Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: evidence session with Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism
Thank you so much. Finally on this, the well-being facilitator pilot that you talked about, could you just talk us through, briefly, how that can be accessed, please?

Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: evidence session with Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism
Thank you for that. We held a workshop in the University of South Wales with lots of representatives from the sector, and some of the most concerning things that we heard were about the prevalence of bullying in the sector, and problems with mental health…

Challenges facing the creative industry workforce: evidence session with Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism
Yes, you did, Hefin, very impressive. Diolch yn fawr. Could you talk us through, please, what you think the Welsh Government could do to help organisations, or encourage them to improve working conditions in the sector, and also, in terms of pay levels, to…

Forgive me, Hefin—forgive, me. Just quickly: could the results of that survey be shared with the committee when you have them, please?

You're both very welcome. If it's all right, we'll go straight to questions and I'll go to Hefin David.

We'll move on to item 3. We're looking at the challenges facing the creative industry's workforce, and we're holding an evidence session with the Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism. I'll ask the Deputy Minister to introduce herself and to introduce…

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence from the Minister for Climate Change: part 2
Thank you. Finally from me, when we took evidence from the Institute of Acoustics, much like you were saying about wanting to get to a point where we'd be talking about what the acceptable level of decibels would be, or something like that, they suggested…

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence from the Minister for Climate Change: part 2
Of course. I was about to say that, actually, there was a question that Jenny had asked about this.

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence from the Minister for Climate Change: part 2
Thank you, Minister. That makes sense. I think that this links in in part with the questions that Joyce had asked, and I think Huw as well, earlier about promoting awareness. As you say, because it's this new concept, perhaps we could write to you about that…

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence from the Minister for Climate Change: part 2
Diolch, Cadeirydd. Turning then to the other element of this legislation, the soundscapes element, that concept of soundscapes will be new or alien to lots of people—practitioners but also, particularly, members of the public. There isn't a definition on the…

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence from the Minister for Climate Change: part 1
Diolch. Because of time, I won't ask a question to you, Minister, on this. I wonder, maybe, if, as a committee, we could give consideration to this and look into whether there are any precedents elsewhere in the world of how a challenge like this has had to…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
My grandmother suffered with dementia in her final few years, so I know how frightening the process can be for someone going through this and for people around them if they don't understand what's happening to them. That's why, as we've heard, having an…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Climate Change: Update on Bus Services
Minister, I welcome the news—I genuinely do welcome the news—of the £46 million. That could help avert the immediate crisis and give the industry breathing space, and give the Government, as you set out, time to work with partners, I hope, on this marketing…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Climate Change: Update on Bus Services
Thank you, Deputy Minister, for this statement. I appreciate the work that the Government is doing on this. But the fact remains that we are facing a critical situation because the BES scheme, in its current form, is due to come to an end. Things are better…

Questions to the First Minister
I think that most people look at the situation of sewage in our rivers and they feel actual despair, and it’s a despair mixed with revulsion, because there can’t be a metaphor that’s more on the nose than the example of shareholders getting wads of cash while…
