Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill : provision of social care services to children - evidence session with ADSS Cymru
I just didn't see how those two things came together. Thank you.

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill : provision of social care services to children - evidence session with ADSS Cymru
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding this, but it's not what I was understanding, that any Minister would have a hands-on, predetermined scope to do what you just described. My understanding was the transition period for different types of services, rather than an…

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill : provision of social care services to children - evidence session with ADSS Cymru
It does say that—and it carries on to the next bit, just to continue where you've left off—in the regulation-making powers of the Bill, there is an allowance for Welsh Ministers to determine the end of the transition period and the ability to set different…

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill : provision of social care services to children - evidence session with ADSS Cymru
Thank you. I'm not going to ask some of the other questions, because they've clearly been answered in previous questions. But one of the questions talks about the time frame from the WLGA for transitioning from that market, the mixed market, to a non-profit…

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill : provision of social care services to children - evidence session with ADSS Cymru
Good afternoon. I'd like to know or have an idea of your understanding of the national number of new not-for-profit placements that are required and what are the biggest challenges in delivering them? We've just heard one from Craig. What more could the Welsh…

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: provision of social care services to children - evidence session with private and independent providers and representative bodies
I'm particularly going to go back to residential care and the comments that you've made that there's no significant level of preparatory activity taking place to achieve the total number of residential care places that would be needed if you have this…

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: provision of social care services to children - evidence session with private and independent providers and representative bodies
Good morning. I'm going to ask about potential barriers. I think that's what we've been hearing, really, so far. But, on the specific barriers, I'd be interested to know how many will transition to not-for-profit status. In the evidence from children's home…

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: provision of social care services to children - evidence session with not-for-profit providers
I was just going to ask: is that as a consequence directly of the Bill, or was that the case anyway? Just for clarity, so that we know what we're going to report back. But also we've met, obviously, with the Minister taking this through, and it's been—. We've…

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: provision of social care services to children - evidence session with not-for-profit providers
Yes. This will be the last question from me. So, the preparatory work for delivering the Bill, what is your view of that, including what's being delivered by local authorities as a result of the £68 million allocated by Welsh Government to support that…

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: provision of social care services to children - evidence session with not-for-profit providers
Yes. I was going to ask Sarah—and I take very seriously the points that you're making—. The idea, as I understand it from the Bill, is to give people better terms and conditions at work, and a greater value, by removing that excess profit, and reinvesting…

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: provision of social care services to children - evidence session with not-for-profit providers
Yes. Good morning, everybody. I'm going to examine any potential barriers to the implementation of the Bill. So, Barnardo's, you did say that social care in Wales is not currently in a state from which to make a significant change and that there's a…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport
Thank you for that. There's been a lot of discussion about the data today, and we all know that it's a snapshot in time and that data can fluctuate and change. One of the interesting things that has come out is that the insurance company Esure are seeing a 20…

General scrutiny of the Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport
Yes, people will be concerned about the decarbonisation and the targets for 2028. So, you've got 50 per cent of the bus fleet to be zero tailpipe emissions by 2028; we haven't got much time. And also the other group of people that are anxious to meet this but…

General scrutiny of the Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport
There was, of course, the differential—and we propped it up with public funds—between the farebox and the running cost. Has that gap closed?

General scrutiny of the Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport
Yes, we're going down the track. [Laughter.] So, how do you consider Transport for Wales's recent rail performance? Do you think it's satisfactory, or are you looking for further improvement?

General scrutiny of the Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport
There was supposed to be a delivery plan that was set to be delivered by 2020. But I'm going to go back to one of the earlier questions I asked about justice within active travel. If you try to buy a bike, you need a few bucks in the bank to do that. The…

General scrutiny of the Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport
There has to be some progress, so do you want to give us an update on some of that progress?

General scrutiny of the Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport
Active travel hasn't increased to the levels of your predecessor, and you were just discussing some of that now. Will there be an impact on meeting the 2030 target set out in 'Net Zero Wales'? How will you mitigate that reduced spending?

General scrutiny of the Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport
Good. I'm really, really pleased to hear that, because I think one of the first things I ever, ever came across was fatalities on a road of children under five in a very deprived area, and called for reduction of speed.
26 June 2024 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
General scrutiny of the Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport
You did mention a housing estate, and I'm particularly interested in the effect on deprived areas, because their voices might not be as well reflected as other people's voices within those same communities. And, of course, if you look at collision and injury…

General scrutiny of the Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
It's a very quick one, and you can write to me. Climate change, we know, is happening. The Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences have invested heavily—we've invested in IBERS—in alternative plants and methods. So, if you could give us an…
