Caroline Jones
(South Wales West) To
propose that the National Assembly for Wales: 1.

with the NHS is through general practice. 2.
Regrets that, despite this, general practice receives less than eight per cent
of the health budget. 3.
Calls on the Welsh Government to prioritise general practice with significant
investment in resources, people and infrastructure. The following amendments
have been tabled: Amendment
1. Rhun ap
Iorwerth (Ynys Môn) Delete
point 1 and replace with: Recognises
that the majority of patients have chronic conditions that are best managed in
the community, and this requires strong primary care with general practice at
the centre. Amendment
2. Jane Hutt
(Vale of Glamorgan) Delete
all after Point 1 and replace with: Recognises
the extent to which Welsh Government continues to invest in primary care
services across Wales and the ongoing commitment to work in partnership with

Wales. [If

3. Rhun ap
Iorwerth (Ynys Môn) Insert

services has been neglected. Amendment
4. Rhun ap
Iorwerth (Ynys Môn) Insert
as new point after point 2 and renumber accordingly: Regrets
that there has been a decline in the number of GPs in recent years; notes that

alongside other health professionals; believes that other health professionals
should complement and add to the service provided by GPs, and should not be
used to replace them. Amendment
5. Rhun ap
Iorwerth (Ynys Môn) Insert
as new point after point 2 and renumber accordingly: Notes
that many GPs have chosen to come to work in Wales from outside the UK, and

workers continues. Amendment

Iorwerth (Ynys Môn) Delete
point 3 and replace with: Calls
on the Welsh Government to ensure primary care, secondary care, and social care
work together to help patients manage their conditions in the community, with a
focus on prevention of hospital admissions; and recognises that this will
require proper long term workforce planning, investments in infrastructure, and
wider government policies to promote good health. Amendment
7. Paul Davies
(Preseli Pembrokeshire): Recognises
the importance that allied health care professionals play in ensuring that
primary care is effectively delivered. Amendment
