Welsh Conservatives Debate: 70th Anniversary of the accession
I thank the Member, Sam Rowlands. You mentioned, Sam, the public service and you witnessing the Queen at the school. I witnessed the Queen opening Deeside College's centre for engineering excellence in 2003 and I went on to study an apprenticeship there. So…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Adverse childhood experiences
I thank the Member, Jenny Rathbone, for that intervention. She's absolutely right; I do agree with Platfform and their campaign to lead a trauma-informed approach, because it's right. When we look at, for example, the welfare system, that's a system that's…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Adverse childhood experiences
As many Members will know, ACEs and a trauma-informed approach are an area and a topic that I'm passionate about. Just last year I wrote a piece co-authored with Charlotte from Platfform, a mental health charity, about the need for a kinder and more…

Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
Building connectivity is about designing and building transport networks that are responsive to the needs of our communities. This means we do need to regulate the bus industry in a way that places community need and networks at the heart of our decision…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with allied health professionals
Okay. That's very useful. I'll stop there, Chair.

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with allied health professionals
Thank you for that, Dai. Has anyone else got anything to add?

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with allied health professionals
I might be being naive, but can I ask, is that happening, then, or is that something that should happen?

Thanks, Calum. Dai, key roles.

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with allied health professionals
Thanks for that. Before I pass over for other comments—and it's a question to everybody as well—would you agree as well that there's a piece of work to be done on parity of esteem for social care workers with regard to health workers? Perhaps you could maybe…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with allied health professionals
Thank you, Chair. I hope I do my good friend Mike Hedges justice with some questions around the workforce, but just to follow on from Mike there, who suggested where we perhaps move our current workforce. I'm looking at, maybe, how we can equip them better or…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with allied health professionals
Diolch, Chair. Calum, it's great to hear that there are some good examples of communication and good practice across all health boards, and you've made a recommendation there about the funding, the core funding of the service, to make sure that carries on…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with NHS bodies
Thanks, Chair. Because it seems we are not helping ourselves, or not helping the over-tired and stretched workforce that we already have, I was going to ask, perhaps, Chair, as Mike suggested earlier, whether there are any specific recommendations that the…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with NHS bodies
Perhaps I will try and just take that recommendation out shortly and prise it out of you, Doctor. But before I do, can I just touch on communication, before we do move on to workforce? I'm picking up a common theme here. The RCN, in their written evidence…

I'm very grateful to my good friend from across the Chamber, James Evans, for tabling today's debate, and I genuinely believe bus services are and public transport is part of the wider key pillar of the wider initiative to create the green new deal that we…

Motion under Standing Order 17.42(ix) to resolve to exclude the public from item 5 of the meeting
Item 4, then, a motion under Standing Order 17.42. It does conclude public business today, and we will go into private session to consider our responses and review the committee timetable for our workload in coming months. Can I propose, then, to Members, in…

Updates to previous petitions
Diolch, Joel. I can see Luke nodding in agreement, and I too agree. I have a constituent who is very vocal on this importance, and would certainly welcome that being Welsh Government policy, to hear patient voice. And I agree with that. Perhaps we could also…

Thank you for that, Joel. In terms of where we take this petition, Luke suggested that we do accept the commissioner's offer of seeking some evidence from him. Perhaps, if we do that, some of those valid points that you raise, Joel, can be offered directly to…
