Thank you for taking the intervention. I agree wholeheartedly with the point that you're making, Alun, about the fact that we need a consistent approach across the whole country—that certainly isn't the case. In fact, one of the problems that I've had…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Accounting practices at Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Accounting practices at Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board
Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I have to say, I'm a little disappointed at the Minister's response to the debate today. We know that, under the National Health Service (Wales) Act 2006, you do have powers to direct the health board in any way that you…
