Thank you very much. We'll move on because of time being limited, but I appreciate those responses. So, the other questions quickly. We've heard from Albert Heaney today, as we've heard from him over the years, of course, but we are hearing from him in his…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Access to defibrillators
We will be supporting this motion today. This isn't a party political matter, of course. I've worked on joint statements with Labour and Conservative Members in the past on this issue, and what is in front of us today is sensible and asks for basic and…

Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: Update on COVID-19
Thank you very much, Dirprwy Lywydd. Yes, there are things that haven't been decided yet. Vaccine passports are one of those things. I think that the Welsh Government is correct to keep the option open. I note that Sajid Javid in Westminster today has…

Questions to the First Minister
He can't even keep a straight face.
13 July 2021 , Plenary
Questions to the First Minister
Thank you for those words. You're certainly right that it's about weighing up risks, and given the nature of the debate in some quarters now, some people will listen to me today and to you and think that I'm being overcautious, that I'm being too risk averse…
13 July 2021 , Plenary
Questions to the First Minister
Thank you. I was asking you to give your view on what you think is responsible or irresponsible in Wales, and I do encourage you to retain the requirement to wear a face covering in all locations where people come into close contact, including in shops. I…
13 July 2021 , Plenary
Questions to the First Minister
Now, do you agree, given that you are saving those around you by wearing a face covering—it provides some protection for yourself too, of course—that scrapping the need for face coverings now is irresponsible?

'moral emptiness and epidemiological stupidity'.

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you very much, Llywydd. Yes, it's less than a week, now, until COVID restrictions are removed entirely in England. The chair of the BMA council, Dr Chaand Nagpaul, has described the timing, as the number of cases increases quickly, as being…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
I want to finish, Llywydd, if I may, by turning to long COVID. It's a huge concern for me. I have huge concerns about young people, if truth be told, at the moment, as restrictions are relaxed. We'll have an opportunity to discuss that again. But I want to…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
If I could turn next to orthopaedic services, there are huge challenges facing you in building capacity. I and every other Member here, I'm sure, will have heard about far too many patients waiting far, far too long in pain. In April of this year, there were…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you very much, Llywydd. I want to ask about the recovery of the health service too and reference a number of areas. I, too, will refer to this backlog in terms of cancer diagnosis, looking at a different aspect of that. It's a concern to think that…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
It's important that people understand that it's not some kind of Brexit dividend, for example, because, in principle, one could have had free-port status while still in the European Union. And, as the Minister said, people need to understand that the UK…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
The UK Government mustn't 'create a 'Welsh Freeport'...for optical or political purposes.'
7 July 2021 , Plenary
Questions to the Minister for Economy
Thank you for that response. We need to consider every option for new opportunities for the port of Holyhead in my constituency; I've looked at the possibilities of creating a free port for many years. But we need to be very clear about the possible benefits…
