Debate on petition P-06-1367, 'Fund the removal of quarry rocks and the restoration of sand and groynes to Llandudno North Shore'
The figures I've been given by the head of ERF are just under £10 million for the current scheme, and it's £19 million published in the scheme. So, that is not 14 times more. We're talking double.

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you. So, the shortage of specialty positions for our doctors is causing us to lose valuable and committed professionals to other health boards across the UK and, more concerning, to overseas destinations, such as America and Australia. More doctors are…

Group 8: Part 6—Infrastructure Consent Orders (Amendments 31, 17, 18, 19, 3, 2)
