That this House notes the unfortunate situation in Wales where several Nationalist, Liberal Democrat and Conservative Members of the National Assembly have been elected on regional lists when they have been rejected by electorates in constituency first-past-the-post elections; believes that such a situation undermines the democratic process and gives a morally weak mandate to AMs elected in such a way; and calls upon the Government to bring forward an amendment to the Government of Wales Act 1998 to ensure that candidates stand for either a constituency seat or a regional list seat but not both.

That this House welcomes the fact that the Government has decided to provide financial assistance to pay for the nursing care of elderly people who require long-term care; notes that these payments apply to individuals living at home or in residential homes; is however, very concerned that when payments are awarded to people in care homes the money is paid direct to the care home and in some instances the financial benefit is not being passed on to the resident; and calls on the Government to examine the extent of this activity and prepare appropriate regulations to prevent this unfair practice which is depriving some of the most weak and vulnerable elderly people of financial support which is intended for them.
