0:00:54 > 0:00:58A Wales where everyone has access to top-class health care,

0:00:58 > 0:00:59always free at the point of use...

0:00:59 > 0:01:02We know that with a Labour government in Westminster,

0:01:02 > 0:01:04there'll be more resources for Wales

0:01:04 > 0:01:07and more stability in NHS and social care.
