Interesting that, in contrast to Nigel Farage in the UK-debates, Nathan Gill did not try to turn the NHS question into an attack on immigration - he is generally taking a rather more emollient approach than his party leader.

Applause as Nathan Gill says the Welsh Government has made "a right pig's ear" of running the NHS in Wales.

Next question is from Kemi Nevins - "Many decisions made regarding the NHS are short-term measures designed to be crowd-pleasing. What would the panel's commitments be to the nation's long-term health problems?"

Audience member says people with disabilities must be "beyond exasperated" to see politicians talking about them as a political problem. Asks what the panel would never cut on ethical grounds.

"Minimum wage," says Leanne Wood.

"I want to raise the Carer's Allowance'" from Nathan Gill.

"I'd cut high earners' wages," says Pippa Bartolotti, while Kirsty Williams says she wouldn't support the welfare cuts proposed by the Conservatives.

"We will not be cutting disabled people's benefits," says Owen Smith. Stephen Crabb says we don't want to cut child benefit, pensions - but others asks about where the proposed £12bn of welfare cuts would come from.

The reaction by the audience to Owen Smith there suggests that, whatever else they may think on other issues, Labour have not convinced many people of their case on the economy.

Question on trust from audience member - will Owen Smith admit the last Labour government spent unwisely. Owen Smith's refusal to agree is met by groans from the audience.

Leanne Wood: The Tories go out to deliberately demonise people who rely on benefits. But Stephen Crabb responds the there's a need to make the benefits system fairer.

Roger Scully:

All four speakers from the opposition parties spoke very strongly on the question on welfare benefits. Both Kirsty Williams and Stephen Crabb looked somewhat uncomfortable in defending the 'Bedroom Tax', and they didn't seem to attract a great deal of sympathy from the audience when doing so.

Stephen Crabb doing that rarest of things - mounting a detailed defence of the so-called 'bedroom tax'.

Maybe Pippa Bartolotti is less experienced and polished than some of her opponents up on the stage. But her passion showed through very effectively there in talking about the impact of austerity on women and the poor.

Our next question is from Bethany Tiencken - If elected what will your party do for a fairer system for the disabled and their carers?

I know women with three jobs struggling to make ends meet, says Pippa Bartolotti - she urges women to get involved in politics and close the gender pay gap.

It's getting a bit livelier as the impact of spending cuts take centre stage. You just don't get it, Owen Smith tells Stephen Crabb. Beat your chest as much as you want, he replies. Leanne Wood though wants to know whether Mr Smith thinks it was "foolish" of Ed Milbiand to rule out working with Plaid Cymru - but we'll have to wait until later for the answer.

Probably Owen Smith's most effective contribution thus far on food banks and inequality. But a strong come-back from Stephen Crabb.

An audience member says: the seems to be a culture of denial in Wales over the economy - and it's primarily the Welsh Government's fault
