Diolch. Can I again begin by saying how much I enjoyed working with you, especially in north Wales, and, personally, how I'll miss you?

I'll move on to my speech. I've agreed to take contributions from Rhun ap Iorwerth and Dawn Bowden at the end of this speech. An estimated 3,600 children in Wales are living with a life-limiting condition. Although approximately 800 of these children have ongoing palliative care needs that require contact with hospital services, only about half of these currently access respite at children's hospices. The incidence and prevalence study recently commissioned by the all-Wales end of life board core group will give us more up-to-date figures about the number of children with palliative care needs, and it is expected that this figure will rise significantly in their report.
