Bil Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol (Cymru): darparu gwasanaethau gofal cymdeithasol i blant - sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda darparwyr preifat ac annibynnol a chyrff cynrychioliadol
Thank you, Chair. The Children's Homes Association say in their evidence to us that the Welsh Government hasn't learned the lessons of the Competition and Markets Authority reports as to how to make the market in the care of looked-after children work better…

Bil Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol (Cymru): darparu gwasanaethau gofal cymdeithasol i blant - sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda darparwyr nid-er-elw
Okay, Chair. Thank you. First of all, to say that I take very seriously all the points we've heard this morning about the need to plan properly for transition. I think we've heard some very important, practical issues that we need to make sure are known by…

Ymchwiliad i Atebolrwydd Aelodau Unigol o'r Senedd: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
One of the things that is troubling me—and I'll ask it to Jennifer, in a way—is trust in politics is particularly eroded amongst some parts of the population whose views some of us may not like or share, including those people who I think you may have been…

Just to make it clear, that is not what we're proposing. When this committee will set a series of tests, the Senedd will have decided that somebody has failed that test. It's not saying to people, 'This person may have told you something untrue or not'; we…

We started all this by talking about the need to restore trust, people's trust in the political system. The resolution I suggested to you, incorporating this issue within the standards procedure, would trust the electorate to make the final determination. I…

Ymchwiliad i Atebolrwydd Aelodau Unigol o'r Senedd: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Chair, I've got two points I want to pursue. Given that we just heard the case again as to why the courts are a preferable forum for resolving these matters, maybe I'll take that one first. The committee is, other than in this session, looking at the whole…

The difficulty will be that there will be some evidence that some vaccination does do some harm to some people. It will be very limited numbers of cases, and the good that is done to the vast majority through vaccination will have outweighed the harm done to…

I'll just finish. Just one moment. I won't be long. I'm just more interested in those areas where fact and opinion collide in a much less clear-cut way than the two examples you've just rehearsed. I'm not asking you for legal advice, I'm just asking you for…

I'm afraid I think my example is much more pertinent to the committee than the two you've just offered us. One is clearly a matter of fact, the other is clearly a matter of opinion. What I'm—

Thank you very much for being with us this morning. I'll just start by echoing what the Chair said in opening—that the committee will always be very anxious to find ways of upholding the highest standards of integrity and probity in the operation of the…

Cefnogi pobl sydd â chyflyrau cronig: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol
Chair, I've probably run out of my time, but if, later on, there is a moment, I would have liked to have asked the Cabinet Secretary about what I think is one of the great successes of her time as health Minister, and that's contract reform in primary care…

So, here’s my second group of questions, which is about professional workers, and I think the committee, previous members of the committee, have heard contradictory evidence on this. They've heard lots of evidence. I'd say the predominant amount of evidence…

I won’t have a chance to ask about e-cigarettes, but Joyce might later, but saturation zones, as they're called in the alcohol field—. My constituency is full of e-cigarette outlets; nobody could argue there is a commercial need for another one, but it's very…

Thank you, Heather. So, look, just one further point in this first group. If we want to persuade people to take the actions that only they can take in their own lives—and I think, Minister, you've already said this, really—doesn't Government have a…

Your paper, Cabinet Secretary, makes it clear in the early stages the enormous pressures that are faced in the health service by people with chronic conditions, and on pages 15 and 16 you set out the precipitating background conditions that explain some of…

Thank you. Do you mind, Chair, if I add one final—? It's an observation, perhaps, more than a question. We've heard about the trade-off between the petitions system and the one-day system. I think we were told last week that in the Belfast case, the one that…

Thank you. That's very clear, Mick. A final question from me. I'm leaving the issues of a threshold aside for now, because you rehearsed those very well with Peredur. So, my question, then, is—. So, we've heard a witness this morning describe that one stage…
