I wanted to focus on some of the periphery issues around this as well in terms of recruitment and retention of medical professionals. Because often, when I'm approached in the constituency and nationally—I've taken a lot of responsibility for health…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education
Thank you very much, Cabinet Secretary. Mobile phones are currently one of the biggest impediments to successful education, and this is something that teachers are grappling with worldwide, not just in Wales. We should bear in mind that social media apps are…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care: Six Goals for Urgent and Emergency Care Two Years On
It's hard to disagree with the six goals and aims, such as signposting people with urgent care needs to the right place. They're common sense and should be a priority for any Government. However, beyond warm words, it's clear that there are significant and…

Business Statement and Announcement
Can I also ask for another update from the Welsh Government on the disastrous Trolibocs bin roll-out in Denbighshire? This of course comes within the remit of Denbighshire County Council, however a lot of the funding and guidance for this came from the Welsh…

Statement by the Minister for Social Care: Transforming Children's Services
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Thank you very much for your statement this afternoon, Minister, but I do take issue with eliminating the profits, unfortunately, but it's nothing new, you'll be pleased to know, because I've debated this for a long time with your…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Tourism
I'm pleased that you know about Little Venice, because, yes, it's a great story. But the point I'm making is not to do down Wales, as you're alluding to; it's actually saying, 'Well, what we've got to do is do something differently', because the comparisons…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Tourism
Because a lot of the comparisons made are actually exotic, hot countries that do have an appeal to people from these climates to travel there and spend money. But what we've got the challenge with is the weather, because it's quite unpredictable and different…

Debate on petition P-06-1407, 'We want the Welsh Government to rescind and remove the disastrous 20mph law'
Oh, celebrations—'hooray'. We support 20 mph outside schools and hospitals, but the default application of this speed has to be reversed. The petition before the Senedd today is an opportunity for the Welsh Government to take stock of the nearly 500,000…

I don't think it's below the belt, I think it's just somebody speaking true words. At a time when the UK's growth is struggling to get off the ground, despite the evidence that it does not work, despite the multitude of negative consequences and the lack of…

I've heard a different story; I've heard that they're going to member area group meetings in Denbighshire County Council, which are not public meetings, they're private, and they're going to be discussed, voted on and decided in private meetings that are not…

Debate on petition P-06-1407, 'We want the Welsh Government to rescind and remove the disastrous 20mph law'
It's interesting you raise that, Lee, actually, because I left out a couple more bodies out of my remarks. I only quoted Queen's university. I noticed there was evidence at the time from the RAC and the AA against that, but they were ignored. Very reputable…

In a second. I'll just finish this point. A default 20 mph policy is not a commonsense approach, and this is what the signatories to the petition would like the Welsh Government to understand.

Thank you. What was the reason for that then? Because, when you were in post as Deputy Minister, I asked you many, many times why you thought it was the case that in my local authority, Denbighshire County Council, exemption rates were 0.6 per cent, and…
