ap Iorwerth (Ynys Môn)
To
propose that the National Assembly for Wales:
1.
Believes that good social care services play an essential role in keeping the
NHS sustainable.
2.
Notes that unpaid carers make a critical and unappreciated contribution towards
ensuring the sustainability of health and social care and regrets the fall in
the number of nights of respite care provided since 2011.
3.
Believes that community hospitals could play a vital role in providing respite
care, and in easing the transition back to community health settings for those
who have required hospital settings.
4.
Calls on the Welsh Government to reverse the practice of closing community
hospitals and explore ways of restoring the availability of beds for use by
both health and social care services.
