That this House notes that over 70 per cent. of the 44 action points for improving health and safety at work contained in the Health and Safety Commission strategy, Revitalising Health and Safety, published in June 2000, have now been achieved; welcomes the fact that the number of workers fatally injured fell by 10 per cent. in 2002-03, to 226, and that the fatal and major injury rate is broadly steady; believes that the United Kingdom has the best health and safety record in Europe; further welcomes the role that has been played by the Health and Safety Executive and Government, trade unions and employers in achieving this record; further believes, however, that fatal or major injuries remain a serious concern; and therefore supports the new Health and Safety Commission strategy to 2010 and beyond, published in February, which aims to make this a cornerstone of a civilised society and lead the world in workplace health and safety.

That this House expresses its concern that the President of Plaid Cymru has established a website in which he invites individuals to pay an annual minimum donation of ??180, or ??15 per month, in exchange for a number of 'benefits' which include assistance in obtaining tickets to the Public Gallery of the House; is further concerned that the President of Plaid Cymru, Mr Ieuan Wyn Jones, is offering assisted access to the Public Gallery even though he is not an honourable Member himself; and believes that the appropriate authorities in the House should carry out an inquiry into this website and that Plaid Cymru should return all donations they have received through this website.

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.
