Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with ADSS Cymru and BASW Cymru
Moving on from what you've just said, you mentioned children's services having a particular challenge. Are there any wider challenges within the workforce that you would like us to recommend to the Minister, because ultimately that's what we'll be doing with…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with ADSS Cymru and BASW Cymru
The question is, and we've had evidence accordingly: the workforce is a key issue in the delivery of the services that we have discussed. So, how much impact is the workforce having on the ability to deliver?

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with ADSS Cymru and BASW Cymru
I'm going to move on to workforce and really ask—ADSS, you said in your paper that workforce pressures are hampering the ability to do all the things that we've discussed so far. So, what is the true impact of the workforce pressures in the care system?

It would be really useful. When you are talking about making your case for dedicated funding, it would help.

We've talked a lot about money, because we have to; there's very little of it in the public sector. Have you done calculations in terms of the rehab services that you offer that save the NHS money in terms of getting people out of hospital, because of all the…

Chair, can I ask one final question?
8 February 2024 , Health and Social Care Committee
Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with Allied Health Professionals
Can I just ask one more question? In terms of access to food, which we're going to talk about, the projection going forward with diabetes and other health-related issues that then become chronic, do you look at all at foodbanks, or do you have any link-up…

The other thing, of course, is that people living in deprived areas are more likely to have multiple health issues, and the health disparities become pretty obvious, let's be honest. So, what action can we do to help in those circumstances? And that's to both…

My questions are to the Royal College of Occupational Therapists. In your paper, you do mention social factors impacting people's ability to engage in prevention and self-management activities, and then going on to health inequalities. So, what particular…

But there's also another specific group, and that's the black, Asian and minority ethnic group, with known factors of health issues that they will perhaps present with. How do we help and support those not to fall into being chronically ill? How well are they…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with primary and secondary care representatives
Please. So, I'm going to move on to inequalities. We know, and you've already mentioned it, that certain areas are more likely to experience multiple chronic conditions, particularly in their good health, because of where they live or who they are. So, what…

I'm just going to bring one other thing into the whole question, and it's a sudden change in a person's well-being, through maybe a stroke, a severe heart attack, or the onset of Parkinson's and being diagnosed with what, effectively, is a long-term…

Just on that point, we're seeing more and more a hub, a medical hub, where different disciplines exist within that. First of all, do they ease the situation you describe and allow a GP to have more time, and, if they do, or if they don't, how could they?
