Questions to the First Minister
Minister, the pathways for care reporting framework is a welcome addition. We're all too aware of the impact that delayed transfers of care have across the NHS. The framework aims to promote closer working between health and care, and we will only be able to…

Debt and the impact of the rising cost of living: evidence session 3
Thank you. Now, how aware are people of the support available, and how easy is it to apply for? Are there any particular barriers that people face in accessing support, and how would you suggest addressing these? Both of you. Yes, thank you.

Debt and the impact of the rising cost of living: evidence session 3
Well, thank you, Chair. My questioning is on the effectiveness of cost-of-living support. To what extent has the cost-of-living support provided by the Welsh and UK Governments helped people in your communities? How sustainable is this support, and have you…

Thank you. I'd like to come back to you. Can you tell us how your approach will help to tackle food poverty in rural communities over the longer term? And, over the longer term, is this an approach you plan to roll out beyond Flintshire? What are the…

Debt and the impact of the rising cost of living: evidence session 2
Yes, thank you very much. All of you have said that foodbanks are not the answer to tackle food poverty. What would you prefer to see, and what role can the Welsh Government play in delivering that over the longer term? Sarah, FareShare's website, examining…

Debt and the impact of the rising cost of living: evidence session 2
I was curious about the type of subsidised food that is supplied door-to-door at a very reduced cost. What type of food is it? Is it balanced and does it contain sugar and salt? Does it do all the breakfast and two meals? Is it chilled or frozen, because…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Free ports
I'm pleased to be taking part in this debate today as a firm backer of the Celtic free-port bid. The opportunities offered by the Celtic free port to my region and the wider south-west Wales area are immense. That is why the bid has support from across the…

Questions to the Minister for Education and Welsh Language
Minister, it is tough to imagine what the workplace of tomorrow will be like. If someone had said this time last year that artificial intelligence would pass the interview for a level 3 programme engineer at Google, we would have thought them crazy, but that…

Questions to the First Minister
Minister, the provision of step-down care is vital if we are to tackle the ever-growing waiting times experienced by patients in my region and across Wales. Of course, if a previous Welsh Government had not closed community hospitals and overseen the removal…

Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: Cancer Services Improvement Plan
Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer. Great achievement, Minister. Now, people from deprived areas of Wales face worse outcomes when it comes to lung cancer, ovarian cancer or other cancers, and my concern is, which was raised by Laura as well, about…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Minister, the fact that we don’t always have a smooth transition between healthcare and social care has placed our NHS under a tremendous burden. Nowhere is this more evident than in end-of-life care. At the cross-party group on hospices and palliative care…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
Minister, we all accept the need to decarbonise our steel industry. While the funding being offered by the UK Government to Tata to move to electric arc furnaces is welcome, an alternative has emerged in the past few days. Scientists at the University of…

Debt and the impact of the rising cost of living: evidence session 1
Yes. Peter, you’ve said that there is a need to scale up alternatives to high-cost credit to help households avoid the harmful credit safety net. What should the Welsh Government be looking to do in this area?

Debt and the impact of the rising cost of living: evidence session 1
Thanks very much. Thank you. Yes, it needs reform and we need to have the legislation for it. Is there any scope for the Welsh Government to introduce measures to write off debts owed by people to public bodies, and what lessons can be learned from the…

Debt and the impact of the rising cost of living: evidence session 1
Thank you, Chair, and good afternoon. Firstly, are there any particular recommendations in the committee's report on debt and the pandemic that we should follow up with the Minister, and what outcomes would you like to see from this? Now, coming to the…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice
Thank you, Minister. It's not just in public spaces that women do not feel safe. Even in the House of Commons Chamber, women face vile misogyny. Labour MP Rosie Duffield, during a recent speech on the Scottish gender reform Bill, was subject to vile abuse…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice
Thank you for that response, Minister. If only the WRU could be more like the FAW, who are to be congratulated for bringing in equal pay for male and female footballers. Of course, it behoves all of us to tackle misogyny head on. Chwarae Teg recently launched…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice
Thank you very much, Presiding Officer. Minister, on Monday, allegations about rampant sexism and misogyny at the WRU resurfaced. We watched as harrowing tales unfolded of women who had contemplated suicide as a result of sexist bullying. All the while…
