Questions to the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
Thank you again, Minister. Of course, the consequences of this type of bullying go far beyond the potential of a crime record for the bully. The bullied individual has to deal with them long after the abuse has stopped, often dealing with lifelong trauma…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
Thank you, Minister. I would like to expand upon the answer that Jayne Bryant got earlier. We know that bullying, whether that is racist abuse, attacks related to a child's disability, or anti-LGBT, can be relentless in this modern tech-enabled era. There's…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
Thank you, Presiding Officer. Minister, this week, we mark Anti-bullying Week. Bullying can take many forms and occur in many settings, from the playground to the boardroom, and far too many people are subjected to bullying. And that bullying usually relates…

Questions to the First Minister
Thanks, Jane, for raising this important issue. According to Public Health Wales, the incidence rate for mouth cancer has increased year on year since 2002. Last year, over 100 people died with oral cancer. The BDA states that nine in 10 people survive oral…

Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
Thank you, Minister. Of course, the best action the Welsh Government could take would be to clamp down on untreated sewage entering our waterways. The fact that Welsh Water has been able to continually release sewage into rivers such as Towy and Ogwr is bad…

Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government
Minister, the corporate joint committees support and encourage greater collaboration between local authorities. To date, there has been little evidence of that, particularly when it comes to promoting the economic well-being of their area. Across my region…

Debate: Remembrance
Thank you for allowing us to debate this important topic today. Alun, you were very strong about the silence and let us hope we don't ever witness silence of helplessness. This weekend in churches and at war memorials across the British isles we will stand…

Statement by the Minister for Economy: Tata Steel
Thank you for your statement, Minister. Following your discussions with Tata and the steel unions, do you have any concerns that the pursuit of electric arc furnaces could undermine the agreed deal? Since your previous statement following the news of the deal…

Inquiry into the implementation of the 'Anti-racist Wales Action Plan': evidence session 2
Thank you very much. And the last question: the Equality and Human Rights Commission has said that the public sector lacks confidence when collecting and submitting data on ethnicity. To what extent is this the case, and how could data collection be improved…

We'll look forward to that. Thank you very much. To Dean, really, what progress has been made to strengthen data on the reporting of racist incidents and harassment in schools and colleges?

I was coming to that report. Is there anything else we need to know, or can you update us on any further progress about that report?

Inquiry into the implementation of the 'Anti-racist Wales Action Plan': evidence session 2
Thank you very much. In their written evidence, Estyn said that they do not feel that the progress and monitoring arrangements of the plan for education are clear enough. How effective are current monitoring arrangements, and what further support could help…

Inquiry into the implementation of the 'Anti-racist Wales Action Plan': evidence session 1
This is really for David, this question. What work has been done to develop the social care content of the workplace race equality standard? How realistic is the March 2024 timeline? Has the Minister provided guidance to help raise awareness of the impact and…

Inquiry into the implementation of the 'Anti-racist Wales Action Plan': evidence session 1
Thank you very much, David, for that. Organisations report that a workplace race equality standard implementation group has been established and a report is expected in 2024. This was viewed positively by a number of organisations. What difference would you…

Inquiry into the implementation of the 'Anti-racist Wales Action Plan': evidence session 1
Thank you very much. My question is on monitoring and measuring progress. How is your organisation monitoring and measuring your own progress against the actions? How effective are your current arrangements for monitoring, as we have self-assessment? Is that…

Inquiry into the implementation of the 'Anti-racist Wales Action Plan': evidence session 1
Yes. Professor Mangat, it's nice to talk to you. As you were referring to getting the doctors from Kerala to come here, my point is: how well are they being prepared for this social environment here, which is entirely different from Kerala, or, for that…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: A&E department performance data
Thank you very much, Jenny. Each A&E department should be with an observation ward of 30 to 50 patients. Unless you have that, you will always have this problem in the A&E department—No.1. No. 2, we don't know about the other part of the curve: how many…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: A&E department performance data
It gives me no great pleasure to take part in this debate today. As important as it is, we should not have to have the same conversation over and over again. While on the surface this debate is about the importance of meaningful and transparent data, we…
