If I can, Chair, if you'll indulge me: how do we share best practice then, because it sounds like we don't share best practice well enough across Wales?

Impact of waiting times backlog on people who are waiting for diagnosis or treatment: evidence session with primary care organisations

Impact of waiting times backlog on people who are waiting for diagnosis or treatment: evidence session with primary care organisations

Diolch, Chair. I've got some more general questions, not just to Dr Saul. They may be covered by Dr Saul, but our other witnesses could answer as well. Over the last 18 months, throughout the coronavirus pandemic, patients have been relatively accepting that…

Statement by the Minister for Economy: The Young Person’s Guarantee
Minister, I very much welcome today's statement, in particular the guarantee itself. After all, it was a Welsh Labour Government who supported my route through my apprenticeship at a local small and medium-sized enterprise in Deeside. And you'll be well aware…

Motion under Standing Order 17.42(ix) to resolve to exclude the public from item 6 of the meeting.

Thank you, Joel. I too, for the record, have brought this particular petition and another example of something similar to this happening to the Minister on the floor of the Senedd in my role as a Member of this Senedd. So, I am, too, keen, and I do have a…

Well, I would agree with both of those, and I can see nodding elsewhere as well. So, okay, we'll take both of those points. We will write that one final time, but we will thank the petitioner as well, and feed back that information to the petitioner. And, of…

Okay. Well, thank you for that. I must say that, as Chair—but I can see I'm outvoted on this one, so it's fine—I'm unsure as to what a debate will secure, given the Minister's crystal-clear response and the new change in Government. But I will take the…
