Welsh Conservatives Debate: NHS waiting lists
Yes, it has only been there for two weeks. What is it that's not adequate about this now? You said it's not an adequate plan, so what would make it adequate in your view?

Welsh Conservatives Debate: NHS waiting lists
So, we absolutely have to change, and I think that the recovery plan is a coherent plan for change. But doing things the way they have always been done is definitely not an option.

—had a Greek ophthalmologist—. A Greek othalmologist was—. An appropriate person was offered the job by this health board, and, when the Home Office told them they couldn't allow their family to come with them, guess what? They decided they didn't want to…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: NHS waiting lists
I agree. And that was on my little list. [Laughter.] So, the Welsh Government is investing £43 million in social care, which is the main cause of delayed transfer of care, by offering the real living wage to make it more attractive to go into social care and…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: NHS waiting lists
The experience of Altaf Hussain is, I'm sure, repeated, and I know it's repeated, amongst many of my constituents, but that doesn't really get us very far, in the sense that we can acknowledge that the service is under huge strain at the moment, not least the…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): The Holodomor
I'd just like to say that the role of journalists in uncovering these dreadful acts of genocide is absolutely crucial. And would you agree also that the death of Shireen Abu Akleh in Palestine, apparently by Israeli forces, is another example of how…

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Welsh Housing Quality Standard 2
—there are opportunities from the zero-rated VAT on insulation that private landlords ought to be incentivised to seize. I'm not looking for grants; I want loans for private landlords so they do the right thing. Ultimately, I want to see sticks for private…

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Welsh Housing Quality Standard 2
I'd like to thank you, all your predecessor Ministers with housing responsibility, and all the other stakeholders involved in bringing WHQS to all our social housing. That doesn't mean to say there isn't more work to be done. I've still got tenants living in…

Questions to the Senedd Commission
Thank you. These behavioural measures need to start with the way that the electrical lighting system is set up. For example, my colleague Mike Hedges, the lights are permanently on in his office, whereas it took a huge effort on my part to get the business…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Thank you, Counsel General. The current building, which sits in my constituency, in outdated and utterly inadequate. It's unsafe for families and it's not a good place for the judiciary, its staff and lawyers to be working in. As it's the responsibility of…

Questions to the First Minister
That's, of course, disappointing, because, obviously, Welsh clubs do play in the England and Wales leagues. We can all recall the tragic death of Emiliano Sala over three years ago, whose plane crashed on his way to Cardiff from Nantes. Last year, David…

So, lastly from me, if you've not been involved in the Net Zero Wales skills plan development, how do you know it's going to be fit for purpose?

Okay. So, these are the equivalent of the consultant orthopaedic surgeon. What can be done to grow the numbers of people who are going to be keeping pace with this changing technological environment?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Decarbonisation of Housing - evidence session 4
Okay. It's a bit like the new curriculum in schools—we don't know what young people are going to need to know in the future, because their jobs haven't been invented yet. But, clearly, the new technology is evolving, so we don't know exactly what we're going…

We heard in the second session from three of the social housing organisations—so, Pobl, ClwydAlyn and Linc-Cymru—who've all been involved in the ORP. They were great on telling us about the complexity of persuading tenants to embrace the new technologies…

So, if there were to be some sort of low or zero-rated loan scheme, private landlords would take that up, would they, if they got enough clarity on the technical detail?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Decarbonisation of Housing - evidence session 3
Okay. Do your members understand that they too have responsibilities? They can't just leave it to local authorities, or just leave it to Welsh Government; they own these properties, and therefore they have responsibilities to ensure that they're much more…

Okay. What is the role of Rent Smart Wales is transmitting the message that we can't hand around on this one any longer, that we absolutely have to get on with it for all the energy security and fuel poverty issues that we don't need to rehearse?
