 As we approached this festive time of the year, I just wanted to take the chance to pause and say thank you to all of you staff who work across our NHS and care services for the fantastic work that you do every day supporting our population across Wales in all sorts of settings and at all times of the day. Back in July earlier this year we were able on the NHS side to pause and celebrate 70 years of the NHS since its creation back in 1948 and I don't know whether you would have felt the same but I was certainly moved by the outpourings of warmth and support which came from our public in Wales and across the UK but also from our workforce for the values and principles of the NHS. As we approach this festive period, clearly this is also a busy and challenging time of the year where the NHS will be available right throughout the period of time 24 hours a day and I just wanted to say thank you very much Joffin Barry-Yann for all that you do for the Welsh population and I do hope that you have some chance to pause and spend some time with your family and friends. Thank you very much and have a happy Christmas and new year. Nadola Clawin.
