To propose that the Senedd:

2. Acknowledges there are occasions when the NHS faces exceptional pressures, which can mean people sometimes experience extended waits in parts of the hospital system.

3. Calls on the Welsh Government to continue to work with the NHS and local authorities to improve timely discharge of people from hospital and support enhanced community care services to provide alternatives to hospital admission wherever possible.
