Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Of course, the training and development of people in north Wales is fantastic, to keep people within the region and, indeed, training to a high level. I want to specifically ask around the training and development of people and staff who are already working…

Topical Questions
I'd just like to put on record my sadness at this event. I'm aware that it's not the first time that this has been raised in the Senedd. Holding the social services portfolio for the Welsh Conservatives, I've seen first-hand that this is not the only case…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society
Yes, certainly. I was going to touch on my second question about communication. Do you believe that there are systems in place to support effective communications between different aspects of health and care services, and between professions? And if not, or…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society
Thank you, Chair. Good afternoon, both. It's a pleasure to join you this morning. We have touched on it briefly in your answers to the Chair, but are there any other ways that the role of the pharmacist can be strengthened any further with patients, to…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with The British Geriatrics Society, Diabetes UK Cymru and The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health
One finally to Dr Leopold. The British Geriatrics Society's written evidence says that comprehensive geriatric assessment should be available to older people with chronic conditions. To what extent is this embedded in healthcare for older people in Wales?

You've answered all my questions in one blow there, Mathew. I should ask you about technology and how we reduce barriers, but I think you've covered that sufficiently in that answer.

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with The British Geriatrics Society, Diabetes UK Cymru and The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health
No, it's fine. I appreciate time's short, and we have covered a lot, which is why the first question that I had has already been answered by Mathew. But my question to Mathew would be—. Your written evidence highlights a downwards trend in the NHS providing…

How do we communicate better? How do professionals communicate better?

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with ADSS Cymru and BASW Cymru
Thank you, Chair. Just to head back to person-centred planning, how do we best improve communication between healthcare professionals in this regard, then, if there is a potential shortfall in PCP provision? How do we get the best healthcare—?

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with ADSS Cymru and BASW Cymru
Thanks, Jacqueline. I just wanted to pick up on a couple of answers you made there. I'm not intending it to be a name-and-shame exercise, but if you are able to identify which particular areas are not currently or—. I don't know what the situation is—are they…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with ADSS Cymru and BASW Cymru
Individual care plans enable people living with chronic conditions to be equal partners in the decisions in their care and support. Do you think there's enough awareness generally of them in all areas of health and social care, and if not, what can we do…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: UK Government budget
Would you take an intervention? I've listened intently to your contribution, also to Peredur's as well talking about the fiscal faults of the UK Government and, indeed, the Welsh Government here. What would Plaid Cymru do so differently? I don't see a plan…

Debate on the Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee Report, 'Town Centre Regeneration'

Debate on the Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee Report, 'Town Centre Regeneration'
Thank you. Do you recognise the importance of banking hubs? One was recently opened in my constituency and it's run by the Post Office and through LINK, who traditionally use cash machines, so that could be another solution to the banking problem, perhaps, in…
