Thank you for that, Joel. There were two suggestions to write letters there, one to the Deputy Minister with responsibility, and to the two train operators. I can see Buffy live on camera nodding in agreement. So, we'll action that. Thank you, Joel. Item 2.2…

Debate on the Children, Young People and Education Committee’s Report—'Everybody’s affected: Peer on peer sexual harassment among learners'
Can I thank all Members for contributing, not only to today's debate, but also to this difficult report, but a very important report is what it is, led so eloquently by the Chair, Jayne Bryant? But Jayne's committee is not the only committee addressing this…

Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government
Thank you for your response, Minister. The Tory party want us all to pretend that it was a different Tory party that crashed the economy with reckless giveaways. [Interruption.] Whether they're Conservatives or Tories, they're all under the same hat. Now…

Okay, thanks.

Are you getting enough support from Welsh Government to aid with working with—[Inaudible.]

Scrutiny of Digital Health and Care Wales: Evidence session with Digital Health and Care Wales
I think the committee recognises the pressure our wonderful healthcare staff are under. If I may, just one final question, Chair, looking outside NHS Wales and the other partners. Care and Repair Wales told the committee that they weren't really aware of you…

Scrutiny of Digital Health and Care Wales: Evidence session with Digital Health and Care Wales
I suppose my final question on the point about collaboration is: how do you actively encourage in all of the organisations or partners that you work with? How do you encourage that, and can you give us some examples of that?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Scrutiny of Digital Health and Care Wales: Evidence session with Digital Health and Care Wales
Do you—because I don't want to spend too much time on this—look outside of healthcare at other industries for examples of good practice? You do.

Scrutiny of Digital Health and Care Wales: Evidence session with Digital Health and Care Wales
And I will move on to relationships within your role. You clearly all have relationships with NHS Wales, whether that be through the chief executive level or chairs. Do you see room for a more collaborative approach, rather than just top down, and is there…

Thanks, Chair. I can't talk more about fax machines, I'll have nightmares. [Laughter.] I think we all will. But just to pick up, actually, on the challenges with vacancies, I can apply for 19 jobs at the moment on your website. I think what you were saying is…

Scrutiny of Digital Health and Care Wales: Evidence session with Digital Health and Care Wales
Diolch, Chair, and bore da. I was going to wait until my turn, but I think it builds on well from Mike's question and your answer, Rhidian. I sound like a broken record here, but it's fax machines. You've worked since 1995, east to west, with no computers. In…

Questions to the First Minister

Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
I think that, again, that's an excellent recommendation, isn't it, because if we're relying on foodbanks for toothpaste, we're in a pretty bad state, aren't we? Thank you, Chair.

Any other comments?

Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
Diolch, Chair. I'll be quick, really, in terms of—. We know from evidence, don't we, that the dental problems and dental hygiene problems are in the most deprived areas. We're living in a devastating cost-of-living crisis, where families and individuals are…
