Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
There are clearly broader implications. You've had this report for four months, Minister—four months it's been lying around. I find it, frankly, very disturbing that you're only just starting to have these conversations about whether there are wider…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Minister, it's been four months since that report was published. I cannot fathom why, in that period of four months, those individuals who were responsible for these actions have not been dismissed from that health board. Not only are these unprofessional…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Diolch, Llywydd. Minister, people across north Wales are pretty angry at the moment about what is happening in the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board. I was given an anonymous copy of the Ernst & Young forensic report of accounting issues at the board…

Statement by the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd: Strengthening our ties with Ireland and the North-west of England
Thank you, Minister, for your statement. I'm delighted, as an Irish citizen as well as being a British citizen, and someone who was born in Manchester, that you are talking in such glowing terms about the links that we have in Wales with Ireland, and indeed…

Can I call for two statements today, please? The first is from the Deputy Minister with responsibility for transport in relation to the concessionary travel card scheme. I've been contacted by constituents in the Colwyn Bay area, who have asked whether it…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
I am focusing upon the question. And the point of the matter is that your Government has previously brought plans forward for enabling the franchise to be extended to prisoners who have sentences of four years or less, which includes, according to the…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Well, I'm very, very pleased to hear that, Minister, and so will members of the public be pleased to hear it. Because what we did not want to see was a return to the attempt that your Government made in the Local Government and Elections (Wales) Act, back in…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Especially when it's going to cost over £100 million over a five-year term. Now, one of the things that you referred to yesterday in your statement on electoral reform was the suggestion that you would progress work on electoral reform…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
As you well know, Minister, the Senedd reform Bill is the product of a dodgy backroom deal between the First Minister and the now former leader of Plaid Cymru, and it's not a Bill that we will be supporting. We don't believe that the public has an appetite…

Statement by the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: Electoral Reform
Final question: in terms of stakeholders' concerns, obviously the biggest concern, particularly about auto-enrolment, is the challenge to people's identity and people being located if they're on an open register that is available in the public domain. Can you…

Statement by the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: Electoral Reform
In terms of diversity, the access to elected office fund, I don't know how successful that has been, but it strikes me that not many people are aware of it, and therefore, we're not getting many applications to draw down from it. So, I want to know what the…

Statement by the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: Electoral Reform
Can I just thank the Minister for the advance copy of his statement today? I think everybody in this Chamber wants us to have a more vibrant democracy, in which more people are able to access their democratic right to vote and where voter turnout is…

Motion under Standing Order 16.5 to establish a Senedd Committee
It's a matter of public record that we requested the establishment of this committee in a Senedd debate, and that there was an offer, then, from the First Minister, to meet with the leader of the opposition in order to take something forward. There's nothing…

Thank you for that answer, Minister. Patients and their families have paid a very high price for the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board’s bungling of the centralisation of vascular services in north Wales. It is a disgrace that these deaths were not…

Questions to the First Minister
We need to make sure that our elections are secure and that there is integrity around them. Why is it that Wales will be an outlier within the UK as a result of your decision?

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Llywydd. I'm baffled by the Welsh Government's position on this matter. This is about the security and integrity of our elections. We know that, across the whole of western Europe, voter ID is the norm, and in most western democracies, it is the…
