Thank you, James, for tabling this important discussion here tonight in the Senedd. Whereas it's welcome, obviously, that we're talking about broadening the scope of community healthcare provision in rural areas, I believe we're having a conversation around…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education
This individual is one of the most evil sex offenders in Welsh history, and there was a litany of failures, negligence, red flags that were missed that allowed this abuse to continue unchallenged. Perhaps the most shocking of the allegations is that Neil…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government
I don't think the Welsh Government's position on rent controls is clear, because you have flirted with rent controls in the past, and have consulted on this topic, with the idea, thankfully, being ruled out, albeit tepidly, from the Government. But I'd…

May I please have a statement from the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care on ambulance waits in north Wales? In June, an 82-year-old lady died at Glan Clwyd Hospital, following more than a 14-hour wait for an ambulance, after she collapsed in her…

Plaid Cymru Debate: UK Government Budget
I do agree with some of the sentiments that you say about taxing the rich, but would you agree that has to be done in a fair and proportionate way so that we avoid a system like the 1970s, when we had a mass exodus of wealth and talent that contributes such…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
I'm pleased you've had those discussions with James Evans regarding his legislative proposal, but, again, the question is about the Measure. The Measure has been in place for 14 years, and it compels healthcare professionals, mental health practitioners to…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
I appreciate that response, and I understand the remarks you make in terms of the Act, but my question is more along the lines of the Measure and what we can do as a Welsh Parliament, and, indeed, you as a Welsh Government, in order to expand what was passed…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
Diolch, Llywydd. Firstly, I’d like to address the Mental Health (Wales) Measure 2010 and how this interreacts with the Mental Health Act 1983. There is, of course, uncertainty regarding the Mental Health Act, as Keir Starmer’s Government has promised to…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning

Thank you, First Minister, although I'm afraid that's not going to wash, as 30,000 people in Conwy and Denbighshire will lose their winter fuel payments this year, with both set to become the hardest-hit counties in the United Kingdom as a result of this…

I appreciate that. Just finally, to what extent do you believe that the tertiary education and training sector currently supports the development and use of Welsh language skills and how these might change under the Bill?

So, the adequate mechanisms aren't in place, then, currently, I'm assuming, in your view.

Thank you very much, Chair, and good morning, everybody. How do you see the tertiary education sector fitting into the national framework for Welsh language education and learning Welsh? Does the Bill make adequate and appropriate references to the sector in…

Welsh Language and Education (Wales) Bill - evidence session 14
Thank you. Is the Bill's definition and use of the term 'Welsh language education' sufficiently clear in the Bill? For example, is there enough distinction between the teaching of Welsh as a subject and the provision and training through the medium of Welsh…
, Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Welsh Language and Education (Wales) Bill - evidence session 14
Thank you. So, am I correct in assuming that you don't believe that there are adequate mechanisms in place at present from your perspective, then, in regard to the Bill?
, Children, Young People, and Education Committee
