Evidence session - P-06-1161 Routine collection and publication of data of how many babies/children return to their care-experienced parents care at the end of a Parent and Child Placement
Minister, do you think that care leavers have had that stigma attached to them and that social services and other professional bodies judge them as soon as they find out that they are care leavers? Do you think they have that element of being judged and then…

Diolch, Chair. Thank you, Minister, for joining us today. I and the Chair visited a group of young care leavers with Voices From Care, and I was dismayed at the stories and the life experience that they relayed to us. It was almost as if they had failed…

Thank you, Chair. This petition really did take off, didn't it? And rightly so. I'm pleased to say that Public Health Wales recognised their failings in the way that this was presented to the public. It actually put the fear of god into some women, thinking…

Thank you, Chair. I'd like to thank the petitioner for bringing this petition forward once again. I note that the Minister has made it clear that each health board is responsible for its own level of epilepsy support. Well, that's all well and good, but I'd…

Evidence session: P-06-1253 Ban greyhound racing in Wales

Evidence session: P-06-1253 Ban greyhound racing in Wales
Thank you, Chair. Thinking about the social and economic aspects of racing, what impact do you think that would have if there was an outright ban on greyhound racing?

Thank you, Chair. I'd just like to reiterate what you said there about when we visited Voices from Care Cymru—it was a real eye-opener, and left me feeling quite sad, really, to think that we're not—. It almost feels like we're not doing all we can to ensure…
