Acute and emergency services in the Hywel Dda area
On the future delivery of acute and emergency services in the Hywel Dda University Health Board area, the first minister says "there are no plans to remove any services from Withybush, including its A&E provision, prior to any wider changes that there may be made in health services in that part of Wales."
He adds, "I urge anybody who has an interest in the future of those services to engage directly with the health board, with its clinicians who are responsible for the development of plans that will put health services in that part of Wales on a sustainable footing for the next 20 years.
"Opportunities have come and gone in south-west Wales because people's attachment to the status quo prevented them from being willing to move forward with plans that would have resulted in major investment in those services."

St David's Day 'a genuine platform to raise the profile of Wales'
The first minister says St David's Day provides "a genuine platform for us to be able to raise the profile and awareness of Wales".
He says that today "events will take place in Tokyo, Dublin, London, Washington, Brussels, Dubai, Beijing and Bangalore".
As an example, he says this morning he formalised the friendship between Wales and Oita - sparked in 2019 during the Rugby World Cup in Japan - by signing a Memorandum of Understanding.

'Not a single drop of Russian oil should be offloaded into Wales'
Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price points out that ships carrying Russian cargo are still scheduled to dock in Wales, despite calls from the UK government to block access.
He says that "not a single drop of Russian oil should be offloaded into Wales through a Welsh port while innocent blood is being shed in Ukraine".
First Minister Mark Drakeford replies "I entirely agree".
He adds, "the UK government will need to act again to make sure that the intent of their policy, which clearly is to prevent Russian oil being disembarked at UK ports—that that policy is effective, and when there are loopholes or ways around the rules that are found, and it is inevitable that others will seek that, that the UK government gets that information as fast as possible and is then able to act on it equally quickly."
The request to bar any Russian flagged or controlled vessels is among a series of economic sanctions imposed on Russia following its invasion of Ukraine.

Support for refugees from Ukraine
Andrew RT Davies, leader of the Welsh Conservatives in the Senedd, gives his party's full support for refugees from Ukraine to Wales.
He suggests "a new model having to emerge from Welsh Government and, indeed, from the United Kingdom Government, to deal with the magnitude of what we are facing, so that people can be genuinely supported in their desire either to settle in Wales or the rest of the United Kingdom, or, indeed, use it as a temporary haven whilst hopefully things stabilise back in Ukraine and Ukraine can become that proud sovereign nation that we across this Chamber want to see on the continent of Europe."

Time to Change
The first minister says that "one in four people in the whole of the Welsh workforce are now employed by a Time to Change employer.
"So, that means that the employer has committed themselves to the actions which they can take to make sure that, if people face a difficulty of that sort, then stigma does not prevent them from coming forward to seek the help that they need."
Time to Change Wales works to "end the stigma and discrimination faced by people with mental health problems".

Impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine
Today's plenary begins with an Emergency Question, with Jack Sargeant, the Labour MS for Alyn and Deeside, seeking a statement "on the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on Welsh citizens and businesses".
First Minister Mark Drakeford says "as a nation of sanctuary we will do everything we can to support the Ukrainian people. Wales is open to provide a welcome and safety to those fleeing war and persecution".
He announces £4m of financial and humanitarian aid for Ukraine.
He adds that the Welsh Government will tomorrow hold urgent discussions with local authority leaders to ensure
preparations are in place to accept refugees.
Speaking with a Ukrainian flag displayed in the Siambr, he says the Welsh NHS is also looking at making medical supplies available.
“The people of Wales are appalled at the invasion of Ukraine,” says the first minister.
A Ukrainian flag is also flying above Welsh Government headquarters in Cathays Park, Cardiff, on Tuesday.
