It's on monitoring. How do we know if we've changed anything if we don't know what it is that we've changed? So, is it being monitored across Wales, which will then, in turn, inform management?

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Women's healthcare
I want to thank Delyth and her co-submitters and supporters for raising what is an incredibly important issue. We all know that, for too long, women’s experience of pain, be it menstrual, reproductive or chronic, has been dismissed or trivialised. It’s not a…

Motion under Standing Order 26.79 to withdraw the Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill
I'm hugely disappointed that we are where we are today. I think it raises some level of concern about putting Bills forward when they're questionable whether we have the powers to exercise what we want. So, my first question will be that we don't do that…
