We'll soon be ending our live page coverage of tonight's event, where leaders of the Welsh Conservatives Welsh Lib Dems, and Plaid Cymru faced questions from an audience of voters.

Here are the key takeaways from each of the leaders:

• Welsh Tory Darren Millar said it is "morally irresponsible" not to focus on tackling the NHS, and the Conservatives would declare a "national health emergency" in Wales. It would enable the Welsh government to focus resources on surging bed numbers
• Lib Dem leader Jane Dodds said her party would ban mobile phones in secondary schools
• Plaid Cymru's Rhun ap Iorwerth was repeatedly questioned about independence. He said there would be no referendum on independence in a first Plaid term but left the door open on one in the future

The second Your Voice Live: Ask the Leader programme takes place on 15 April on BBC1 Wales, BBC Radio Wales, and the BBC Wales website from 20:00 BST.

The leaders of Welsh Labour, Reform UK and the Wales Green Party will also face 30 mins of questions each from a live studio audience in Llandudno.

You can read more about tonight's event here.

If you're on the right of politics in Wales, why wouldn't you just vote for Reform, if they have a chance of getting into government, presenter Nick Servini asked Welsh Tory Darren Millar earlier on.

Millar made a list of criticisms of Nigel Farage's party - "its former leader is currently serving jail time at the moment", he said, referring to former Reform UK Wales leader Nathan Gill who admitted taking bribes for pro-Russian statements.

"Let me make it clear, there's only one Conservative party on the ballot paper at the Senedd elections, and that's the Welsh Conservative Party."

Lib Dem leader Jane Dodds has ruled out working with Reform, but she has also set a red line that no one they will work with will have anything to do with independence.

Dodds said earlier that Plaid are "not necessarily" going to win the election.

Plaid has ruled out trying to hold a referendum in a first. Dodds accused Plaid of wanting to consult with the Welsh public about independence, which she said will take the focus away from social care, the NHS and education.

She didn't clarify whether she is closed off from working with Plaid.

Ap Iorwerth's call on second homes reviewpublished at 21:43 BST 8 April

The 182-day rule was mentioned repeatedly by the audience - it means that self-catering holiday lets must be rented out for at least 182 days or they get reclassified as second homes and are subject to council tax, in some cases at premium rates.

This rule is intensely unpopular with tourism operators, but was introduced as part of a series of measures to address the shortage of affordable homes for local people in tourist hotspots.

Rhun ap Iorwerth has said before that he believes there should be exemptions to the rule, for example farmers who diversify by converting a barn on their property.

But his call for a review of the law and a possible reduction in the threshold appears to go further than he has previously.

During tonight's programme Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth said he would review the rule that requires self-catering accommodations that are not let for 182-days a year to be treated as a second home.

That appears to be a new commitment from the party leader.

Ap Iorwerth says it needs to be "under review".

“If it's a little bit too high, government needs to be able to be awake to that. And there are properties that Plaid Cymru will exempt. If you've got a farm sort of barn conversion, that shouldn't be a property that is part of that system that should be exempt."

Earlier this week a man who runs four holiday cottages told BBC Wales he would be "forced into bankruptcy" if he ever retired because of the rules.

Tonight's live event has now finished

This was the first of two linked programmes, with the leaders of Reform UK, Welsh Labour and the Green Party set to appear in the second next week.

Stay with us as we being you more reaction to tonight's leaders' pitches to voters.

On the final question from Joshua on what his priority is, Ap Iorwerth lists health, reducing waiting times, education standards, creating better jobs and childcare.

But he says if he wants to "boil it down to one priority", its about "raising our level of confidence in what we can do together.

"I don't believe in a government imposing things on people. I believe in a government that works in partnership with the people of Wales."

Free childcare plan potentially challengingpublished at 21:29 BST 8 April

Rhun ap Iorwerth has mentioned Plaid’s plans to expand free childcare - a big spending commitment and one that is potentially challenging in terms of the availability of a qualified workforce in suitable locations.

He also mentioned the persistent problem of child poverty here.

Plaid wants to explore the possibility of a direct child payment, similar to that provided by the Scottish government, to try to address that issue.

But Scotland has greater powers over the benefits system there than the Welsh government does here, so there are question marks over the feasibility of a such a plan in Wales.

Plaid is proposing a pilot scheme “targeted at those families most in need”, but it might require support from the UK government in order to be delivered effectively and such support is not guaranteed.

Ap Iorwerth wants independence - but not yetpublished at 21:27 BST 8 April

Rhun ap Iorwerth describes himself as taking a pragmatic approach to independence.

He wants it, but not at this election or the next Senedd term as he wants to prioritise things like the NHS and education.

The word independence is not one that has been tripping off Plaid Cymru tongues in this campaign.

The party is treading carefully, aware the topic might spook voters who might be looking at Plaid for the first time.

Some of Plaid’s opponents don’t buy it and warn that the party would be emboldened if it won next month.

Ap Iorwerth adds that the party has an economic plan, adding he would bring back the Welsh Development Agency which would help create jobs.

But he says that was "too focused" on bringing in investment from outside Wales, although he says this is still "very important".

He says small firms need "new multipliers" - effectively new levels that they pay business rates at, but says he wants to "focus the energy" of Welsh government on small firms.

A question from Wendy Maslowski, who lives in Pembroke Dock.

Wendy, a retired executive assistant in the tech industry, says: "Wales has one of the UK’s highest rates of small business employment, but confidence in the future of the sector remains low.

"How does your party propose to help small businesses?" Wendy adds.

Ap Iorwerth says: "Small businesses are at the heart of the Welsh economy."

No word on when waiting lists plans would happenpublished at 21:22 BST 8 April

The current Welsh Labour government has missed a number of targets on NHS waiting lists since the pandemic.

Setting targets is always a political risk, especially when they are not met.

Ap Iorwerth said he wants no one to wait more than two years for treatment and for overall lists to come down to pre-pandemic levels.

But tellingly, would not say when he wanted this to happen.

Audience member Jemma Davies, who is pregnant, fears either herself or her unborn baby will be at fatal risk because Withybush Hospital has no consultant-led maternity units.

She adds: “If something happens to myself or the baby during labour or birth, there is only one designated ambulance that's on standby. And what happens if that ambulance is broken down or it's held somewhere else?"

Ap Iorwerth says: "What we need is to have is an understanding of what it is that we're able to keep within our local district, general hospitals.”

Ap Iorwerth continues: "But I throw the question back, back at people. Do you want to look at whether there's a better way of doing things than the way things are done?"

He is pushed by Nick Servini on whether he has paused his campaign for independence. Rhun ap Iorwerth rejects the suggestion.

"Do I sound as if I paused on my ambition for Wales and my belief that this isn't as good as things could be for Wales?"

The second question to Rhun ap Iorwerth comes from Serban Voda, a 35-year-old from Swansea.

Can he confirm to voters that you won’t start it sooner if you get into government, he is asked.

"This isn't an election about independence," he says, reiterating their policy that there will not be a referendum on on independence in a first term of a Plaid government.

Lib Dems closed off to deal with Plaid Cymru?published at 21:14 BST 8 April

Did Lib Dem leader Jane Dodds get as close as she could to ruling out a deal with Plaid Cymru after the election?

No party is likely to win a majority so a deal might need to be done.

At their campaign launch earlier the Lib Dems said that not a single penny should be spent on preparations for independence.

Tonight Dodds appeared to have equated that with Plaid’s plans for a national commission to begin a conversation about Wales’ constitutional future in the next Senedd term.

Rhun ap Iorwerth assures the audience that nobody will wait more than two years for treatment under a Plaid government.

He says it is "ridiculous that 5,000 people now are waiting more than two years. That's got to go completly."

Governments, he says, cannot keep blaming the pandemic for problems in the health service.

Ap Iorwerth answers the question by saying making sure there are good transport links and decent standards of healthcare within the local community.

The Plaid leader says there need to be assurances that the standard of care is consistent throughout all of Wales, and says that over time resources were needed to go back to primary care, to help people stop from going further distances to hospital.

"It's about building a sustainable healthcare service for the future," he says.

The first question to Rhun ap Iorwerth is from Jemma Davies, a 36-year-old fast food manager living in Haverfordwest.

"Some people in Wales are having to travel long distances to access hospital appointments. What will your party do to ensure people who don’t drive can reliably get access to the care they need?" she asks.

Rhun Ap Iorweth is now up and addressing the audience.
