I can imagine it's not been straightforward, but there are ways around certain things and it is pleasing. In your role as chief nursing officer—and I'm really conscious of time now—what would be the next—? In fairness to the Minister, she's quite clear that…

So, it just proves it can be done—that these technical solutions are out there.

So, that's a very good answer. Where are we in the process of seeing that happen? So, something like AI might be a way away, but the Welsh nursing record might be—.

Thank you, Chair. We've spoken a lot about data and I'm going to move away from that, but stay with a focus on digital technology. Reflecting on my poker face—you should have seen it when we spoke for half an hour about fax machines, which I cannot cope with…

Scrutiny of the Chief Nursing Office for Wales
Thanks, Chair. I need to work on my poker face a bit. [Laughter.] The information that we've just discussed there—it's really good that you're doing that, and gathering that experience from the students. It's clear that those conversations will go back to the…

I don't actually think we need to know what StatsWales do. The data's there, this clearly needs to happen. I think you've answered it well. I think this is a question for the Minister, actually, because technological solutions are made every day. It doesn't…

Thank you, Chair. It's interesting, this, because there is a solution out there, it's just a technological—some people would say 'barrier', but I don't believe in barriers. It's a technological opportunity here, and it's great that you're doing the work. Is…

So, at this time, would you then be saying it would be welcome if Welsh Government had that data? Because it's there, isn't it?
26 January 2023 , Health and Social Care Committee
Scrutiny of the Chief Nursing Office for Wales
Yes, thanks, Chair. Just going back a couple of questions, really, Gill, you said you don't have the specific data—from Sarah's question—that shows you whether parts of the NHS are at risk, for example, but you have priorities. Would that data not be useful…

Thank you, Chair. Good morning, both; yes, it's still morning. The Minister is in negotiations at the moment with a number of trade unions, and I refer the Chair to my interest before as a trade union member. Can I ask what role you play as chief nursing…

Short Debate: Supporting people in a cost-of-living crisis
In the middle of a cold winter and significant growth in poverty, with inflation rampant and wages lagging behind, we're allowing energy companies to forcibly switch people to the most expensive and precarious way of paying for energy—hundreds of thousands of…

Short Debate: Supporting people in a cost-of-living crisis
Diolch yn fawr, Deputy Presiding Officer, and in opening today's short debate I'd like to give a minute of my time to both Sioned Williams and Jane Dodds. A 'cost-of-living crisis' is another way of saying that increasing numbers of people are being forced…

Debate on the Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee Report—'Increasing costs: Impact on culture and sport'
Can I thank Jenny Rathbone for that suggestion? That's certainly one we will look into further. It's a valued suggestion from the Member. Of course, any suggestions on the committee's work are always welcome. Llywydd, the challenge facing those who run…

Topical Questions
I thank the Counsel General for his answer, and the leadership of Welsh Government colleague Jane Hutt in this topic. This is nothing short of a national scandal. We have seen hundreds of court orders issued at a time, and now data shows that, out of the…

Topical Questions
1. What advice has the Counsel General given the Welsh Government on whether processing hundreds of court warrants at a time, allowing energy firms to install prepay meters without individual checks, is a breach of Welsh residents’ civil rights? TQ713

Questions to the Senedd Commission

Questions to the Senedd Commission
Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd. It's clear that significant work is done to promote the work of our national Parliament, and this could be done through the large acts, such as you mentioned, with the engagement with all the parliaments, or perhaps even smaller acts…
