Great. Really helpful. Thank you. Diolch, Gadeirydd.

So, essentially, what's the mission and how do we enable people to get there.

Yr Economi Sylfaenol - Panel 1
Harry, can I come to you? Are there any additional things that you want to—?

Yr Economi Sylfaenol - Panel 1
Because therein lies the challenge, doesn’t it? There are so many different sectors within this catch-all term of ‘foundational economy’. We've got care, health, education—food and drink can come into it as well. These are all very different sectors, so how…

Yr Economi Sylfaenol - Panel 1
If I could come to Professor Green, because I think there's a lot of common ground between the paper that you submitted to the committee around—. I would argue that Welsh Government has embedded foundational economy policy in quite an uneven way across…

Yr Economi Sylfaenol - Panel 1
Diolch, Cadeirydd. I think we've covered a lot of the meat of what I wanted to ask here, and I think that, actually, the challenge you put, Professor Williams, is a really fair challenge. Listening to the evidence so far though, I think you'd be forgiven for…

Fel aelod o'r bwrdd pontio, rwyf wrth gwrs yn croesawu gwaith y bwrdd a gwaith Ysgrifennydd Gwladol Cymru wrth helpu'r bwrdd i ganolbwyntio, ac, i fod yn deg, y ffordd y gweithredodd y Llywodraeth ar frys dros yr haf i ryddhau peth o'r cyllid ar gyfer…

I'd imagine the clerks would communicate between each other.

Y wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am ddeisebau blaenorol
Yes, so at least there's some feed in from us into those initial stages of that inquiry.

Rhys is right. We're in a crisis period right now when it comes to GP practices, and I think that's why it's important to have that early debate. But, of course, I think some work from this committee or between this committee and the health committee, even in…

Y wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am ddeisebau blaenorol
Diolch, Gadeirydd. It's a very important petition. GP practices are one of the two areas that I personally want to see a lot more work done on within the health service. Just in the context of this petition, I know that the health committee has announced that…

Y wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am ddeisebau blaenorol
Diolch, Cadeirydd. I should say from the outset that, in this particular case, as this is outside the area that I represent, I'm not entirely across it, though I do have some sympathy for what's being said. One of the things I think is absolutely crazy that…

Deisebau newydd
Yes, exactly. We put it down. We also as well, by doing that, express the strong feelings of this committee to NRW.

Deisebau newydd
Diolch, Gadeirydd. I mean, what a signal to send, that Wales is closed, by closing some visitor centres. I think, in the particular case of Coed y Brenin, it’s got recognition globally as one of the top places to do mountain biking. Now, I don’t know too much…

Diolch, Gadeirydd. I know the Welsh Government have done some recent consultations in relation to the draft mental health and well-being strategy. There's also the suicide and self-harm prevention strategy. So, these are things that, I think, we are still…

Deisebau newydd
Diolch, Gadeirydd, a diolch, Peter. It is one of those things that you only realise you need when you need it, in my case at least, but there are plenty of people out there who need it on a far more regular basis. I agree with what Rhys said and the…
16 Medi 2024 , Petitions Committee
Deisebau newydd
Yes. Diolch, Gadeirydd. I've got nothing really additional to add to that, other than that I don't think there's any discussion about abolishing the use of the word 'Wales' in this sense. I mean, I slip in and out of saying 'Cymru' or 'Wales', just by virtue…
16 Medi 2024 , Petitions Committee
Deisebau newydd
Yes. I'm just considering at this point, where the Welsh Government haven't changed their view, that perhaps there might be another avenue here via the Llywydd's office or the Commission, to see at the very least if we can start using 'Senedd' over 'Welsh…
16 Medi 2024 , Petitions Committee
Deisebau newydd
Diolch, Cadeirydd. I’ve made my views on this in the past fairly clear. I support the use of 'Cymru' exclusively. This isn’t something that’s new or not practised elsewhere in the world. We know there’s similar debates happening in New Zealand and India. But…

I'd also as well highlight it with the relevant Minister, because I think this is important. If we want more people in work, if we want more people contributing to the local economy, whether that's working or getting involved in some cultural events, you have…

Deisebau newydd
Diolch, Cadeirydd. I think, actually, this goes a lot further than just the ability to attend different music events or concerts; this goes across multiple different areas. From a work perspective, those who work in the hospitality industry are often…

Deisebau newydd
I'd say both. Yes.
