Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Diolch, Weinidog. I recently met with a local GP surgery to discuss ongoing service provision for residents in Alyn and Deeside. I was told that, in the past two years, the practice has been, in their words, Minister, subject to unreasonable and extortionate…

Diolch, Llywydd dros dro. The news coming from Port Talbot is extremely disappointing for Port Talbot and for steel communities across Cymru, and I say to the Member who represents the area: Shotton stands in solidarity with the workforce at Port Talbot and…

Updates to previous petitions
Thank you, Altaf, for that. We have debated the petition already on the floor of the Senedd, so I take the view that there's probably not much more we can do as a committee. But we can, as individual Members, as I think was fleshed out in the debate, continue…
