Welsh Government Draft Budget 2022-23: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services, the Deputy Minister for Social Services and the Deputy Minister for Mental Health and Well-being
I don't have another question.

Can I very quickly ask you to look at what Hywel Dda are doing in terms of recruiting some additional social care workers, and the learning from that? They haven't poached the local government employees. There must be some learning from that pilot that…

I'm going to ask about the social care workforce. You started by talking about the minimum living wage, but we need to address the immediate urgent need of the severe shortages across the social care workforce, and beyond that living wage. The Trades Union…

I want to talk about capital spending. You've already said, Minister, that it might be an area where there could be some risk because it's £53 million less than the revised final budget for this year, and capital investment, according to the Welsh NHS…

My final one. We see the increase in nurse training, but we know that people are leaving, whether that's because of Brexit or whether it's because of some of the stresses that I've already highlighted. So, to understand the fit between the increase in…

Thank you for your answer on the workforce. Lots of people mentioned agency nurses, and that they're expensive. Well, there are two things, and this is my question to you in terms of budget. I think there's probably some work going on and it would be useful…

Welsh Government Draft Budget 2022-23: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services, the Deputy Minister for Social Services and the Deputy Minister for Mental Health and Well-being
Just a small question. When you talk about value-based care, one of the big issues that has really come to the fore is that the mental health of people suffered through isolation. And that drives them, then, to their GP—sometimes just to simply have a chat…

Thank you. Good morning, everybody. I've been a Member of the Senedd now for near on 15 years, and it is the case that Hywel Dda have been in debt all of that time. We know it's historic, but we're here again, and obviously Betsi Cadwaladr as well. So, my…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice
We should recognise, of course, that Wales has led the way in the UK on tackling modern slavery. We were the first country in the UK to appoint an anti-trafficking lead when Carl Sargeant was Minister, and that role has been supported by groups like Bawso and…

Questions to the First Minister
It is indeed a scary time for lots of people living in Wales. We see inflation out of control, and we see fuel price rises immediately on the way. Of course, in Wales, the Labour Government has the Warm Homes programme, steadily retrofitting fuel-inefficient…

Statement by the First Minister: Update on COVID-19
First Minister, what I would like to hear from you is a big 'thank you' to the teachers who have kept the schools open, very often in difficult circumstances because of reduced numbers, and also a request, ahead of the shops reopening under greater…

Marine environment management - evidence session 4: blue carbon and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)
Can I just ask one question? Since I can't hear most of what you're saying, Sean, because of your mike, can I ask, if you have any data—because that was going to be my question, about those examples I'm sure that you said but I couldn't hear, in seaweed…

Marine environment management - evidence session 4: blue carbon and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)
The WWF has said that we should expand and have an ambition to develop seaweed opportunities. Do you want to tell us what you mean by that?

Marine environment management - evidence session 4: blue carbon and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)
I'm moving on to seaweed.

Marine environment management - evidence session 4: blue carbon and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)
You've pre-empted my question, because that was going to be what I was going to ask: who should be on the group and where should it feed back?

Marine environment management - evidence session 4: blue carbon and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)
I want to ask about the need for a national blue carbon recovery plan. The Marine Conservation Society has particularly suggested this, so my question is to you, Clare.

Marine environment management - evidence session 3: marine planning and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)
It will be our last question, I suspect, with the time. Just feedback, really, on recent stakeholder engagement with the Welsh Government, just to round it all off.

Marine environment management - evidence session 3: marine planning and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)
Just on the marine development plan, it's very focused on certain elements of activity that have been described. But one of the new activities that are increasing is the fact that people are holidaying more frequently in the UK, and particularly in Wales…

Marine environment management - evidence session 2: marine energy developers
Yes, I just thought it wraps it all up, really, doesn't it? You talked about different elements coming together, and the one place that they could all come together is the strategic marine development plan, and sit in one place. Would you find that useful?
9 December 2021 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Marine environment management - evidence session 2: marine energy developers
I have, and I'm going to pick up from where Jess started, about being risk averse. We have to be seen to be ensuring that what we do to give ourselves energy doesn't actually destroy what we currently have in the sea. I had to pick that up, so I did. You've…

Marine environment management - evidence session 1: Natural Resources Wales
I do—it's scallop dredging in Cardigan bay. That's an activity that we do know is happening, and I'm going to declare my species to champion, which is the dolphin, and the dolphins live off scallops. But it's not just about the dolphin, although it clearly is…
