Jack, did you want to come in?

Sure. The question was about—going back to the other question, where the health boards know and the Welsh Government doesn't, but no, you've answered the question now. Sorry, Joyce.

They don't collect it either.

Joyce, do you mind if I just come in? Is it that you don't know, but the relevant organisations and health boards do know?

I think it's more of a case of whether you feel comfortable giving it to us, but I understand your reasons why you wouldn't want to do that, of course. Thank you for that. Joyce Watson, did you have a question on this?

Just in case you missed the first part of that as you were putting on your earsets, Rhun was asking if there's any part of the UK where this data isn't available.

All right. Thank you. That's great. Rhun ap Iorwerth.

I think you've answered the question as is needed, unless there's anything you want to add.

I'll just ask Jack to come in first.

The point I'm making is that each organisation and health board has that information—there it is, drop it in an e-mail to the Government and the Welsh Government puts it together and it's easily available. It's much better to have a technological solution for…

I'm just trying to simplify it a bit more. Each organisation and health board will have that data. Can't you just write that down on a bit of paper and pass it to the Government and say, 'This is it' and add it all together? Or is that simplistic?

That was a good question, Jack. Is there any reason why Welsh Government wouldn't have that data? I would have thought it's information that is—. There's no secret in the information. It needs to be shared to help Welsh Government plan. Is there a reason why…

Thank you. Just to follow up on Jack Sargeant's question, I suppose, and to understand more about your role—. I ask the question in the context of the current negotiations and views in terms of nurses' pay and conditions. I'm just trying to understand how you…

A lot of what you've mentioned I think Members have got some specific questions on, so they'll pick those up later in the session. Are there any specific challenges in terms of the midwifery workforce that you would like to highlight?
26 Ionawr 2023 , Health and Social Care Committee
Craffu ar waith Prif Swyddog Nyrsio Cymru
Thank you, Sue, for that. You've listed some of the challenges already, but in terms of setting the context for the rest of the session, perhaps just bullet-point what you think the challenges are, not just for the workforce within the community, but also in…

Thank you. Members will have various questions this morning, but if I can kick off with the first: is the nursing workforce in crisis?

Thank you all. We move to item 5, and this is in regard to scrutiny of the chief nursing officer. This session today will provide us with an opportunity to hear about the chief nursing officer's priorities and nursing and midwifery professions in Wales, and…
