<p>And finally, Gareth Davies.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Thank you very much, Gareth Davies. Well, you'll know that the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs meets regularly with farmers and the farming unions, so I would like you to share the evidence that you've had from the farmers who have brought this to your attention in terms of the unacceptable imports of food treated with such a chemical substance.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Questions from spokespeople will be next, but, before I call on Gareth Davies to ask his question, it's my pleasure to welcome the President of the New South Wales Legislative Council, who is in the public gallery.&nbsp;</p>

<p>I think it's a really important question the Member raises. It goes to the heart of what a Government needs to do to provide security for the people that it serves, and providing the security of a roof over one's head is fundamental to that. But you can't see one policy in isolation from other complementary policy areas. Yes, we've got huge targets, really ambitious targets for building new affordable homes, but you can't do that unless you actually resolve the planning challenge that we face, and Gareth Davies&nbsp;actually highlighted it, the need for more planners. With 14 years of austerity, when the Tories were calling it savings, actually, what it was was job cuts. And we need to recruit, train and secure more planners, if we are to build more affordable homes for people.</p>
<p>I'd also say that a huge part of the solution to the challenge that is faced right across communities, rural and urban, is the need to ensure that we get better jobs for people, that we free people to be able to acquire the home that they wish. And then we'll be able to deal with not just homelessness, but we'll be able to deal with a lack of churn within the housing chain as well, which is often so important to a prosperous economy.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Well, can I thank Gareth Davies for his question? At the weekend, I and many others from the Labour Party were over in Llandudno, a fabulous tourist destination—a magnificent place. We are very fortunate to represent north Wales constituencies, are we not? And, at the end of the conference, rather than rush back to Ruabon, I thought I’d just spend a little more time in the area, investing a little more time in the area. And I actually went over to Conwy as well, which is a fabulous place too. And you’ll be aware that it has the smallest house in the world on the seafront there. And I was told that your party is going to be holding your post-election conference in the porchway, in that particular tourist attraction next year. [<em>Laughter</em>.]</p>
<p>In direct answer to your question, I think it’s really essential—and I’ll be discussing this matter with the north Wales business council on Friday—absolutely essential that we see the visitor levy, I believe, as an opportunity, which is what many other places, like Greater Manchester, have seen it as. It was business led there, and the businesses have embraced it. Why? Because businesses realise that if you were to draw in more tourists, if you are going to add value to the sector, you have to make a place worth coming to. That means getting more investment into events, new installations, new attractions, new experiences, new cultural icons, and you can only do that if you’ve got the investment. So, I would say to the tourist sector, 'Please, please, work with your local authorities, work with us, as much as possible, to develop ideas, to ensure that we can draw in more visitors in the future, through better infrastructure for tourism, through better investment&nbsp;in businesses, through better investment in promotional activity, and, crucially as well, more investment in major events. Major events are a major pull, obviously. We've got the Tour de France, which I think will demonstrate huge value in having major events come to Wales. We can only get them if we have the money to invest in them. I think the tourism levy can do just that. It can provide us with the additional resource to draw in more major events.</p>

<p>So, Gareth Davies—spokespeople's questions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Long waiting times have fallen by over two thirds right across Wales, and that positive trend is reflected in north Wales, with Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board confirming that the number of patients waiting more than two years for treatment reduced from 10,070 at the end of last year, in December, and by March of this year, it was down to 5,747, which is an improvement of 43 per cent. As you said in your answer to Gareth Davies, of course there is still much work to be done, but we are heading in the right direction, thanks to the hard work and dedication of the staff. So, how is the Welsh Government working with the health board to ensure that the additional targeted funding you referred to of £120 million across Wales is ensuring that we have the necessary facilities to keep bringing those waiting times down?</p>

<p>Thank you for that question, Gareth Davies. Of course, this is very much a cross-Government issue in terms of policy and implementation in relation to the provision at our education institutions and our health service, and it is also appropriate to look at it as a regional and cross-border issue as well in terms of access to training. Thank you.</p>

<p>And finally, Gareth Davies.</p>
