Atal iechyd gwael – gordewdra: sesiynau tystiolaeth - Panel 5
We've discussed ‘Healthy Weight: Healthy Wales’, and I note your views that there are good ideas in there, but in terms of implementation and practical impact, it's not really as significant and effective as it should be. You pointed to some ways in which it…

Yes, I'm sure it would take some time to get the various professionals aware and thinking and acting in the right way.

You've got health centres starting to develop a little bit in Wales now, haven't you, bringing a lot of services into the community. There's one just opened in Newport East, which I represent, which has physical and mental health services there—a range of…

Atal iechyd gwael – gordewdra: sesiynau tystiolaeth - Panel 5
Diolch, Cadeirydd. I think we’ve already covered an awful lot of ground that very much addresses issues around complexity of obesity, but perhaps there may be a few things that you might want to add. When we look at the complexity of the condition, as you’ve…

Sticking with health, back in December the Cabinet Secretary told the committee there's adequate funding in the draft budget to allow the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care to make inroads into hospital waiting lists and waiting times, and for him…

I just wonder, before I go on, if we just look at the issue—I know we haven't got much time, Chair—of digital infrastructure in the NHS, because we heard from the Welsh NHS Confederation that that digital infrastructure, if it was improved, if it was put in…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. The Institute for Fiscal Studies, Cabinet Secretary, told the committee, in its view, it didn’t detect from the draft budget documentation the necessary sense of urgency to tackle issues around performance and productivity in Welsh public…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. There's plenty of food for thought, isn't there, for all of us, I think, as committee Chairs. If we get back to forecasts, the committee has heard that funding for the next financial year may be relatively generous compared to the years…

Thanks for that, Cabinet Secretary. I do think it's important to make that positive case for the tax levers that Welsh Government has and their use and their benefit, so that will certainly be welcomed. Moving on to some comments to the committee from the…

Okay. Diolch yn fawr. Finally from me, then, Cadeirydd, in terms of COVID-19—again, I'm sure this will be a matter of the way you work with health boards in terms of the funding that they generally receive. Are you confident that the health boards will meet…

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26
Yes, I see. Okay, if we move on to agency staff, this is something that's been an issue in the NHS for ever and a day, I guess, and getting those rates of use of agency staff down is a big help to the health board's budgets, isn't it? So, in terms of how you…
