Climate Change scrutiny with the Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
I don't want an answer now, but I would like an answer. We know that the temperature levels of the sea have increased significantly, and we've got to cool them down. Forty per cent of the land mass in Wales is water. So, without wishing to expand this now…

Climate Change scrutiny with the Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
And I’ll be doing a talk later on about construction. So, how confident are you that those people who need to deliver have the skills and the experience to deliver it, whether that’s on-farm training about new methods—and I know we’ve done a lot of that…

The only real driver will be knowledge and the ability to translate that knowledge into action.

Statement by the Minister for Social Care: The Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. I just want to welcome this Bill that is coming forward. I particularly want to mention—. I don't want to repeat anything else, but the people who are in the public sector—and I think that we want to draw this out—the private sector…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you for that answer. And, of course, as our reliance on the digital world grows, so the risk to our data from cyber attacks increases exponentially. So, I was pleased to see the launch of CymruSOC, a security operations centre, earlier this month. It's…

Debate on the Health and Social Care Committee Report, 'Unheard: Women's journey through gynaecological cancer'
I could spend my time asking to be listened to; I could spend the whole five minutes saying, 'Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me.' And that would somehow reflect what these women have done, asked and spent their time with the health professionals doing…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
I also want to support Paul Davies in saying that some action has to be taken on the Withyhedge site. I do feel that anybody shouldn't be subjected to the fumes that may or may not be toxic and the sheer stress that has been imposed on people. I'm not, at…

General scrutiny session with the Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
My final question is: what confidence do you have in your ability to provide a civil contingency response in the event of a major incident, like they had in the Manchester Arena, for example, and, at the same time, maintain your business continuity? And how…
, Health and Social Care Committee
General scrutiny session with the Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
I have two final questions, and one is—and I think everybody would agree with this—that the ambulance service does bear a disproportionate level of risk in the health and care system. So, do you feel that the Welsh Government is focused on that, and giving…
, Health and Social Care Committee
General scrutiny session with the Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
The issue here for those particular services, and the focus on them, are those people who can't wait for treatment, so we have to have a particular focus on that. You said you managed most of it, and what you can't manage yourself you'll outsource. But along…

General scrutiny session with the Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
There has been, of course, an underperformance in services for oncology patients, and that is of particular concern. So, have you got an update on rectifying that?
, Health and Social Care Committee
General scrutiny session with the Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
Okay. I'm just going to ask about non-emergency patient transport services, but before I do that, I want to ask you to send us exactly what it is you're doing in relation to the staff welfare, sexual harassment and so on, and how you're proactive in that…

And you're absolutely right to say that the important first step to that national care service for Wales was the launch of the new national office for care and support. That important service will play an important role in supporting the chief social care…

Road map to Bus Reform - evidence session with English transport authorities
This all hinges on being able to have the skills to enter the franchising market. What level of importance do you place on franchising skills? What advice do you have on how to develop them in terms of the skills of the public sector franchising authority…

Road map to Bus Reform - Technical briefing
Was one of those opportunities, particularly here in Cardiff and other areas, the expansion of housing? So, I'm assuming that, within your modelling, you're looking at the local development plans, what's coming on stream, where it's coming on stream and where…

Road map to Bus Reform - Technical briefing
The one thing people don't like is change. It doesn't matter what the change is. So, in terms of selling that change, if you like—not only to the bus operators, but to the people who will be using a new franchise system—what systems have you got in place, so…

Road map to Bus Reform - Technical briefing

Restoration of opencast mining sites - evidence session 5
Okay. You've talked about the recommendations of the Welsh Government 2014 report on the failure to restore opencast sites and to adapt their approach, so unless there's anything further that you want to add on that, I'll assume you've said everything you…

Restoration of opencast mining sites - evidence session 5
So, obviously, you've built up a particular set of skills, and you said earlier that there aren't sufficient skills right across all local authorities. So, you're servicing 13; I'm assuming that includes yourself, as a local authority. So, 22, that leaves…

Restoration of opencast mining sites - evidence session 5
Okay. Yes, that sounds a bit complex. On balance—I don't know if you know the answer to this; you can write in if you don't—are you used more often than you're not used?
