Business Statement and Announcement
Minister, I'd like a statement on what the Welsh Government are doing to support families who receive the Healthy Start allowance. A recent report from Food Foundation's kids food guarantee found that there are no first infant formulas available that are…

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
What are the consequences of this for us?

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
I'm going to finally ask you about correspondence with the UK Government. You said in the Chamber on 13 June that correspondence with the UK Government on aspects of the Bill that require Secretary of State consent, I quote, 'has not been a happy process'…
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
Okay. And it also says that the Bill provides for the inclusion of secondary consents—and we talked about the marine licence; that would be one—within the main infrastructure consent. How will the new process ensure that the secondary consents are assessed…

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
Okay, I'll go on to what I was going to talk about and it's the infrastructure consent orders. And the Bill states that in certain circumstances the infrastructure consent order must be contained within a statutory instrument. Could you explain why that's…

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
If I can, I just wanted to rehearse it on the same theme. We don't expect our policies, as they currently are, to be in conflict, but we won't be in Government forever—possibly we will; we've been there for 99 years. [Laughter.] But the point is, and it's the…

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
You're going to have tension in those two things that you've just described—an area that people think is obviously of significant outstanding beauty, let's say, and a developer that wants to come along and put some windfarm structure in it. We all know that…

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
I'm going to ask the next question, but I can guess the answer. But I'm going to put it on the record. The Bill allows for named SIPs to be specified in the national development framework or 'Future Wales'. Can you explain the benefit of this approach and…
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
The Bill also provides for optional SIP thresholds and criteria that sit below the compulsory thresholds and criteria. Could you explain the rationale behind that approach and provide an example of a project that might be captured by that? And I know, Julie…

Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
How easy would it be to put that flexibility in and for it to become a significant infrastructure project? Because you're right in saying that technology is moving at pace and there'll be things we don't even know about yet.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
Were there—? You mentioned a couple of things that didn't make it onto the list, and, obviously, oil exploration is an obvious. Are there other things that people might have expected, in your opinion, to be on this list that aren't on this list, and the…
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Infrastructure (Wales) Bill - Evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
Good morning, Minister. I'm going to ask about significant infrastructure projects, or SIPs, I suppose we could call them. Could you explain how you've arrived at the list of infrastructure types, and associated thresholds and criteria that then qualify as a…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: National Health Service
I'm just a little bit puzzled about the fact that you think we can have an increase in training staff cost free, because you just said that we don't need any money. And I've just been looking at the Nuffield Trust chart of the funding for the NHS from its…

Statement by the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language: Update on Post-16 Workforce Development
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Minister, I welcome this statement today. There's a report from the cross-party group on construction, 'Insights from Industry'. That was compiled with support from the Construction Industry Training Board and also the industry…

Okay, thank you.

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 8
—make it clear. But it would be interesting to look at.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Gynaecological cancers: Panel 8
Exactly. That's why I asked the question, and I'm sorry I didn't—

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 8
That's what I meant, really, was adult children.

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 8
Have you been able—? Again, I know it's going to come back to data, but the collection of data between who will ask for palliative care more frequently, and is it more likely that a parent of a child who has a cancer diagnosis or a terminal diagnosis will ask…
, Health and Social Care Committee
Gynaecological cancers: Panel 8
And finally from me, it is about terminology, and there is probably a misunderstanding from the outset, because if people are given a terminal diagnosis, it doesn't mean they're going to die straight away; people could have a terminal diagnosis that could go…
, Health and Social Care Committee
Gynaecological cancers: Panel 8
That leads me on to the immense misconceptions of the terminology, quite frankly, and the difference between palliative care and end-of-life care. How well do you think that's understood by people—I can see you shaking your head—but also by the health…
, Health and Social Care Committee
Gynaecological cancers: Panel 8
Yes, you are. I just want to explore something you've said just now, and you said that access to palliative care, one of the determinants for not seeking it is poverty. You also said earlier on, and it's a fact, that older people, women, tend to die or need…
, Health and Social Care Committee
Gynaecological cancers: Panel 8
Okay, thank you.
