Gynaecological cancers: Panel 8
Okay. And could you tell us what the other research priorities for Marie Curie Palliative Care Research Centre at Cardiff University are at the moment?

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 8
You referred to a palliative care and end-of-life dashboard and you say that will provide data on how patients with gynaecological cancers interacted—you started talking about that—particularly in their last year of life. Will it become a public, that…

Thank you.

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 7
And finally from me, to the Wales Cancer Intelligence and Surveillance Unit, can you briefly outline the role the unit has in cancer genome data research, particularly in preventing, and treating women with, gynaecological cancers, because we know, very…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 7
Okay. Thank you. There's been a lot of talk about artificial intelligence. Would it be useful? There have been pros and cons—we've seen them—with people walking away from it. But do you think there's a place for AI in improving the understanding and access to…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 7
You could. The Royal College of Pathologists say digital technology, particularly digital pathology, can eliminate the need for transportation of specimens, or prepared slides, and it just helps streamline the process and reduce the time taken to diagnose, I…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 7
That brings me neatly on, as a question, to the Wales Cancer Intelligence and Surveillance Unit, because your paper does say that that evaluation of the 2016 lung cancer system and awareness campaign did involve—and that's great news—some of the work that…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 7
Good morning. I just want to ask: is all data collected equally on cancer? I'm just trying to get underneath why there's—. You said that, for ovarian cancer, if I heard you right—the latest report was 2020—that you'd fallen behind. That's obviously the case…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Rural communities
Well, I don't know how you were taught maths in school, but I do know how I was taught maths in school, and what I know about maths is that £1 billion less can't possibly be more. A minus is a minus; a minus doesn't become a plus just because you get up and…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Rural communities
I'm going to remind us about the rural communities and the investment that the EU funds have contributed to that rural economy. In mid Wales, the current round has created more than 2,750 jobs and 655 new businesses. More than 1,900 businesses received…

Debate on petition P-06-1340, 'Stop the change of speed limits to 20mph on 17th September'
I want to give an example. I've campaigned for many, many years on 20's Plenty, and it is. And the reason that I first came into it, if you want any evidence, was talking to a bereaved family when a child had been killed in my area in a road traffic accident…

Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: National Immunisation Programme for Wales
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. I want to thank you, Minister, for your statement today, and I'm going to focus my contribution, my whole minute, on the human papillomavirus, the HPV vaccine. We know that it protects against cancers caused by HPV, including nearly…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you for that answer, First Minister. The Welsh Government is, indeed, supporting and creating jobs in mid Wales, and that is key to keeping and attracting more young people to that region. But I read with deep unease media reports about alleged threats…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Devolution of justice and policing
I do want to support the principle that powers on justice and policing should be devolved to Wales. The Welsh Government is committed to pursuing that case and preparing for the devolution of police and justice. We have all here seen the results of 13 long…

Annual scrutiny of operation of interim environmental protection measures - evidence session with the Interim Environmental Protection Assessor for Wales
You've talked about the report on the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill. Would you like to reflect on the process of liaising with the Welsh Government on that, and the Welsh Government's reasoning for providing a response to the REUL report later…

Annual scrutiny of operation of interim environmental protection measures - evidence session with the Interim Environmental Protection Assessor for Wales
With that learning having happened, are you confident that the reports on hedgerows, protected sites and civil sanctions will be provided to the Welsh Government before the end of your term?

Annual scrutiny of operation of interim environmental protection measures - evidence session with the Interim Environmental Protection Assessor for Wales
So it has been, really, a useful learning curve for you.

Annual scrutiny of operation of interim environmental protection measures - evidence session with the Interim Environmental Protection Assessor for Wales
Bore da. We've noted that there's been some delay in the forestry report, and you mention it in your submission to us. Would you like to explain what the barriers to that publication were? Because it was due in June. So, if you'd just like to talk us through…

Annual scrutiny of operation of interim environmental protection measures - evidence session with the Interim Environmental Protection Assessor for Wales
I just think that if we're on reports, maybe I might as well do that section, if you're agreeable, or do you want to end this session and move—?

Annual scrutiny of operation of interim environmental protection measures - evidence session with Office for Environmental Protection and Environmental Standards Scotland
Okay, and where did you manage to find your staff and your expertise, and how did you go about doing that?
21 June 2023 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Annual scrutiny of operation of interim environmental protection measures - evidence session with Office for Environmental Protection and Environmental Standards Scotland
Thank you. Good morning, both. I think quite a few of the questions have been asked, but you started talking about your reflections on establishing the interim OEP prior to the legislation. Do you have anything further to add?

Legislative Consent Motion on the Illegal Migration Bill
No, I'm not, because I'm going to have my say. This is not only chipping away at devolution, and here we see the chipping away of devolution under the auspices, apparently, of an Illegal Migration Bill, but they've done it elsewhere too. So, they stop at…

Legislative Consent Motion on the Illegal Migration Bill
I want to speak, obviously, in favour of what the Minister has put forward. It's worth noting, isn't it, that this is headed the Illegal Migration Bill, rather than an assumption to help asylum seekers—because, mainly, that's what we're talking about—and…
