybush and ever greater centralisation, particularly towards the outdated Glangwili Hospital. I'd like to thank the Save Withybush Campaign for raising these issues. A big concern for me is the low level of trust between Hywel Dda and communities. This has not helped when decisions are delayed. Residents in Pembrokeshire deserve state-of-the-art facilities in hospital and in primary care, but, under previous Governments, a new hospital was discussed for 20 years with no decision made. This cripples planning, and I hope this decision can finally be made with urgency. But to build trust and design better services, Hywel Dda needs to start genuinely involving communities and staff in co-designing solutions.

    And to close, I want to welcome the investments that are being made in Withybush, as Claire did, including the new £0.75 million children's out-patient facility, the Puffin centre, due to open in spring 2027. Diolch.

    Thank you, Claire, for bringing forward this important debate. I know how close Withybush is to Claire's heart, but this is an issue that should unite every corner of this Chamber, because access to healthcare should never depend on where in Wales you live.

    For people living in rural Wales, distance is not just an inconvenience. When you are frightened, in pain, in labour or facing a medical emergency, distance can become a clinical reality. A hospital like Withybush is therefore more than bricks and mortar; it is reassurance. It's the knowledge that, when something goes wrong, skilled professionals and essential care are within reach. And we must remember the staff too: the doctors, the nurses, the paramedics, the support teams, who understand these communities and have built their lives around serving them. People living in rural Wales should not have to accept poorer access to healthcare simply because of their postcode. We hear repeatedly about bringing care closer to home. Well, protecting viable local hospital services is precisely what 'closer to home' should mean. Withybush matters because rural communities matter, and access to timely, safe healthcare must never become the privilege of geography.

    For older people living across Ceredigion Penfro, access to healthcare must not become a postcode lottery. At the last census, more than a quarter of Pembrokeshire residents were aged 65 or over. For someone who no longer drives, the distance can mean an expensive taxi fare, dependence on relatives, or maybe not even getting there at all. In an emergency, distance matters. Hywel Dda's 2023 travel survey recorded 38 minutes from Withybush to Glangwili, even with lights and sirens. Specialist care matters; so does reaching it safely. I support Claire's call to protect Withybush. Safe transfers, affordable transport and care closer to home must be built into any changes from the outset. Living in west Wales should never mean being left further from care, with our constituents financially victimised because of where they live. Diolch yn fawr.

    …

    I want to begin today by directly speaking to the people of Pembrokeshire who are genuinely worried about the future of Withybush Hospital. Because they are worried. They have watched services change, they have watched services move, and now they are asking one very simple question: what will be left at Withybush when we need it most? This question deserves an answer, because, when someone is seriously ill, when someone has a stroke, or when someone needs emergency surgery, minutes matter and, in rural Wales, distance matters too.

    So, I want to be absolutely clear today: Withybush cannot simply become a place where patients are assessed before being sent somewhere else. It must retain meaningful emergency and urgent healthcare for people of Pembrokeshire. But I also want to be clear about something else. I do not believe that centralising all our services is the answer. Since becoming a Member of this Senedd, I have visited the health board on numerous occasions, I have spoken to doctors, nurses, consultants and other front-line staff, and those conversations have allowed me to see both sides of this argument.

    Both sides of this debate matter, but what isn't acceptable is leaving patients, staff and entire communities in the dark about what their healthcare will look like in the future. Take stroke services, for instance. I want to make my position clear today—I am talking about Withybush. I am not calling in this debate for stroke rehabilitation provision at Bronglais to be removed. Bronglais serves another large rural population and its importance must be recognised individually. My concern today is what happens to patients in Pembrokeshire. The current preferred model will ultimately make Withybush a treat-and-transfer site for stroke, with a 24-hour specialist acute stroke unit at Glangwili Hospital. I understand the clinical argument for bringing specialist expertise together, but I also expect one very important commitment to be honoured. Withybush must not become a treat-and-transfer before that 24-hour specialist stroke unit provision at Glangwili is actually commissioned. Don't remove the existing service and then promise a replacement later: build it, staff it, make sure it works, then make the change. Because patients cannot be left in a gap between one service disappearing and another becoming operational. And even where specialist acute stroke treatment is concentrated, I want us to look seriously at what rehabilitation can be provided closer to home. Because rehabilitation can take weeks, sometimes months, and families matter during recovery. And we should bring people back closer to their communities as soon as it is clinically safe to do so.

    The same concerns exist around emergency general surgery. Hywel Dda has decided that, under its future model, patients at Withybush requiring an emergency operation would be transferred to Glangwili. The health board itself has acknowledged that transfers could increase the likelihood of delays in treatment. So, I want to know how quickly will that patient be transferred? Will an ambulance be available? What happens when ambulances are already under enormous pressure? What happens at 2 o'clock in the morning? Emergency care has to work on the worst day, not just the best.

    And then there are our children. Families in Pembrokeshire have already experienced the loss of 24-hour in-patient paediatric services at Withybush Hospital. For a parent with a seriously ill child, particularly late at night, Carmarthen can feel a very long way from home. But there is also something positive happening here. Hywel Dda have recently announced a £750,000 investment in a new, dedicated children's facility at Withybush, including a rapid-access clinic. I welcome that, because it demonstrates the very point I'm making today: just because the most specialist elements of care are being provided elsewhere does not mean everything has to follow. We can still build strong local services, and there are already examples at Withybush showing us what can be achieved. I visited the acute frailty unit, and I was enormously impressed by what I saw. Instead of automatically admitting frail and elderly patients into hospital, they can be assessed, treated and, where appropriate, supported back into their own homes or community services. That prevents unnecessary admissions, it helps protect hospital beds and, most importantly, it can provide better care for that patient. The same applies to same-day emergency care. GP and other healthcare professionals can refer patients into this service, where they can be assessed and treated without automatically going through A&E and being admitted. That is the sort of healthcare we should be expanding on.

42. 2026-09-30 · Speech · Claire Archibald, Member for Ceredigion Penfro · Health & Social Care

    And this brings me to something I feel very strongly about, which is social care. Because the pressures faced in Withybush do not stop at the door. We have the best doctors and nurses in the world, but if somebody is medically ready to leave that hospital and support isn't available in the community that person cannot simply go home. And while that person waits, a hospital bed remains occupied, another patient is waiting in A&E and an ambulance may be waiting outside, and the pressure moves backwards like a vicious circle. Health and social care cannot continue to operate as though they are separate worlds. We need health boards, councils, GPs, community nursing, care homes, domiciliary care and the third sector working around that patient as one joined-up system.

    And we must include unpaid carers in that conversation, because, far too often, when we say that somebody can be cared for at home, there is a family member behind that sentence—a husband, a wife, a son, a daughter; someone who may suddenly find themselves providing hours of care every day. We cannot solve pressures on hospital beds by simply transferring that pressure onto families. If somebody is going home, care must be waiting for them, the family must know what is happening and unpaid carers must be properly supported. That isn't separate from protecting Withybush Hospital; it's part of protecting Withybush Hospital. Because the answer to pressure on hospital beds cannot simply be fewer hospital beds. We need to prevent unnecessary admissions to make sure they're ready to leave and can do safely.

    I also want Withybush to have a stronger future in cancer care and palliative care. For someone living in Pembrokeshire, travelling for cancer treatment isn't necessarily an appointment of an hour or two. So, let's look at what we can deliver locally safely: diagnostics, follow-up care, cancer treatment where appropriate, GP premises, community facilities and, working properly with organisations such as Macmillan and our wider third sector, bring healthcare to people wherever we safely can instead of continually expecting sick people to travel long distances.

    And that brings me to transport. You cannot have an honest conversation about centralising healthcare in rural Wales without talking about how people are actually going to get there. You cannot design healthcare for Pembrokeshire as though Pembrokeshire has the transport network of Cardiff. It doesn't. I am seeking discussions with Transport for Wales about improving connections involving Withybush and Carmarthenshire. But transport cannot be an afterthought. If you move healthcare, you must first show us how the patient is going to reach it.

    And that brings me to money and workforce. We cannot keep putting more money into the same structures if patient outcomes and access do not improve. Administration is important. Hospitals cannot function without good administrative staff. But administration supports healthcare; front-line staff deliver it. So, when finances are under enormous pressure, we have to be brave enough to look at the structure itself. Are there unnecessary layers of management? Are roles being duplicated? Could services work differently? Could management structures be simplified? And could those savings be redirected towards the nurses, doctors, healthcare support workers, therapists, carers and other front-line professionals patients actually need? That isn't an attack on NHS managers; it's about making sure that as much of every pound as possible reaches patient care. And these concerns are not mine alone. Thousands of people have signed a Senedd petition raising concerns about healthcare provision at Withybush. The Petitions Committee has now agreed that those concerns deserve further scrutiny, including further engagement with the Health and Social Care Committee. A petition on its own will not decide the future of Withybush, but, when thousands of people take the time to put their names to one, we should pay attention. And I am paying attention. I have listened to the residents, I have spoken to the staff, I have visited Withybush, I have spoken directly with the health board, and, as a member of the Health and Social Care Committee, I will continue to scrutinise the decisions being made, because I don't want the story of Withybush to be one of managed decline. 

    I want us to protect what works, change what doesn't, specialise where clinical evidence generally shows we need to specialise, but localise wherever we safely can, keep emergency and urgent care strong, build on same-day emergency care and frailty, bring rehabilitation closer to home, strengthen cancer and palliative care, join healthcare and social care together, support our unpaid carers, and make transport part of healthcare planning, not an afterthought. And to the doctors, nurses, healthcare support workers, therapists, porters, cleaners, administrative staff, ambulance crews, and to everyone else working at Withybush Hospital, this debate is not an attack on you. It is quite the opposite. You are the people holding these services together. I used to be one of them, and you deserve to know that the hospital you work in has a future.

    So, my message today is simple: Withybush cannot simply become a hospital where more and more patients are assessed and then sent somewhere else. The people of Pembrokeshire deserve safe, specialist care, but they also deserve local care. They deserve honesty. They deserve replacements to be ready before existing services disappear. Above all, they deserve something they have been asking for for far too long: a clear, credible, secure future for the hospital. Diolch, Lywydd.

    It gives me great pleasure to take part in this afternoon's debate and to highlight the contribution being made by the defence sector in west Wales. Now, our motion recognises the importance of the defence sector, particularly during this time of geopolitical uncertainty. In Ceredigion Penfro, and contrary to the previous speaker, we are proud of our military heritage, proud of the men and women who serve our country, and proud of the role our communities continue to play in supporting our armed forces and the wider defence industry.

    The Ministry of Defence maintains a substantial operational and testing presence in west Wales, and this, of course, includes the MOD Aberporth range, located near Cardigan, which provides a vast and secure safety area for the testing and evaluation of air-launched weapons and uncrewed aerial systems, ensuring that these are safe, effective and fit for operational use. As I understand it, the range employs around 200 skilled staff and makes a significant contribution to the local economy. The facility supports a wider supply chain of local businesses, contractors and service providers, which, of course, helps to sustain jobs and investment across the region. These are important roles that provide career opportunities and help retain skilled workers in west Wales. MOD Aberporth has established itself as a centre of excellence in aerospace and defence innovation, particularly in the rapidly developing field of uncrewed and autonomous systems. And I believe this supports innovation, research and technological advancement, which, in turn, strengthens our national defence.

    Of course, the presence of the defence sector in west Wales is not limited to Aberporth. Cawdor barracks in Brawdy has long been an important part of the region's military landscape and also makes a significant contribution to both our national security and, indeed, to the local economy. The barracks have provided employment opportunities for military personnel, civilian staff and local contractors, and the service families are a cherished part of the local community. There has been some discussion around the future of the barracks, with proposals to develop it as the UK's host site for the deep space advanced radar capability programme, known as DARC. This would be the UK's first dedicated military space tracking radar system and it would help the UK contribute towards space security by providing greater levels of UK-sourced data for the National Space Operations Centre.

    The final sub-point in our motion calls on the Welsh Government to work with the UK Government to explore opportunities to strengthen investment in the defence sector here in Wales. I also want to make a brief point about Milford Haven, and the announcement last year that it was identified by the UK Government as one of 13 potential sites for new munitions and energetics factories. We are now waiting for further details from the UK Government on the next steps in that selection process, and whether the Milford Haven site will ultimately be chosen. But the fact that it has been shortlisted as a potential site reiterates the area's strategic importance.

    At a time when strengthening the resilience of our defence supply chains is becoming increasingly important, it is encouraging to see west Wales being recognised for the role it can play in bolstering our defence. Of course, it would be remiss of me not to also highlight the importance of the Castlemartin training area and firing range, which is regularly used for live firing and tactical battle group-level exercises that are an essential part of ensuring our soldiers are prepared for all combat eventualities.

    My constituency has a strong military history. Pembroke Dock's naval dockyard was one of the most important shipbuilding sites in Britain during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Angle airfield was a fighter station belonging to No. 10 Group Fighter Command, and a succession of squadrons passed through Angle, flying Supermarine Spitfires, Westland Whirlwinds and Hawker Hurricanes. St David's, Britain's smallest city, was a submarine listening post in world war one and a radar station in world war two. That's just a few examples, but there are many, many more. We in west Wales are proud of our contribution to our defence sector and to our armed forces, and we will continue to make an important contribution in the future. So, I urge Members to support our motion.

    Protecting services at Withybush Hospital and ensuring it has the resources needed to serve the people of Pembrokeshire has been one of my foremost priorities since I was first elected to this place in 2007. I know that long-standing Members will be aware that I've challenged proposals that centralised or downgraded services at Withybush Hospital, and I've tabled questions, led debates, attended public meetings, supported local campaigns, presented petitions and worked alongside residents to make their voices heard here at the Senedd.

    And so, I echo some of the points that the Member has already made in this debate about the importance of protecting Withybush Hospital, and I urge this Government to work with us and work with local residents to protect the future of Withybush Hospital. The people of Pembrokeshire deserve nothing less.

    …

    As I've said before, when clinical experts tell us how we can improve outcomes, make services safer and more resilient and deliver better care for patients, it's our duty to listen. Ever since I was assigned the health portfolio, I've been of the view that health policy design has to be clinically led first and foremost, and that is precisely the ethos I have now sought to embed as a Government Minister. However, much of today's debate in reality is about the decisions taken by Hywel Dda University Health Board through its clinical services plan, and I want to address directly the concerns of communities in Ceredigion Penfro.

    I recognise the strength of feeling these decisions have generated and I understand why many people are protective of Withybush Hospital. People want reassurance that services will remain accessible. They want confidence that decisions are being taken in the interests of patients, and I recognise that not everyone will agree with every decision that has been taken. That's entirely understandable. But it is important to recognise that the health board followed a detailed process informed by clinical evidence and feedback from thousands of patients, staff, stakeholders and members of the public. 

    Those realities can't simply be ignored because they're politically inconvenient. The story isn't simply one of services being removed. The clinical services plan also includes confirmation of the important role Withybush will continue to play through significant investment and enhancement of services. The hospital will see expanded orthopaedic services, helping more people access treatment more quickly. It will also become a key site for planned diagnostics and weekday interventional radiology, strengthening its role in diagnosis and supporting cancer care. And only recently, as was mentioned earlier, the health board announced a £750,000 investment in a new Puffin paediatric facility to improve out-patient services for children and young people.

    Diolch, Cabinet Minister. A 2023 report by the Bevan Foundation found that Ceredigion ranks second in child poverty levels across Wales, with Pembrokeshire not far behind. Crisis has also highlighted that many families in my constituency face significant gaps between their incomes and essential living costs, leaving them at greater risk of poverty and financial hardship.

    Whilst child poverty exists across Wales, it's often less visible in rural and coastal constituencies. One example in my constituency is Aberporth, a beautiful and vibrant village that many Members might know as a holiday destination, but also where one in four children live in poverty. In these communities, community action can make a real difference to people's lives—for example, the incredible range of activities that are run from the renovated Aberporth village hall that provide not just practical support, but friendships and social support that are invaluable to people.

    Trefnydd, I'd like to request a statement from the Welsh Government regarding the impact of rising energy and fuel costs on Welsh households and businesses. According to RAC Fuel Watch, the average price of diesel has now reached around £2 per litre, and the average price of petrol is around £1.74 per litre. In rural constituencies like Ceredigion Penfro, the increase in fuel prices has a particularly big knock-on effect, as many people have little choice but to rely on their vehicles to access work, healthcare and essential services. These increases are placing significant pressure on families and businesses at a time when many are already struggling with the rising cost of living, and it also has serious consequences for businesses, hauliers and farmers, by squeezing what are already very tight margins.

    First Minister, Haverfordwest's former Masonic hall has been recently brought back into use following years of closure, and will again be a hub for live music, entertainment and creative talent, showcasing the vital role that grass-roots music venues play in supporting young artists, strengthening communities and boosting local economies. I'm sure you'll agree with me that this project has a great opportunity to strengthen Pembrokeshire's live music scene and create new opportunities for the next generation of local performers. So, First Minister, given the challenges that many towns face with vacant properties and declining town centres, what steps is the Welsh Government taking to incentivise projects like this that bring old buildings back into use, especially if they are brought back as independent and grass-roots music venues?

    When I looked at the scenes on the tv over the weekend, I saw YesCymru claiming that 8,000 people were in attendance at the rally in Aberystwyth—that's a figure, by the way, that I take with a large dose of Halen Môn salt; I'm not really sure it was true. But even if I were to accept that number, do you know the figures that are in my mind?

First Minister, RAF Valley is one of the biggest employers on Ynys Môn, as you know, providing well over 1,000 jobs on the island. The humming of those jets flying overhead is the sound of freedom. In Wales, we are proud to play our part in the defence of the United Kingdom. This brings us greater national security and high-quality, high-skill jobs. I'm grateful to the brave veterans on these benches that I'm lucky to sit alongside as well. And I recognise the sacrifices made because both my brothers are currently serving in the armed forces. This weekend, you spoke at an independence rally in Aberystwyth. You've signed an agreement with separatists, and your programme for government seeks the power to hold a referendum. If you achieve your goal of ripping Wales out of the United Kingdom, what will happen to the people who work at RAF Valley, or any other military sites across Wales, for that matter?

    And at every one of those moments, Wales was there. Wales has been at the centre of British history for generations. In 1485, Henry Tudor, a Welshman born in Pembroke castle, landed near Milford Haven. He marched through Wales, gathering men to his banner, the Red Dragon, and he took the crown at Bosworth. His granddaughter Queen Elizabeth I began the British empire, which was such a force for good in the world. Sorry, Carrie. Welsh minds then went on to shape the modern world. William Grove from Swansea invented the fuel cell in 1842, a technology the world is still using today.

    So, that is not an argument that Wales could not trade with England if it became independent, clearly it could, but it does demonstrate the sheer scale of the economic relationship that already exists in the United Kingdom. And that relationship operates with a common currency, a common monetary system and no exchange rate between Wales and England. We use sterling. Monetary policy is set through the Bank of England of the United Kingdom as a whole. A business, say, in Tenby buying goods from Birmingham does not have to think about currency conversions. A worker living in Powys and earning a salary across the border doesn't have to think about exchange rates. A pension does not change currency when somebody moves from Colwyn Bay to Chester. These things are easily taken for granted precisely because they happen every day.

    Minister, thank you for your response. Yesterday, you told this Chamber that new defence-related investment decisions should, where possible, wait for your ethical defence investment framework. Yet Ceredigion Penfro should be benefiting directly from the £50 million defence growth deal, with Ministry of Defence Aberporth offering skilled jobs, investment and opportunities for local business.

And if not, can you guarantee that not one job or contract, and not one pound of investment in Ceredigion Penfro will be lost or delayed as a result? West Wales needs certainty and investment now, not another framework standing in the way. Diolch.

I'm regularly contacted by constituents from across Ceredigion Penfro who express concerns about the frequency, reliability and overall availability of rail services in the region. They want to see more regular and dependable train services operating across all rail lines in west Wales throughout the week, because for too long west Wales has not received the level of attention it deserves when it comes to rail connectivity and service delivery, and I believe there should be a review of rail provision in the region to assess whether current services are meeting the needs of local communities, and indeed to identify where improvements are required.

    First Minister, I believe that the Welsh Government's healthcare priorities for Ceredigion Penfro must be to protect essential health services at its hospitals so that patients do not have to travel further afield for treatment. Now, over the years, my constituents have seen health services centralised and moved further away by the local health board, despite clear public opposition to these changes. And there has been little, if any, intervention or challenge from a Welsh Government over the last 27 years. Now, following the change of Government in May, there was a sense of hope for my constituents that their views would be heard and the health board stopped, and, so far, that has not been the case. So, First Minister, what threshold must be crossed before the Welsh Government is prepared to intervene and prevent Hywel Dda University Health Board from further downgrading services in west Wales?

We need to make sure that we have equitable healthcare, but it does mean that a different approach is needed. I'm really interested in the work that is developing—already has begun—into creating a centre of excellence on the delivery of rural healthcare in Bronglais Hospital, which could benefit all parts of Wales, not just Ceredigion Penfro.

    The programme for government commitment is clear. We want to ensure that integrated care is delivered closer to home, with prevention in particular at its core, to support earlier diagnosis, reduce admissions and delays in discharge. We have many ideas on how, in general, the delivery can be improved in rural areas, but health officials, I know, are engaging with the health board and Pembrokeshire County Council specifically on the development of that integrated centre in Fishguard.

    First Minister, I'd like to agree that protecting services at Bronglais and Withybush hospitals remains vital for communities across Ceredigion Penfro. However, in rural areas, we also need innovative ways of bringing healthcare closer to people's homes. Integrated care centres in Cardigan and Aberaeron show what can be achieved when we bring services together, and, again, bring them closer to people, taking the pressure off hospitals. Having recently visited GP services in Fishguard, I know that there is strong local support for a similar approach there. Indeed, my colleague Elin Jones has previously worked with local councillors to make the case for an integrated care centre for Fishguard. So, will the Welsh Government commit to working with Hywel Dda University Health Board and local communities to explore how towns such as Fishguard could benefit from integrated care facilities, ensuring rural communities are not left behind as healthcare services evolve?

    Cabinet Minister, yesterday's announcement of a 30 per cent cut in business rates for some of the smallest hospitality accommodation and leisure venues is certainly a welcome step forward. However, there is plenty more that the Welsh Government can do to support the tourism industry in Ceredigion Penfro, including reducing the devastating 182-day occupancy threshold for self-catering businesses. Now, I appreciate that the Welsh Government's consulting on this, but the consultation states that there will be a limit to the extent of any reduction in the threshold, arguing that a substantial decrease in the threshold could incentivise an oversupply of self-catering properties. In light of this, can you clarify what the Welsh Government considers to be the minimum viable occupancy threshold? And in the interests of transparency, will you commit to publishing the evidence underpinning that position, so that business owners can understand the parameters that the Welsh Government is considering in this important consultation?

We've had well-rehearsed arguments about PISA results at secondary level, but at a higher education level, I'll point to some evidence from around the world. We know that, for example, in terms of the top 100 universities, we have between nine and 14 from England, two in Scotland, with one just outside of the top 100, but alas none in Wales, and none close to being in the top 100 in Wales. Our top university comes in just above 200. Professor Prendergast has successfully run a top 100 university in Ireland, and I'm wondering whether you'd be prepared to ask this group to look at a strategy for creating a top 100 university in Wales, because we should have a top 100 university in Wales, and we need a top 100 university in Wales.

    At Lower Town Fishguard on the A487, officials met with local stakeholders and elected representatives to review longstanding congestion and pedestrian safety concerns. Following that engagement, funding has been identified to investigate technology-based options for monitoring vehicle movements through the constrained section of road. This work will provide robust evidence on traffic flows, vehicle types and the causes of blockages, helping to inform future decisions on enforcement, traffic management and longer-term interventions.

    Welsh Government is also undertaking feasibility work into potential measures to improve conditions at Lower Town Fishguard, including assessment of a virtual footway on the existing bridge.

    I want to begin by recognising the profound impact, as others have done in this Chamber, that bovine TB continues to have on farming families and on rural communities across Wales. It impacts on people and animal welfare alike. For too many of my constituents in Ceredigion Penfro, this is a daily reality. Time and again, farmers have spoken to me about the emotional and financial strain that bovine TB places on their businesses and their families. Only last week, one constituent told me that they had been forced to cull around 600 cattle because of the disease. Sadly, theirs is far from an isolated case.

    Across Ceredigion Penfro, farmers are making heartbreaking decisions that carry enormous financial consequences and take a significant toll on their mental well-being. For some, these pressures have become so overwhelming that they are questioning whether they can carry on in the industry at all. Bovine TB remains one of the greatest challenges facing agriculture in my constituency. Alongside economic consequences, we must acknowledge the human cost. The stress, uncertainty and anxiety experienced by farming families living under prolonged TB restrictions cannot simply be measured in financial terms.

    For my constituency, this debate is particularly significant. Around two-thirds of all cattle slaughtered because of bovine TB in Wales last year were in high TB area west, covering the whole of Pembrokeshire and parts of Ceredigion, as Paul Davies has mentioned. That underlines the need for action that reflects the realities on the ground. A one-size-fits-all approach will not deliver eradication. We need targeted, science-led interventions, involving farmers and vets and other stakeholders as part of a wide strategy to finally eradicate bovine TB. For those reasons, I will support the motion today.

And so, I declare an interest, as through their experience, I've seen first-hand the profound emotional, practical and financial toll that bovine TB continues to have on farming families. Their story is similar to that of many other farmers in my constituency, and together, they reiterate the need for effective measures to address this long-standing issue.

    From April 2025 to March 2026, 3,068 cattle were slaughtered in Pembrokeshire and a further 971 in Ceredigion. That's over 4,000 cattle slaughtered in just two counties over a 12-month period. When I was first elected in 2007, that figure for Pembrokeshire was 2,384 and for Ceredigion was just 296. Of course, testing is far more sensitive than it was back then, but that is still a huge increase in cattle slaughtered, and behind each slaughter is a farming family devastated by it, which is why I've campaigned on this specific issue for the last 20 years.

    I'm sure you'd agree, Minister, that we need to look at, firstly, focusing these wildlife control efforts in areas with the highest level of bovine TB disease—in Monmouthshire, Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion and so forth. Local evidence showing us where this disease is prevalent should be used to identify those sets and show us where the action is necessary. This will, in turn, protect healthy badger populations, safeguard and save healthy cattle and give farmers in the worst affected areas and communities a chance to break that cycle of infection.

104. 2026-07-08 · Speech · Paul Marr, Member for Ceredigion Penfro · Economy & Welsh Tax

     I rise today to address yet another example of Welsh Government introducing policy without fully understanding the consequences. I refer to the 182-day occupancy requirement for self-catering accommodation providers. The policy was supposed to help tackle housing pressures and the impact of second homes. Instead, it is placing genuine tourism businesses under increasing strain, particularly in Ceredigion Penfro. 

     Since 2023, holiday-let operators have had to achieve 182 days of commercial occupancy to qualify for business rates rather than council tax. If they fail to meet the threshold, they can face significant additional costs, often including second home premiums. In theory, Ministers may argue that this sounds reasonable, but governing is not done in theory. It must be rooted in the realities faced by communities in Tenby, Saundersfoot, Newport, St Davids, Aberaeron, Newquay and countless other coastal and rural towns whose economies depend heavily upon seasonal tourism. Owners cannot control the weather. They cannot control rising living costs that reduce holiday bookings. They cannot control wider economy uncertainty, and they also cannot control the fact that west Wales remains a highly seasonable tourism market. Yet Welsh operators face one of the highest occupancy thresholds anywhere in these islands.

     What is particularly difficult to justify is the comparison with England. There is the equivalent threshold of 70 nights. In Wales, it is 182—more than double. So, where is the evidence that this higher threshold is delivering better outcomes? Has housing become more affordable in Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion? Has the housing supply significantly increased? Or has this policy simply created financial pressures and uncertainty for local tourism and businesses? The evidence increasingly points to the latter. 

     The Government's consultation generated over 1,200 responses, yet the result was largely administrative changes and technical exemptions. The central issue remained untouched: the threshold itself. This is not about protecting second homes, or those who exploit loopholes, it is about recognising that legitimate tourism businesses should not be penalised because they cannot guarantee year-round demand. The realities of Ceredigion and Penfro are not the realities of Cardiff. A one-size-fits-all approach simply does not work.

     Tourism in Wales is not a 'nice to have' on the margins of our economy, it is one of the load-bearing pillars of it. Welsh Government's own data shows that this sector directly supports more than 150,000 jobs—nearly 12 per cent of all employment in Wales—and generates £3.8 billion, 5.1 per cent of our gross value added. These are not abstract statistics on a spreadsheet; this is the guesthouse in Tenby, the cafe in Betws-y-Coed, the outdoor activity centre in Eryri, the small hotel in Llandudno that keeps its lights on in February because it knows summer is coming.

     I want to start by celebrating the huge contribution that tourism makes to Wales and my constituency in Ceredigion Penfro. Ceredigion Penfro is one of the most beautiful places in the world, shown by the millions who visit each year. In Ceredigion Penfro, you can travel from sandy beach to rolling hill to ancient woodland—and sometimes find all three in one place. From the only coastal national park in the UK in Pembrokeshire, to the remote wilderness of Ceredigion's Cambrian mountains. From Tenby to Trefdraeth and from Aberaeron to Arberth, it's no wonder that people across Wales and around the world want to visit Ceredigion Penfro.

     Tourism accounts for around 13 per cent of all employment in Ceredigion and 23 per cent in Pembrokeshire, so I'm delighted that this Government recognises the importance of the tourism industry to Wales. But evidence gathered from the previous Government showed that high levels of tourism, if not managed, can have a negative impact on an area. High levels of second homes and short-term lets can impact on local housing markets and the sustainability of local communities, particularly in areas where properties are not occupied for much of the year.

     Diolch. I welcome the Government's ambitions in developing a national food strategy, including strengthening supply chains and food processing capacity. Food processors in Ceredigion Penfro have told me how excited they are by the opportunities these commitments are already creating for our rural economy. Food processing plays an important role in the west Wales economy, including, for example, Puffin Produce, with a £15 million turnover, and Pembrokeshire Creamery, with a £60 million turnover, who together employ over 300 people and support numerous farming businesses in rural west Wales. Businesses want to work with Government to keep more of the value of Welsh produce within Wales while supporting sustainable and regenerative farming. So, could the Minister outline how the Welsh Government will work with producers and processors to turn ambitions into reality and ensure that rural communities across Wales share the benefits?

     Trefnydd, I'd like to request a statement from the Welsh Government on pavement parking. I've received a number of representations from constituents in Haverfordwest regarding vehicles that are regularly parked on pavements and, indeed, across dropped kerbs. This is not only an inconvenience for pedestrians but also presents a significant accessibility and, indeed, safety concern for many in the community. Now, as the Cabinet Minister will be aware, Scotland has already introduced legislation banning pavement parking, while, in England, the UK Government has consulted on the issue and is providing local authorities with additional enforcement powers to address obstructive parking. Wales should not be the only nation in Great Britain without a clear approach to tackling this problem. Therefore, I'd be grateful if the Welsh Government could provide a statement setting out its position on pavement parking so that we can understand what action is being taken to address this issue and how local authorities are being supported to improve accessibility, enhance road safety and ensure that our communities are safer and more inclusive for everyone.

The Cabinet Minister for Finance has confirmed that exemptions will be coming, but what the industry needs is a change of policy, not tinkering around the edges to benefit a few providers. Therefore, First Minister, will your Government listen to tourism providers in west Wales and commit to reviewing the whole 182-day threshold policy before more self-catering businesses are forced to close?

     In addition, the Cleddau Project, also in Pembrokeshire, has recently presented the findings of a 12-month citizen science initiative assessing water quality across 49 sites within the Cleddau catchment. The project, led by local surveyors and analysed by Professor Paul Withers of Lancaster University, identifies a significant decline in river health, primarily attributed to sewage discharge. The data indicates elevated levels of phosphates and nitrates within tributaries. Preliminary testing has identified concerning levels of E. coli in upper catchment areas near Haverfordwest, raising potential public health concerns for rivers, their users and our ecology. Species such as Atlantic salmon and otters are reported to be in decline. Salmon populations are now considered by Natural Resources Wales to be at risk, reflecting broader ecological stress within the river system.

     In addition, the River Teifi has similar problems with pollution. For the 2026 citizen science water quality report, over 70 sites were tested. There are 27 with data covering over 12 months. Of these 27, 15 produced annual mean orthophosphate results above the targets utilised by Natural Resources Wales. Taking into account the possible limitations of the equipment used, six of the sites completely fail the NRW targets, and nine are above the target but fall within the error range. The failing sections are mainly in the lower Teifi catchment area, which is below Newcastle Emlyn, whilst those above target but within the error range are mainly from the central catchment area, which includes Newcastle Emlyn to Lampeter. And, I think, Members of the Senedd, what is interesting here, and I quote from the report directly, is that

     Firstly, can I thank the Conservatives for tabling this important debate today? Standing up against the centralisation of services and the downgrading of hospital services in Withybush and Bronglais is a priority for me and colleagues in Plaid Cymru in Ceredigion Penfro. We need to invest in, not downgrade, our rural hospitals, and we need to invest in primary care to secure more NHS GPs and dentists and we need to introduce treatment centres to reduce waiting lists urgently, and I'm pleased to see the new Government is already getting to work on these issues. I want to recognise the citizen campaign groups who are playing a vital role in standing up against the downgrading of hospital services in west Wales. I want to thank representatives of the Save Withybush Action Team for discussing their priorities with me, and Protect Bronglais Services, which Elin Jones MS has worked with closely, for their work, not least the demonstration in Aberystwyth in February involving some 800 people and a recent petition with over 17,800 signatories. They've also played an important role in collating evidence. I was also pleased to have an early opportunity to meet with Hywel Dda health board, where I was able to raise my concerns.

     In an ideal world, we wouldn't be starting from here, and I was considering outlining the impact of 14 years of Tory austerity, of Brexit, and the decades of managed decline in Wales, but I don't want to focus on political divides. Rather, I want to tap into the scope here for working together across parties and constituencies to build alternatives, and, indeed, working with a new Welsh Government, whose health Minister here has a clear understanding of the challenges in rural healthcare and, as has been mentioned, has spoken out strongly on these issues. Neither do I want to focus on looking backwards. The original motion makes it sound as if this is about just keeping things the same and stopping further change, but what we have now is far from good enough for residents in Ceredigion Penfro. People in west Wales deserve better. We need to look forward and work creatively together, involving communities, to drive innovation and create a rural healthcare system that delivers the health outcomes our communities deserve. Finding those solutions is far from straightforward. Our health system is complex, and we need to see it as a whole. I urge you to support Plaid Cymru's amendment, which gives that context.

     Developing community-based services and investing in primary care is key to reducing pressure on acute hospitals. Cardigan Integrated Care Centre is an example of how doing this can work well, and I hope Hywel Dda will listen to calls for a similar centre in Fishguard. We need evidence-based services, but evidence from lived experience is just as important as any other evidence. I have heard harrowing stories from constituents about their experience of hospital services. Some of this is specifically related to rural challenges, not least long distances between hospitals and difficult access via public transport. Clinical leadership is of course important, but solutions that work in urban areas do not always work in rural settings. We also need to look at the real lived experience of patients. The reality of long distances and travel time in rural areas can be a matter of life and death.

     I first want to ask a question of the Cabinet Minister on what can only be described as a growing crisis in confidence in the way that rural healthcare decisions are made in Wales. I congratulate the Minister on his appointment, but I have to say at the outset that warm words will not be enough to reassure the people of west Wales if they are not matched by action. The reality is this: rural Wales is not being treated on an equal footing with urban Wales when it comes to healthcare planning. Geography is being ignored and access to care is being steadily eroded. Bronglais Hospital is the most rural general hospital in Wales; Withybush serves a vast and dispersed population alongside it. Together, they support around about 196,000 people across west Wales. In any urban setting, that population would typically be served by multiple easily accessibly sites. In west Wales, patients face long journeys, poor transport links and significant delays simply to access basic services. That context is everything, yet it is consistently treated as secondary in decision making.

     This issue is not isolated to Bronglais. In Pembrokeshire, communities are increasingly alarmed about the future of emergency and acute services at Withybush Hospital. Once again, services are being pulled further away from rural populations in the name of centralisation. Let's be honest about what this means in practice. For people in cities, it's an inconvenience. For people in rural Wales, it can be the difference between timely treatment and serious harm. That difference should be shaping Government policy, but it is not clear that it is.

     Minister, the people of west Wales are not asking for privilege. They are asking for equality of access. They are asking whether this Government truly believes that a patient in Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire deserves the same chance of timely care as someone in Cardiff or Swansea. Right now, the answer they are receiving is silence wrapped in bureaucracy, deflection dressed up as process, and leadership reduced to observation. This is not good enough. It is not what was promised and it is not what rural Wales needs. If this Government will not stand up for Bronglais and Withybush now, when the services are under active threat, then people are entitled to ask a very simple question: when exactly will it act? Because if the answer is not now, not here and not us, then it is rural Wales that pays the price. Diolch yn fawr.

     I'm pleased to take part in this very important debate. Now, over many years, the people that I represent in west Wales have seen a steady and deeply concerning pattern from Hywel Dda University Health Board, and that's the gradual centralisation of vital services away from the communities and people that rely on them. Services have been downgraded, transferred or reconfigured against the will of the very people that these services are meant for. Each time the health board takes a service away from the local hospital and moves it further eastwards, it has been presented as necessary. And yet, taken together, they tell a clear story—that the health board wants to pull services further away from west Wales and centralise them at Glangwili Hospital in Carmarthen. The latest centralisation proposals have been the removal of emergency general surgery at Withybush Hospital and a shake up of stroke services across mid and west Wales.

     Now, removing emergency general surgery is not a minor adjustment, it's a fundamental change that will have huge consequences for patients and increase travel times in an emergency situation. And so let me be absolutely clear from the outset that I oppose the health board's decision to remove this service from Withybush Hospital, and I will continue to campaign for the Welsh Government to intervene to stop this from happening. When minutes matter, distance matters, and I believe that expecting patients to travel further in an emergency situation is not just inconvenient, it's potentially dangerous.

     Of course, with a new Government in place, the people that I represent have hope for a change of direction. And given that the party of Government campaigned on these issues during the election and made it clear just how dangerous centralising emergency general surgery is, it's frustrating that there hasn't already been action from the Welsh Government on this issue. The Welsh Government has both the authority and the responsibility to intervene, and the people that I represent, understandably, want to know why action hasn't already been taken. The people of Ceredigion Penfro deserve clarity, transparency and accountability. And, above all that, they deserve safe, accessible healthcare closer to their homes.

     Now, for years, the previous Government did nothing while the health board removed service after service from Withybush Hospital, and I sincerely hope that this Government will not go down that same route. And it's not just emergency general surgery that is at risk. As I said earlier, stroke services are also under threat too. The health board is consulting on plans to downgrade stroke services to treat-and-transfer models at Bronglais and Withybush hospitals, and, if the health board follows through with its plans, it will mean that patients with acute stroke symptoms will have to travel significant distance for critical care. This is not right and it's not acceptable. It's another example of the health board centralising care in Carmarthen at the expense of communities further west.

     So, Llywydd, our rural hospitals need serious investment and, by delivering that, the Government would be sending a statement that helps attract doctors and other professionals to the area. But, in first instance, the Welsh Government needs to urgently intervene to stop the health board from removing any further services from Withybush and Bronglais hospitals. And so I urge the Cabinet Minister to do what his predecessor's predecessors have actually failed to do—stand up to Hywel Dda University Health Board and stand up for the people of mid and west Wales.

     Look at the consequences of this approach across Wales. Take Withybush general hospital, where emergency surgery was recently moved all the way to Glangwili Hospital in Carmarthenshire. Now, my colleague Paul Davies has long and tirelessly campaigned against the gradual erosion of vital services from Withybush, a hospital that serves not only a dedicated local community, but also hundreds of thousands of tourists who visit that beautiful part of Wales. He will no doubt expand on the controversial redesign of stroke services, currently causing deep anxiety across Hywel Dda.

     As another Member representing Ceredigion Penfro, I've also heard the same concerns that you have, so I welcome the Minister's clear commitment to keep the 182-day rule on self-catering lets under review. I recognise the impact that second homes and short-term lets are having on the housing crisis and communities, and it's important that the policy was developed in that context. But, as I said, I've heard the comments of constituents and I'm concerned that it's failing to deliver against the initial policy purpose in a number of aspects, and instead putting some people's livelihoods and homes under threat. And I've seen first-hand as well the impact that this kind of level of stress is having on people's mental health and well-being. So, can the Minister confirm that she will move quickly, where there are clear and reasonable practical exemptions that can be introduced, for example, where the holiday accommodation would not qualify as a private home?

     First Minister, people in Ceredigion Penfro are concerned that the actual 3-mile statutory walking distance rule is outdated and doesn't work for pupils living in rural communities. In areas like Rhydyfelin in Ceredigion, pupils living under 3 miles from Aberystwyth secondary schools are not eligible for free transport and are instead sometimes dropped off in Llanfarian, the nearest village over 3 miles away. There's no pavement between these villages, and the busy trunk road poses serious safety risks. While many pupils use the cycle path, it's unlit, hazardous in winter, and there have been multiple incidents. Therefore, First Minister, will you commit to undertaking a review of the Welsh Government's school transport policy, so that it can better respond to the needs of pupils living in rural areas, and can you tell us what additional support you will provide to authorities to help them improve safety and access for pupils in these communities?

Now, last week, my co-Ceredigion Penfro Member Anna Nicholl raised the centralisation of services from Withybush and Bronglais hospitals and asked for a statement on equal access to health services in rural Wales. Now, in response, you said that the local health board is responsible for planning and providing local services, and, whilst that's true, it's also true that the Welsh Government is responsible for the oversight of the NHS and sets the direction of travel, and, if it wanted to, it could intervene to safeguard services.

     Now, during the election campaign, Plaid Cymru highlighted an online petition calling for the Welsh Government to intervene and save services, and it also supported the calls for a stroke unit at Bronglais Hospital. And yet, in a response to a written question to me on this matter, the Cabinet Minister has passed the buck back to the local health board. Therefore, given the lack of clarity on this specific issue, I'd be grateful if we could have a clear statement from the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care so that the people of Ceredigion Penfro can understand whether the Welsh Government will intervene to safeguard essential services at Withybush and Bronglais hospitals.

As a carer myself, across Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion in my constituency, Labour has reduced the clinical role in our rural hospitals, but the community care to fill the gap has simply not been put in place. The results are delayed discharges, families left struggling, and many people denied the chance to spend their final days at home with their loved ones. We have providers across west Wales handing back contracts, refusing referrals and shelving expansion because they cannot recruit the workforce.

     Good afternoon, First Minister. I just want to go back to the issues around Dŵr Cymru, if I may, please. In just two years, people have seen their average water bill rise by over 30 per cent, yet this has not translated into clear improvements in water quality. England and Wales remain the only countries in Europe to have fully privatised water and sewerage services. At the same time, senior pay, as we've heard, remains extremely high. The previous chief executive of Dŵr Cymru received an annual salary close to £900,000. The current, new chief executive, Roch Cheroux, who joined from Sydney Water in Australia—another large water company, which has faced ongoing challenges with sewage overflows and water quality—his salary is going to be between £420,000 and £460,000. I think that is pretty shameless. So, I would like to ask you what action you will be taking in order to address both the disparity in our water bills increasing and the pay that we're seeing for the senior executives, and ensuring that we get improved water.

     First Minister, the priorities of the people of Ceredigion Penfro were made very clear during the Senedd election campaign: they want to see their local hospital services—that is, general emergency surgery and the stroke unit—staying put at Withybush and Bronglais hospitals respectively. They want the Welsh Government to intervene and stop Hywel Dda University Health Board from downgrading and centralising services further away from communities in west Wales.

     Your party made it clear that removing these services means longer journey times for people in urgent need, and that it would put lives at risk. Given some of the comments we heard during the election campaign about standing up for small rural hospitals, it's vital that the Welsh Government now urgently intervenes to stop the health board from taking services away from these hospitals. Therefore, First Minister, given the commitments made during the election campaign, can you confirm that it's still your party's and therefore your Government's intention to protect services at Withybush and Bronglais hospitals? If so, when will your Government be intervening to stop the removal of these services from these hospitals?
