17 January 2023Plenary
Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: Update on meeting with NHS trade unions
I talked to nurses on the picket line, because I wanted to hear their views as well, and they did say to me that it's not just about money, but it's also about work-life pressures as well. Many are doing 12-hour shifts. And there's a lack of flexibility as…

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Flooding
Diolch. I welcome this statement, and also the investment in coastal defence in north Wales, which is significant. Flooding, like rainfall, impacts on our highway infrastructure, roads, bridges and pavements, and we’ve seen what’s happened in north Wales…

Questions to the First Minister
I've also been meeting with the leader of Denbighshire and officers and I was shocked now at the cost—due to inflationary pressures, it could be an £82 million capital build. I understand that capital funding has been cut by 11 per cent over the next few…

Scrutiny of the Welsh Government Draft Budget 2023 - 24 - evidence session 2: Minister for Finance and Local Government
Just earlier on in evidence—I don't know if you were listening—Andrew Morgan, the leader of RCT, was saying it's a daily battle sometimes just to ensure that the current learner travel Measure is delivered, ensuring that there are enough operators just to…

Thank you. Thanks, Chair.
12 January 2023Local Government and Housing Committee
Scrutiny of the Welsh Government Draft Budget 2023 - 24 - evidence session 2: Minister for Finance and Local Government
Okay. It would be good if I could just make a bid for it now, because in my column it does say 'active and sustainable travel' next to it, so it would be nice to make that bid for the road resilience fund, because it's the cyclists and pedestrians who are…

Scrutiny of the Welsh Government Draft Budget 2023 - 24 - evidence session 2: Minister for Finance and Local Government
I just want to ask some questions regarding capital funding and borrowing, and your thoughts on whether the allocation of £180 million in general capital funding provides sufficient capital. Earlier, we did hear—. They welcome the extra funding, but there…

12 January 2023Local Government and Housing Committee
Scrutiny of the Welsh Government Draft Budget 2023-24 - evidence session 1: local government
Okay. So, if the learner travel Measure did change, you would have to try and provide more of a service. That could be an issue for you, because it's difficult providing the current service. Okay. I see you nodding. Thank you. And then, just finally, how…

Scrutiny of the Welsh Government Draft Budget 2023-24 - evidence session 1: local government
Thank you. Earlier, you talked about the re-tendering of contracts and the extra costs now being incurred. I just want to ask about home-to-school transport, which seems to be a particular concern. I know another committee is looking at the Learner Travel…

12 January 2023Local Government and Housing Committee
Scrutiny of the Welsh Government Draft Budget 2023-24 - evidence session 1: local government
Just one more, really, about the resilience of you, going forward, delivering some of these capital projects. I know you said earlier about having planning officers, drainage officers and delivering the active travel fund, even, having highway technical…

Scrutiny of the Welsh Government Draft Budget 2023-24 - evidence session 1: local government
Thank you, Chair. I just want to ask you questions about capital funding and to what extent do you believe that the £180 million that's been allocated provides you with sufficient funds to implement Welsh Government's commitments to prioritise the most…

Papers to note
Just on 3.4, and the letter from the First Minister about Qatar, he has listed the objectives about promoting Wales, projecting values, ensuring the safety of Welsh citizens whilst there, and it goes on as well to mention a few other objectives about the…

Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: Evidence session with national broadcasters
I was just wondering how you make those connections with education, with leaving school, once they get to high school, as well as further education. Glyndŵr university have got an area when they're looking at schools, and Theatr Clwyd and Coleg Llandrillo are…

Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: Evidence session with national broadcasters
You said about creating pathways, then, for people from diverse backgrounds. I was just wondering, how do you create these pathways for people who are going through education to know what jobs are out there? The variety is quite diverse and wide, isn't it…
