Okay. Thank you for the clarification.

Welsh Language and Education (Wales) Bill - evidence session 9
If I may, you've used some caveats in your statements twice now. You've said 'broadly supportive' and 'generally' there. Are there some local authorities—I don't want you to name and shame—that don't feel that the target of a million Welsh speakers is…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Education funding
I also want to highlight the concerns expressed in the NAHT report in terms of resources for provision for learners with additional learning needs, with 87 per cent saying that the funding provided for this is inadequate. It's a shame, therefore, to see in…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Education funding
If you do look at the education MEG of the Welsh budget, it was cut by 3.7 per cent in real terms, and it should be contextualised against the £76.7 million revenue cut as part of the in-year rebudgeting exercise last October and the long-term trend of a mere…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Education funding
An important element of our motion covers the funding crisis, yes, and this is highlighted in the NAHT 'Falling Short' report. We have to recognise the pressure on schools, and we have to find solutions. By deleting our motion, there's a lack of recognition…

Topical Questions
Thank you, Minister, for the response. I do hope that you've had the opportunity to read the report in full, and the wonderful tribute paid by June's family, which clearly shows how loved she was and how missed she is. In their own words, 'June was our…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Welsh Language
There are signs that Keir Starmer’s administration are following in the footsteps of their predecessors in terms of their belief that Westminster knows better than this Senedd. We should be able to decide here how our own money is spent. For example, the UK…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Welsh Language
Well, Plaid Cymru will never apologise for taking every possible opportunity to stand up for Wales and call out for fair funding. That is hugely disappointing for many people who would expect Welsh Government to be taking every possible opportunity.

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Welsh Language
Diolch, Ysgrifennydd Cabinet. But I'm sure that you agree with me that people in Wales are yearning for the rhetoric of the partnership of power to match up with the reality. They were promised so much. And how can it be a true partnership if one side…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Welsh Language
Thank you, Llywydd. I also welcome the Cabinet Secretary to his role. I am very grateful for the engagement that has already happened and I look forward to working constructively. I have to say, the hypocrisy of the Conservatives is very striking, but it is…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Education: Welsh-medium education through late immersion
Immersion works, there's no doubt about that. There can be no debate about it, and of course we welcome this. What I would like is if you could provide us with a definition of immersion in every local authority in Wales, and what provision is available, and…

Business Statement and Announcement
Yesterday, a report was published by the Cwm Taf Morgannwg safeguarding board setting out grave failings in the care of a patient with paranoid schizophrenia who killed June Fox-Roberts, a 65-year-old grandmother, in November 2021. What is appalling for…

Debate on the Climate Change, Environment and Infrastructure Committee Report, 'Natural Resources Wales—Annual Scrutiny 2023-24'
May I also thank the committee for its work on this? I think we should be gravely concerned, given the comments made by the Chair in introducing this report and opening this debate in terms of the increasing pressures on NRW. If you look, following the…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Women's healthcare
May I thank Delyth Jewell for bringing this important debate forward? It saddens me that it's necessary to bring it forward. Building on Cefin's comments: these aren't new issues for us to be discussing. In November 2022, the report, 'Women's Health in…

Statement by the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs: Flooding—Preparing for winter
I was really grateful when you visited Clydach Terrace and the residents of Ynysybwl recently. I wonder, there was a specific question raised then. You've referenced a number of times the fantastic work of the National Flood Forum. You'll know that their…

Business Statement and Announcement

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery
I'm sorry, but this is entirely different from going for a cup of tea. This is about the health service in Wales, and I would think that the people of Wales who are on waiting lists, and those working in our hospitals, need to know what the status of this is…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery
Thank you, Counsel General. It is different to what was announced. We heard that there was an agreement, not collaboration. There is collaboration already, as you said, but this is an agreement. So, could I ask you to provide assurance that there is no…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery
Thank you, Llywydd. I would like to welcome you to your new role. And last week, of course, in the Labour Party conference, we heard, without any prior warning to the Senedd, or the health boards that will probably be affected, that Westminster will…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you. As you said, demand is increasing, with the latest figures from August 2024 showing that the number of adults waiting more than 48 hours is 363 in Cwm Taf Morgannwg and 174 in Cardiff and Vale health board. Clearly, what the data do not show is how…
