Diolch yn fawr, Minister, for bringing forward, today, this statement on this Bill. As a party, we absolutely support this, and we have, over the years, religiously made many calls to the Welsh Government to bring this Bill forward and quickly. This, of…

Business Statement and Announcement
I would like to request two statements. I found out last week that Conwy County Borough Council is paying its own care home 57 per cent more than privately-run care homes who are providing the same, exact level of care. Conwy's awarding itself £1,136 per…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch. First Minister, increasing house prices have left young people feeling they've been effectively priced out of the market, with many worried that they will never be able to get their feet on the housing ladder. It's clear to everyone that the target of…

All of them. [Laughter.]

And then which of the four priority areas—net-zero buildings, mobility and transport, sustainable procurement, and land use—which of those do you believe present the greatest challenge for the NHS in Wales?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP)
Resources.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP)
Funding wise?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP)
And is it well supported by Welsh Government, in terms of resources? And how well do you feel—? How often do you meet, and then what comes out? Things like, are the minutes published, so that people can keep track of how the board is operating?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP)
Right. The NHS Wales climate change group decarbonisation board—is that now in place, and what work has it undertaken to date?

Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP)
I do feel sorry, really, because certainly, Ysbyty Gwynedd and Ysbyty Glan Clwyd—gosh, those buildings that have flat roofs and lots of ground space. In those days, they thought, perhaps, that was the building for the future, because it looked very…

Thanks. Yes, I was just waiting for the mikes there. Do you believe that you're on track to meet the actions set out in the NHS Wales decarbonisation strategic delivery plan, and what are your views on how achievable the actions to 2030 are?

Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA)
Thank you.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA)
Given the declaration of a climate emergency, and time has moved on since then, do you agree with the public sector emissions reporting being voluntary rather than mandatory?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA)
Costs—have you made any analysis of the costs of achieving net zero by 2030? And have you also raised with the Welsh Government how those costs might be met?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA)
And do you ever—? This is just thinking outside the box. I know it's limited to local authorities at the moment, but with things like our health boards, there's a clear direction, isn't there, with health and social care becoming more integrated. Do you ever…

Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA)
And you feel that you are able, as the WLGA, to support those local authorities to deliver the aims and ambitions and the milestones contained in the route-map.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA)
Thanks, Andrew. How effective do you think the public sector route-map is in providing a strategic direction to achieve those goals and for public sector bodies to decarbonise?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA)
What or how should or could the Welsh Government be doing more to better support collaboration across all local authorities to ensure that we achieve 2030 ambitions?

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
Thank you. And then, another issue that arose was the moneys that you have spent on registered social housing, so £8.7 million, and £1.9 million provided to Cardiff Community Housing Association. I understand there are two blocks in the bay here where the…
, Plenary
Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
Yes, so tell us how you’re spending it, how much of that £375 million is left, and will you honour these surveys that these victims actually then—? They’re trying to sort this issue out themselves. Thank you.
