Halting and reversing the loss of nature by 2030 - evidence session with environmental organisations
We are, yes. We've heard lots of evidence. You've given lots of evidence over the years that more than half of Wales's inshore area is within a designation, but less than 50 per cent of the site features are in favourable condition. That's almost a given now…

Halting and reversing the loss of nature by 2030 - evidence session with academics
So, you're happy, or content, as much as you can be, that the monitoring of biodiversity is given due credence in all the rest of the work that's ongoing.

Halting and reversing the loss of nature by 2030 - evidence session with academics
The Welsh Government says that the progress towards the biodiversity targets would be through SoNaRR and additional data collection will be minimised, given existing data collection for established UK and international commitments. What do you feel about that?

Halting and reversing the loss of nature by 2030 - evidence session with academics
Monitoring biodiversity—so, I suppose the big question is: what are we monitoring and how are we using it? So, to what extent is academic data collection on biodiversity feeding through to the more centralised databases, and then, in turn, being used in…

Halting and reversing the loss of nature by 2030 - evidence session with academics
I want to talk about one of the things that concern me—you may not have a view, it's not on the paper—which is the increased use of sea resource to replace plastic, and we're talking particularly about seaweed. I don't know whether any of you have done any…

Statement by the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs: Cleaning up our rivers, lakes and seas
I welcome your statement, Minister, and I know that we're all aware of climate change. In terms of the nutrient management board, they have to factor in the fact that we had the wettest winter, autumn and spring on record last year, and it will probably be…

Annual scrutiny of operation of interim environmental protection measures - evidence session with the Interim Environmental Protection Assessor for Wales
The final question is this: you gave some advice to Natural Resources Wales that resulted in them introducing a public register and they created a regional advisory committee as a sub-body of their land management committee after you gave submissions to them…

Annual scrutiny of operation of interim environmental protection measures - evidence session with the Interim Environmental Protection Assessor for Wales
So, in terms of that you've mentioned legal particularly, and we've done many inquiries where we're being told that that's a very scarce resource anyway in Wales, and you're up against it in trying to manage even to get anyone legal to work with you, how much…

Good morning. I just would like to ask, you've got the additional staff that you've got, and they're very welcome to you, I'm sure, and they'd be welcome to us too, but the question would be: would you have liked to have seen any other resource changes, apart…

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with Care Inspectorate Wales and Social Care Wales
I'm going to talk about the fact that the Bill places a duty to submit and publish annual returns on service providers themselves, rather than Care Inspectorate Wales—yourself—and it makes failure to publish them an offence. What are your views on those…

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with the Minister for Social Care
And finally from me, it says that health board representatives told us that there is no performance framework for CHC, as it’s being revised, and it’s critical with metrics to capture and measure progress and success. So, can you give us some assurances when…

Also, going back to issues with continuing healthcare, there is a review—. Under the current CHC framework that became operational as of 1 April 2022, five years later, there would be a review, which will take place in 2026-27. There is an ask, would it not…
