Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the housing sector
Thanks for that. Does anyone else want to comment on that at all, or shall I move on? Okay. Just as a second question, I wanted to talk about some of the regional variations across Wales in terms of Hospital to a Healthier Home. It's reported that the success…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the housing sector
Okay. And is that to a point where you're not in any worse of a financial situation than you were before the 117 per cent rise in costs?

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the housing sector
Thanks. I suppose what I'm trying to get at is: bearing that in mind, are steps being taken to try and take the burden off yourselves and deal with those costs, to mitigate the risks to your service?

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the housing sector
Diolch, Chair, and good afternoon to all the witnesses this afternoon. I was quite staggered, actually, to read Care & Repair's evidence saying that the value of home adaptations is up by 117 per cent, which is extraordinary, really. But I think that's…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with third sector organisations
Diolch. Thank you, Chair.

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with third sector organisations
Yes. I just wanted to come back on communication in particular, because I suppose if the third sector don't feel valued as part of the MDT, the multidisciplinary team, that's going to jeopardise effective communication, isn't it? So, I'm just wondering: do…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with third sector organisations
Thanks for that, Kate. My final question is probably best directed to yourself, as the British Red Cross says that the majority of patients will be discharged without any further formal support, and we've found out that people aren't always managing with…

Any other views? Thanks for that, Catrin. Anything from Jake or Kate?

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with third sector organisations
Diolch yn fawr iawn, Gadeirydd, and good afternoon to all the witnesses this afternoon. I just want to use my section of questions on the role of the third sector. I'll throw the first question for everyone, really, to try and establish a view on what role…

Impact of the waiting times backlog on people in Wales who are waiting for diagnosis or treatment and Scrutiny of the Welsh Government’s Health and Social Care Winter Plan 2021 to 2022: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
I could endeavour to find out.

Impact of the waiting times backlog on people in Wales who are waiting for diagnosis or treatment and Scrutiny of the Welsh Government’s Health and Social Care Winter Plan 2021 to 2022: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you, Chair. I just want to ask a general question, really, about the timing of the implementation of the winter plan, when it's discussed, and coming through the Senedd. I can only talk as a relatively new Member as well, in that, when we were…

Impact of the waiting times backlog on people in Wales who are waiting for diagnosis or treatment and Scrutiny of the Welsh Government’s Health and Social Care Winter Plan 2021 to 2022: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you for that answer. And the factory analogy is not the nicest, but I think, in terms of how we approach tackling this, you have to be industrious and it's a mammoth task. Just finally, to the Minister, what does success look like for you in terms of…

Impact of the waiting times backlog on people in Wales who are waiting for diagnosis or treatment and Scrutiny of the Welsh Government’s Health and Social Care Winter Plan 2021 to 2022: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
I appreciate that answer, Minister. I think it's really important that we do, indeed, continue to make Wales an attractive career prospect. I know, in the sector, there have been concerns with GPs about IT systems being different from what they are in the…

Impact of the waiting times backlog on people in Wales who are waiting for diagnosis or treatment and Scrutiny of the Welsh Government’s Health and Social Care Winter Plan 2021 to 2022: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you very much, Chair. Good afternoon, Minister and officials. I just want to take us in the direction of the restoration of planned NHS care, and what the Minister is doing to make Wales an attractive prospect. Because, at the end of the day, we're in a…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with Care Forum Wales
It seems you've voiced the views of many bodies there, but do you think personally that enough has been done to rectify this situation?

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with Care Forum Wales
That's really helpful and it answers most of my second question, because I was going to factor in some things around the staffing and wages around contractual obligation for staffing levels. Just to end my contribution on this subject, I'd look for views on…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with Care Forum Wales
Thank you very much, Chair. I just want to guide us onto the commissioning of social care services. I'm just wondering if you can talk us through some of the main issues that services are facing, bearing in mind the fact that the rates that local authorities…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with local authorities
Thanks for that. I appreciate the open mindedness of your response, in looking at ways in which we can achieve some of this, because we often talk about health boards still having paper notes, and not being able to sometimes actually read what's been written…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with local authorities
Diolch, Cadeirydd. I want to touch on the relationships between health and social care, because the Association of Directors of Social Services told the health committee in the fifth Senedd about the breakdown in trust between health boards and care homes…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with local authorities
Yes, thanks, Chair. I just wanted to refer you to my declaration of interest as I'm still a member of Denbighshire County Council until the May 2022 elections, and one of our witnesses is an employee of Denbighshire County Council.

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Cancer services
It's a pleasure to take part in this debate this afternoon, and I'm proudly wearing my Marie Curie badge, the daffodil, in support of their work. Sadly, 50 per cent of the population will receive a diagnosis of cancer at some point in their lifetime, and we…

Debate: Draft Budget 2022-23
Diolch, Llywydd. It was more of a speech, I think, than an intervention. But this is the private sector that makes up 80 per cent. It's not just a tiny little drop in the ocean; it is the ocean. Shortages in the care sector are having a debilitating impact on…
