Will you take an intervention?

Debate: Broadcasting
No, absolutely not, and I think modern technology and the accessibility of S4C, not only in Wales and across the UK, is actually something to be proud of, and the fact that we can actually promote our Welsh language on a wider scale than what we would have…

Debate: Broadcasting
It's a pleasure to take part in this debate this afternoon. I've really enjoyed listening to the contributions, even though I don't agree with everything that's been said. I'm also a big tv and radio fan, so it's really good to take part in this this…

Questions to the First Minister
I appreciate your response, First Minister. Thank you. This week is Men's Health Week, marked right up until Father's Day on Sunday. It is hoped that it will help spur men into thinking more about their health. And, really, we're particularly bad at looking…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board
Healthcare, unfortunately, in the Vale of Clwyd, is a real mess and has been for many, many years now, as successive Labour Governments have failed to get a grip on recruitment issues. You only have to look at the Betsi Cadwaladr website. I think, currently…

Debate on the Report of the Special Purpose Committee on Senedd Reform—Reforming our Senedd: A stronger voice for the people of Wales
It's no surprise this afternoon that I cannot support the expansion of the Senedd, and therefore I'll be voting against the motion before us tonight; it's not the afternoon now, is it? So, what we have before us tonight is a plan for more politicians, not a…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with academics
That's really helpful. Thank you very much. That's all from me.

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with academics
Yes, absoutely.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Mental health inequalities: evidence session with academics
I totally agree, and I think we need to marry up those two a bit better and improve provision in that sense. So, just to question about an issue about the one-size-fits-all approach, obviously, we've got different demographics and different geography across…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with academics
Thank you, Chair. Good morning, everybody. I suppose, in a way, I can sort of informally declare an interest, as I was diagnosed as dyspraxic at the age of seven, and I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2019/2020, so to say I've been to hell and back has…

Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: Update on Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board
Thank you for your statement this afternoon, Minister. The sad reality is that, back in the 1980s and the 1990s, Glan Clwyd Hospital was one of the best-performing hospitals not only in Wales but the UK, so it's sad to see how times have changed, to say the…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, we saw a massive rise in the number of children on a protection register even before the pandemic, so Lord only knows what the situation is truly like now. Because we know that social services are under tremendous strain, short staffed and…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Post-Brexit funding
It was therefore shocking when it not only failed on all counts as Wales once again qualified for structural funds. Even after the EU was expanded by the admission of former Warsaw pact states from the east of Europe, despite billions of euros being pumped…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Post-Brexit funding
No. I would have accepted if I was taking an intervention.

Plaid Cymru Debate: Post-Brexit funding
I'm not speaking this afternoon to be an apologist for the UK Government. However, I do take issue with Plaid's motion this afternoon and the stance of their puppet masters in the Welsh Government. Wales will not be £1 billion worse off in unreplaced funding…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Decarbonising public sector pensions
I want to thank Jack Sargeant for tabling this important debate this afternoon. I don't totally agree with the entire premise of the motion, but it's still important, at the same time, that we have the debate. I will say from the outset that decarbonisation…

Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government
Thank you for that answer, Minister. As you can imagine, my constituents are extremely frustrated by this situation. Almost a year and a half after the destruction of the historic Llannerch bridge, the communities of Trefnant and Tremeirchion remain isolated…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Social Services: The Learning Disability Action Plan
Thank you very much for your statement this afternoon, Deputy Minister. And, whilst I welcome the statement and the publication of the learning disability strategic action plan, I'm afraid the plan is once again a set of aspirations and warm words, not a plan…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Professor Sir Sam Everington
I appreciate that answer, Sam and, just to follow up on that one, really, is just to ask about the evidence around the quality of the outcomes for the individuals and then for things like return on investment and then reducing the pressure and the burden on…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Professor Sir Sam Everington
Thank you very much, Chair, and good afternoon, Sam. I was just wondering if you could provide a bit more detail about how social prescribing works in your own practice at Bromley by Bow Centre, including some referral routes, and the role of the prescriber…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Mind Cymru and Leonard Cheshire
In terms of investment, would that mean going along the lines of the framework or further training for social prescribers, so they're getting that appropriate level of care put in place, and they're being directed to the right places?
