Okay, diolch.

I guess, does the Welsh Government have a granular grasp of the extent of that stretch, and what it's going to take in order to achieve it?

Welsh Language and Education (Wales) Bill - evidence session 16
Just in terms of the trajectory of change that we've seen over the last 10, 20 years, for example, is that realistic? Is it a stretch target to expect that level of change within the next 10 or so years, as you've said?

Chair, could I just ask a quick follow-up on that?

Sorry, thank you, yes. We're talking about the terminally ill here, not people with anorexia. You're twisting the debate.

If we value all lives, surely we value the right of individuals to make choices about their lives and how their lives end.

Would the Member give way?

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Assisted dying
Thank you. These examples you're citing are not examples that would fall within the legislation that's being discussed in the UK at the moment, are they?

& 9. The general principles of the Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill and the financial resolution in respect of the Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill
Thank you. I don't think it is about demonising the private sector, but I accept your point that capacity is constrained, and it's about allowing local authorities to build capacity. Wouldn't he agree that what is inappropriate is putting out to tender some…

Statement by the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs: The Climate Adaptation Strategy
Diolch. It's clear from the strategy that the impact of climate change is not simply an environmental issue. It's a health issue. It's an economy issue. It affects buildings, transport networks, food and water security. Now, we know that there is one…

Okay, thank you.

Welsh Language and Education (Wales) Bill - evidence session 15
Despite those misgivings, you still support a statutory target.
17 October 2024 , Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Welsh Language and Education (Wales) Bill - evidence session 15
Did you have any thoughts on potential unintended consequences of the target on a steady-state resource and skills base?
17 October 2024 , Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Welsh Language and Education (Wales) Bill - evidence session 15
Yes.
17 October 2024 , Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Welsh Language and Education (Wales) Bill - evidence session 15
Can I just ask you to elaborate a little on what in particular you think is woolly?
17 October 2024 , Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Welsh Language and Education (Wales) Bill - evidence session 15
So, if that is the case, hypothetically, what do you think the effect of having a target in the statute book will be? What sorts of unintended consequences might it drive?

Can I just finish my point?
17 October 2024 , Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Welsh Language and Education (Wales) Bill - evidence session 15
Can I just come back on that? So, I think you're, essentially, saying that, if the resources are there and if the skills are provided, the target will be useful and is achievable and if it's just left to fight for resource with every other priority, then it's…

It's just to test your support for the principle of putting the target on the face of the Bill, and what the sector's view of the implications of that might be.
17 October 2024 , Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Welsh Language and Education (Wales) Bill - evidence session 14
Okay, thank you.
17 October 2024 , Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Welsh Language and Education (Wales) Bill - evidence session 14
So, can I try and interpret that? Are you saying that you don’t feel there’s particular value in having the target on the face of the Bill?
