Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
Yes, okay. So, just to clarify, it's a really helpful initial explanation, and I understand your desire to have flexibility, where you want to have a partnership approach, involving the voluntary sector et cetera, but, on the really big-ticket items of…

Short Debate: Endometriosis and the women’s health plan in Wales
—in Hungary, rehabilitation treatment using thermal springs, physiotherapy, breathing techniques and abdominal massage is available to Hungarian women. They are judging the success of it at the moment on the fertility rates that are achieved by women who have…

Short Debate: Endometriosis and the women’s health plan in Wales
Well, much progress has been made, but there's still a hell of a lot to do. Why is it, when 1.5 million people in the UK suffer from endometriosis, we do not know what causes it? So, there's an awful lot of research to be done, by both the expert patients and…

Questions to the Senedd Commission
Thank you, Llywydd. You will remember, I'm sure, that, on St David's Day, you hosted an event in the Neuadd to celebrate the contribution made by people who'd chosen to make Wales their home, including people who'd fled Nazism as children, and who'd obviously…

Questions to the Senedd Commission
As you said, Joyce, 10 per cent of all women have endometriosis, and I did think about this when I was on the march on Sunday, as to how we might have menstrual health discussions with female Members of the Senedd and staff, because a lot of people don't…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
The police in the Vale of Glamorgan have recently had to deal with a small group of people descending on the area in the hope of persuading local residents that accommodating refugees in their community is in some way a risk to their well-being. It hasn't…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice
I just wanted to ask you about the plight of Afghan refugees. We've just been told that they're going to be forced to leave hotels and move into a single offer of accommodation, or they'll just be on the street. Given they've been here for 18 months since the…

It also requires local authorities to do what they're not doing at the moment. So, these are conversations you're having.

But it also requires local authorities to send their parking regulator, the 'meter maids', as we used to call them, to actually support headteachers who are terrified of trying to get parents to do the right thing.

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence from the Minister for Climate Change: part 2
Yes, okay. The existing regulations don't work at the moment because I'm constantly coming across people who just give two fingers to a request to turn off their engine. So, could you just explain why you think powers are needed to prescribe a monetary range?…

As somebody who represents a Cardiff constituency, I'm obviously very concerned to understand the timescales on this framework because doing nothing has a huge cost for residents who live on these congested trunk roads. So, Cardiff Council has got the…

I understand what you're saying, but that's a slightly unsatisfactory situation, Minister, simply because you might no longer be in post, and somebody else who took a much more relaxed view on this really important matter might be in post. So, how can we…

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence from the Minister for Climate Change: part 1
Okay, but should this information be comprehensible to policy makers like local councillors, who have to make decisions about where they clean up the air, or is it something that needs to be easily accessible to the general public?

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence from the Minister for Climate Change: part 1
All right, so, could you just talk about those monitoring stations that don't meet the standards? Are we talking about particular local authorities or particular places where it's difficult to capture the information?

Okay, but would you agree that this is a pretty technical exercise? There is no air quality monitoring—you know, green, amber, red monitors in the two local schools in my constituency that have very high levels, or have had very high levels of poor-quality…

Good morning. I want to talk about the role of the air quality data in propelling both Government and the public into highlighting the importance of all this. Because it seems to me that the Environment Act 1995 was—local authorities undertook monitoring that…
