Peredur.

Evidence session—Free public transport for young people
Thank you, Paul. I think colleagues will come on to questions about the evaluation, but I'll see if Altaf has any further questions to ask, and then I'll ask Peredur Owen Griffiths to come in for a supplementary.

Evidence session—Free public transport for young people
So, you're content with the process and the reimbursement scheme. I'm looking, if there was something similar in Wales here, then the view of the industry in Scotland, to the industry in Wales, would be that there is a model in Scotland that we could follow.

Evidence session—Free public transport for young people
Thank you, Gillian. Paul, do you want to give us your view, from the operators' side, or are you happy to support?

Who would like to respond to that? Paul.

Evidence session—Free public transport for young people
Thank you, both. Altaf Hussain.
18 March 2024Petitions Committee
Evidence session—Free public transport for young people
Thank you. The reason I asked that question is that the Welsh Government is on its way to reforming the bus industry in Wales through the bus services Bill. That was initially discussed before COVID, and, obviously, COVID, for many reasons, as you've…
18 March 2024Petitions Committee
Evidence session—Free public transport for young people
Thank you, Peredur. If colleagues do want to come in, if they could just raise their hand, and I can call them from here. Just before I bring Altaf Hussain in, can I ask about the preparatory work that you undertook in Scotland? How long did it take before…

Evidence session—Free public transport for young people
Carole, did you indicate to come in? You didn't. Sorry, I thought I saw a hand go up. No problem. Peredur Owen Griffiths.
18 March 2024Petitions Committee
Evidence session—Free public transport for young people
Well, can I thank you all for being here and introducing yourselves there? I'll start by introducing today's session as to why we have invited you here to give evidence about what's happening in Scotland. We're here to seek the lessons of the free transport…

Evidence session—Free public transport for young people
Okay. That brings us to item 2 on today's agenda, and it's the evidence session for the scrutiny around free public transport for young people. Before I move to questions from Members, I'll ask our witnesses to introduce themselves. Gillian Kelly.

A very warm welcome to you all to this meeting of the Petitions Committee.
14 March 2024Health and Social Care Committee
Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society
No, no.
14 March 2024Health and Social Care Committee
Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society
I'd fully agree with all of your points, but particularly your last point on the pharmacists themselves. Just briefly to go back, and I'll finish there, Chair, when you say you would like to do more, and you need support in doing that, is it support in…
14 March 2024Health and Social Care Committee
Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society
Diolch, Cadeirydd. Sarah is right in what she says, community pharmacists need supporting, don't they? They're often at the front line of seeing patients. We saw that in COVID, when they got the brunt of a lot of situations. They do need supporting. I want to…
14 March 2024Health and Social Care Committee
Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with The British Geriatrics Society, Diabetes UK Cymru and The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health

14 March 2024Health and Social Care Committee
Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with The British Geriatrics Society, Diabetes UK Cymru and The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health
Thank you. And it seems again that an area of good practice sharing should be more thought of. Mathew.
14 March 2024Health and Social Care Committee
Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with The British Geriatrics Society, Diabetes UK Cymru and The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health
The committee received written evidence that highlighted differences in risk factors for certain conditions for people from black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds. Do these—and I open the question to all three of you here today—inequalities affect your…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with The British Geriatrics Society, Diabetes UK Cymru and The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health
Thank you. Can I ask one more question, Chair?
14 March 2024Health and Social Care Committee
Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with The British Geriatrics Society, Diabetes UK Cymru and The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health
Thank you, Mathew. Dr Wilkinson, perhaps I'll pose the question: you referred in your earlier response to age-appropriate services, and I think you talked about 17 to 25-year-olds. Do you agree that there also should be community-appropriate services, where…
