Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Centre for Mental Health and Mental Health Foundation
Andy, would you like to come in first on that?

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Centre for Mental Health and Mental Health Foundation
Thank you, Andy. And I suppose the Government's role in what you've both said would be to act as that enabler and perhaps it is the funding, then—the mechanism of funding needs to be much easier and much more accessible for these smaller groups. I can seen…

Very grateful for that answer. Andy, would you like to comment further?

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Centre for Mental Health and Mental Health Foundation
I'm very grateful, Chair, and grateful to the witnesses for being here. Can I first personally agree with the trauma-informed approach there, not as a member of the committee, but as a Member of the Senedd? I think Wales could lead the way with that. And for…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the Minister and Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services
Finally, Chair, because I know that time is precious, but can I just press the Deputy Minister on if there is a timescale to that procedure, that process?

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the Minister and Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you, Deputy Minister. I'll move on to one final question from me, Chair, if that's okay. We heard again in evidence—and I think it rather stunned the committee to hear this; I still quite can't believe it, and it's been raised in the Chamber before—we…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the Minister and Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services
I'm grateful for your answer there, Minister, and your commitment to doing so. We also did have highlighted through evidence, in terms of assessments, delays in the assessment process, but also the quality of assessments. Again, I don't want to put this on…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the Minister and Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services
Diolch, Cadeirydd—very kind of you. I'll try and be quick. One of the main themes throughout certainly all the oral evidence sessions that we have had on this issue was the lack of joint working and, again, poor communication. Now, I think I'll stay away…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Diolch yn fawr, Weinidog, for the answer there. The First Minister explained just yesterday the challenges that we're facing in dentistry at the moment in Wales and across the United Kingdom. But residents in Alyn and Deeside are very much feeling the pinch…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch yn fawr, Prif Weinidog. The Resolution Foundation recently carried out research that found, after COVID hit, people under the age of 34 are more likely to face unemployment or precarious work. I'm sure our colleague from across the Chamber Tom Giffard…

Motion under Standing Order 17.42(ix) to resolve to exclude the public from item 7 of the meeting
The committee will now go into private session to discuss the evidence—the powerful evidence—that we've heard today. So, I do propose, in accordance with Standing Order 17.42(ix), that the committee resolves to meet in private for item 7. I can see Members…

Diolch yn fawr, Luke. I can see Members are happy with that suggestion, and, through the format of the cross-party group on long COVID, which our colleagues Hefin David and Rhun ap Iorwerth chair jointly, that perhaps a way for the petitioner to engage in…

Okay. Thank you, Buffy. I can see all Members are happy with that suggestion. Moving on to 5.5, the final petition of today, P-06-1217, 'Open Long Covid one stop medical hubs / clinics', submitted by Lawson Webb with 1,214 signatures. And I look to Members to…

Therefore, we'll move on to item 5 on today's agenda—updates to previous petitions. Item 5.1, P-06-1224, 'Design a "Care Leavers Plus" Universal Basic Income pilot that includes a range of people'. This was submitted by Jonathan Rhys Williams—who, for the…

Diolch yn fawr, Luke, and I can see Members agreeing with that suggestion—as we would, as you're the dog champion in this Senedd. Item 4.7, P-06-1260, 'End the need for covid passes for all events and activities': 'The use of passes needs to fall in line with…

Diolch yn fawr, James. Again, I can see Members are in agreement with that. So, moving on to 4.6 on today's agenda, P-06-1259, 'Ban the use of non biodegradable dog poo bags': 'Plastic dog waste bags last for centuries and have a large negative impact on the…

Thank you, Luke. I can see Members in agreement, and I could see enthusiastic nodding in support of what you said about Ukraine, and this committee does stand with the people of Ukraine, and we do call out what is an illegal war crime from Putin's regime…

Thank you, Buffy, and I can see Members are happy with that. Certainly, on behalf of the committee, we can thank Mark for all he does in the arena of perinatal mental health. Of course, I certainly know Mark as well from the work he's done, so I'm grateful to…

New Petitions
Thank you for that, James. I could see all Members nodding in agreement, and I think, for the record, it should be said this committee considers petitions that have been accepted by the process and does not make the decision of admissibility. That is set…
