Gynaecological cancers: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you. I read the same article. I want to look further at the rapid diagnostic centres. There are really good reports about them, and it means that all those tests that people need when they're referred happen in the same place, and that the results are…

Gynaecological cancers: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
We had evidence from Dr Louise Hanna of the cancer site group, and she talks about resilience—building in resilience. And she also points to the fact that some gynaecological cancers are fairly uncommon when you compare them with other cancers and that the…

Gynaecological cancers: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
Just a quick question on the referral rate having gone from 3 per cent to 5 per cent, or the expectation—and that's post-pandemic. So, have you been able to analyse whether that is because people are presenting late? A figure's a figure, but what we want to…

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with Community groups & RTPI Cymru
We've also heard from Anglesey or Ynys Môn council, and they, in their evidence paper, question where the strategic development plans currently under development will sit in this hierarchy, because they're in the making but they haven't arrived. I suppose…

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with Community groups & RTPI Cymru
I think there's a whole debate about what we need, and setting out what we need would perhaps benefit the NSIP process and remove some of the debate about the need and the speeding up of that examination. You're nodding your head, so you obviously agree with…

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with Community groups & RTPI Cymru
You started talking about policy gaps—energy you cited; we've had others cite ports and radioactive waste geological disposal as other examples. Moving on, do you think that there are gaps in planning policy for significant infrastructure? And you did say…

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with Community groups & RTPI Cymru
I'm going to ask about the status and hierarchy of planning policies, because this is going to be I think where lots of issues could or couldn't arise, and you sort of touched on it in your previous answer—which policy takes precedence. And a lot of people…

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with Natural Resources Wales and the National Infrastructure Commission for Wales
This is to David Clubb particularly, this question. You say in your paper that the Bill presents a real opportunity to ensure the well-being of future generations Act is applied in that decision making, and that the current planning decisions are more heavily…

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with Natural Resources Wales and the National Infrastructure Commission for Wales
The Minister said in evidence that she's not aware of any policy gaps and that currently no infrastructure policy statements are planned. But yet, last week, Kelvin MacDonald, a former planning inspector, said that there appeared to be some gaps, and he cited…

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with Natural Resources Wales and the National Infrastructure Commission for Wales
Just keeping on that same theme, and it's questions around the status and hierarchy of the planning policies. We've had expressions where there is concern about that hierarchy and the provisions for infrastructure policy statements in the Bill. You've already…

Emergency Question: Net Zero
Unlike my colleague for Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire, I'm not going to be an apologist for the Tory Party for rolling back on their promises. I would like to see some of them actually stand by the power of their conviction, instead of waiting for a…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The health budget
I'd like to know which part of the £1 million that you've given us as a capital settlement this year you think will build that hospital. If you can find somebody to build it for £1 million, I'm sure the Welsh Government will come aboard and build it.

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The health budget
I thank you. When we talk about mismanagement of funds by the Tory Government and the health budget, what about the personal protection equipment scandal that was given? If we had all that money from the PPE scandal, hundreds of millions of pounds, we would…

Questions to the Senedd Commission

Questions to the Senedd Commission
In answer to your question, and you said particularly about the rem board, my understanding is the rem board has made no decision in relation to international visits. There may be some confusion following the review of the determination, which removed…
