Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with Public Health Wales
Yes. Diolch, Cadeirydd. From what I've read from the written evidence and other work from Public Health Wales and what we've heard this morning from you both, social prescribing is key to some of the problems that we see here. I want to pick up on the funded…

Okay. Thank you. That's useful.

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with Public Health Wales
Diolch, Cadeirydd, and thanks, Sarah, too. Really good to hear about the experience of Swansea that Sarah mentioned, and, Zoe, you've referred to, but, in your response, you said Wales needs to get better at sharing best practice. You're not the first person…

Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Chair of Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board: evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
Diolch. Thank you, Chair.

Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Chair of Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board: evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
As a former pupil, I can say it's good to have a former teacher in front of us. Just finally, Chair, as I know we're pressed for time, you've been in the role as interim chair for some time now. We've met a number of times, of course, in my role as Member of…

Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Chair of Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board: evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
Thank you for that, and thanks for the honesty as well. And looking at your curriculum vitae in front of us, it's always good to have someone else who's been in Connah's Quay High School.

Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Chair of Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board: evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
Okay, that covers my question. I was going to reframe the question and ask, in your interim role, have you come across any conflicts of interest, or is it a case of you wouldn't be able to simply—.
24 January 2024 , Health and Social Care Committee
Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Chair of Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board: evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
And is that because of the potential conflict of interest, or is it just something that you feel needs to take place?

Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Chair of Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board: evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
Diolch, Cadeirydd. Bore da, Dyfed. I'm conscious of time, Chair, but if I can just go back to the question from the Chair at the start of the session, just for clarity for me. If you're appointed as chair of this health board you will leave the positions that…

Statement by the Minister for Economy: Tata Steel
Minister, as others have said already this afternoon, last week's news was a blow to us all. My community knows first-hand what it's like to lose skilled jobs in the steel sector. In my constituency, at Shotton steelworks, workers are also concerned about…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, it is vitally important that we are able to train speech and language therapists in north Wales. As you say, it's really welcome news, First Minister, that my old university, Wrexham, are offering a new degree course in this very field. Can I…

Welsh Government Draft Budget 2024-25: Minister for Economy
I should say for the record, Chair, that my degree was part of an apprenticeship programme, which was supported by European funding and the Welsh Government. So, clearly, as we heard in the debate yesterday, the loss of European funding is devastating for…
18 January 2024 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Welsh Government Draft Budget 2024-25: Minister for Economy
That is quite true. [Interruption.] This time, as Alun points out. Your paper, Minister, states that no transfers are being actioned as part of the draft budget 2024-25 to support degree apprenticeships. Are you expecting to make any transfers during the…

Welsh Government Draft Budget 2024-25: Minister for Economy
Thank you. A final question from me, Chair. I’m substituting for Dr David on the committee today, so it would be remiss of me not to bring up degree apprenticeships.
18 January 2024 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Welsh Government Draft Budget 2024-25: Minister for Economy
Again, thank you. There obviously is concern from some that there may be fewer opportunities for young people when they leave school, in terms of fewer apprenticeships, but perhaps you could talk through the commitment of the Government to try and support…
18 January 2024 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Welsh Government Draft Budget 2024-25: Minister for Economy
Can I thank you both for that? In the debate we had yesterday, I think there was quite clearly cross-party support for apprenticeships. Most of us in this room spoke in that very debate. Do you agree with me, Minister, that it's important to protect the…

Welsh Government Draft Budget 2024-25: Minister for Economy
Just, perhaps, to Jo, again, noting the differences and the reasons why, are we confident that, given the financial context, given the situation that we're in, we will be able to meet that within this Senedd term?
18 January 2024 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Welsh Government Draft Budget 2024-25: Minister for Economy
Diolch, Cadeirydd. I'm grateful to the Minister for being here. We had a lengthy debate yesterday, Minister, on apprenticeships in the Chamber, so some questions on that. Firstly, a point of clarification, if I may. The Welsh Government's budget narrative…

Welsh Government Draft Budget 2024-25: Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
It is good work that they do at Can Cook/Well-Fed, and I was going to say there's a model there that could be looked at and should be looked at more nationally. I'm pleased to hear the Minister recognise that.

Welsh Government Draft Budget 2024-25: Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
Just to say, Chair, I was going to make my own plug, but the Minister has taken it.

18 January 2024 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Welsh Government Draft Budget 2024-25: Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
I agree, and we should be proud of our high standards. I think the point I was trying to get across is that the Welsh Government paper states that the support will be conditional, based on those shared values, and those shared values of high standards are…
18 January 2024 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Welsh Government Draft Budget 2024-25: Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
Thank you, both, for that. The answer from the Minister, really, is it's value for money in the small amount of money that's left available, considering the previous budgets, of course. Perhaps, can you talk us a bit more through that, about how you'll make…
