Are those screened, then? So, if somebody does have—. Because I know with bowel screening, they do have genetic—. Sorry. If there's evidence there to suggest that somebody's ancestors had certain genes to suggest that they might have that, then there is the…

Just finally, because I know we are pressed for time, the Wales Cancer Research Centre is utilising artificial intelligence to analyse data and better understand cancer risk. Has your research found, in terms of the link between the genetic and lifestyle…

That's really interesting. Thanks for answering that technical question. I know it's probably not what you were expecting.

Canserau gynaecolegol: Panel 6
I appreciate it's probably a technical question, but what is it about obesity that increases the risk of things like womb and gynaecological cancers? Just out of interest, what increases that risk?

Canserau gynaecolegol: Panel 6
Thank you, Chair, and good morning, everybody. I wanted to talk about prevention. Public Health Wales has told us that lifestyle changes—. It goes without saying, really, doesn't it, that if you quit smoking, you look after your weight and reduce alcohol…

But is there the political will, do you think, from the Welsh Government to implement that? Obviously, I don't know the make-up or how the Wales Screening Committee is balanced, but is that ambition shared amongst all of those bodies, to ensure that that…

Canserau gynaecolegol: Panel 5 - Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru
Is Public Health Wales working with the Welsh Government, and is that an ambition from leaders in and Ministers within the Welsh Government to project this self-screening programme, and is that felt by Welsh Ministers? Because we talked, obviously, about…

Canserau gynaecolegol: Panel 5 - Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru
Just on that, from what I can gather, the reason for self-screening is to remove that barrier of embarrassment of that physical examination by somebody that a woman might not know. So, where that might take the pressure off GPs, it's going to create a…

Canserau gynaecolegol: Panel 5 - Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru
That's really helpful, thank you. How well geared up is the sector for self-screening? Because, obviously, we want to see an increase in this. You say seven out of 10, but, ideally, we want to see 10 out of 10, don't we? We want to see that being maybe a…

Canserau gynaecolegol: Panel 5 - Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru
Thank you, Chair. I wanted to talk about self-screening and explore the potential possibilities around removing some of those barriers and getting quicker diagnosis and possible treatment in future. How achievable do you think this is? What steps can we do to…

Yes.

Canserau gynaecolegol: Panel 5 - Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru
So, is that to suggest then that socioeconomic factors can be a barrier to getting diagnosis and early treatment, then?

Canserau gynaecolegol: Panel 5 - Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru
Thanks, Chair. I just wanted to pick up again on the messaging and how far you believe that that resonates through all facets of society, because, obviously, we've got areas of—I look at my own constituency, and we've got areas of deprivation. Do we think…

And of course, whatever our opinions are on Senedd reform, things are going to change in the future—boundary changes. We don't know what the future's going to hold and we don't have a crystal ball. I think that's key in terms of this Bill—it's about looking…

Tthank you, Chair, and thanks, Minister. I just wanted to pick up on one of the remarks you made about the Welsh Government doing its own thing if it doesn't agree with what the English system does. Would that be a political decision, or would that be a…
