Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 1 - Evidence session with ITV
Thank you. We have less than 20 minutes left of the session, so we'll need to try to be agile, but I have confidence in everyone that we'll be able to do that. Lee wanted to come in on another issue, and then I'll be coming back to Mick.

Because we have two other Members who want to come in, I'm just going to bring them in. Mick had his indication first, and then I'll come to Heledd.

Forgive me, please, for interrupting you. We do appreciate that, but the vision that we would like to see reflected is something that you at least sympathise with and that's something that you would consider taking on.

Public service broadcasting in Wales: Panel 1 - Evidence session with ITV
Just before we move on, because I have two other Members who want to come in as well, I think the point that is being made is that Wales is a separate country rather than being part of one country. Evidently, there's some frustration that is being voiced in…

Right, we have another Member who wants to ask a question on this same point.

Okay, if we could give the witness time to answer the questions.

I suppose one thing that would be useful to know is would there be any plans, or would it be something that ITV would consider, to look at how navigable that is, rather than having to go through as many stages to find it—if it's something that you'd consider.

Well, you're very welcome. Thank you very much for being with us this morning. If I could ask, firstly, please, what your views are on how effectively you think the Media Act 2024 is being implemented.

So, we'll move on to item 2. We are looking at public service broadcasting. We have an evidence session with ITV this morning, and I will ask the witnesses to introduce themselves for the record.

Business Statement and Announcement
I'd like to call for a statement, please, setting out how dignity and tolerance are being taught in schools. Since the Caerphilly by-election, I've been made aware twice of incidents where children have been taunted and physically attacked on their way home…

Questions to the First Minister
Of course, the over-centralisation of hospitals and where those hospitals are located—that can be a real problem as well. In Caerphilly, since the miners hospital closed, patients across the Rhymney valley have been left without an A&E. Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr was…

Very briefly, then. Councillor Morgan, thank you for raising that concern about private companies potentially destabilising, or the risk of them destabilising, tips because of extracting coal, doing this in a private way. Do you think that the Bill itself…
