Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Incontinence
I want to thank you, Jenny, for bringing forward this really important debate today. As a co-submitter and member of the cross-party group on women's health, I fully support discussions on topics like incontinence, which are all too often avoided, as people…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 4
Are you content that the understanding in general practice of the symptoms of the different gynaecological cancers is there, that they are aware, particularly when we're talking about ovarian cancer, for example, where, as you said in your opening statement…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 4
No. I want to ask about the experience in Swansea, because you work in Swansea, and how in Swansea you deal with all the different groups, ethnic groups, and are you content that you have the reach into those communities, or is there work that needs to be…
, Health and Social Care Committee
Gynaecological cancers: Panel 4
You talked about and you've outlined those who might be able to help and to advise, but are there any specific issues that we need to know about—a reluctance, perhaps, to seek help? What can be done to address that in terms of ensuring women and girls from…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 4
Okay. And, Dr Ali, do you want to add anything?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Gynaecological cancers: Panel 4
Good morning. I see in the written evidence that the Royal College of General Practitioners say that women don't often realise that they may be presenting with symptoms of a gynaecological cancer. So, what action is needed to increase symptom awareness and…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 3
Thank you.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Gynaecological cancers: Panel 3
Yes. We were talking about the tools that are commonly used at the moment, and the most is ultrasound for ovarian cancer, or the CA125 blood test. Are you confident that GPs have the skills, first of all, to interpret those results, and, if necessary…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 3
Thank you.

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 3
We know that there's big investment now in multidisciplinary hubs, and in lots of those there are GPs attached to them. Would it be worth while thinking about sessions particularly for women's health, gynaecological health, and maybe a weekly clinic, to take…
, Health and Social Care Committee
Gynaecological cancers: Panel 3
Isn't there also a danger that that's what people want to hear? You know, 'Oh, my test results are fine.' Something in the back of your head is telling you it's not fine, but you've got this piece of paper that tells you it is fine.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Gynaecological cancers: Panel 3
Talking about the system and moving on, why do you think that some women with gynaecological cancer symptoms are misdiagnosed by their GP?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Gynaecological cancers: Panel 3
Just following on, is there room for advocates here for those who don't want to challenge, and maybe for those who don't want to be challenged? If there is room for advocates, what should that advocate look like? Who can do that?

Statement by the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip: Update on Wales: A Nation of Sanctuary
I will, thank you. And we're ready to help those people in need, and thankfully, we have a Government here that supports that view. But I would like to ask you for an update, Minister. You did update in February on the Ukraine humanitarian response, and you…

Statement by the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip: Update on Wales: A Nation of Sanctuary
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. First, I want to put on record my disgust at the misuse and abuse of the basic income pilot that has been put together for care leavers, and this is people who are leaving care, who need the sanctuary and compassion and the response…

I don't cycle them. Try cycling up Haverfordwest—that would be a test. [Laughter.] But the point I'm trying to make is about a wider understanding of what active travel is. It's not just about you actively engaging in the travel, but whether you're taking…

I know your area well; I cover it, and I know all your roads.

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence session 3
And just one final question in this area. At the moment, it seems that if we did have any charges, the net proceeds from charging schemes should be reinvested in policies or proposals relating directly to transport. So, do you have a view on that? Of course…

I was going to ask you about unintended consequences, but you have pre-empted that. You mentioned the unintended consequence of traffic pollution. We had earlier evidence that cited other unintended consequences, and that is the affordability of vehicles, if…

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence session 3
I'm going to ask you about whether you think that Welsh Ministers should have expanded powers to create charging schemes for trunk roads. Should the Bill set out any specific thresholds or criteria to be met prior to the introduction of any such scheme?

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence session 3
It wasn't on the monitoring. Well, it was on the monitoring, but it was on something Ian said, about linking up policies and the consideration that you give to one affecting the other. The question I asked previously was about planning, and linking up spatial…

If you had—yes.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence session 2
I think, moving on, at the moment, if you have a charging scheme, they can only be used for policies or proposals relating to transport, and yet you've demonstrated quite nicely that the impact is much wider than transport. So, assuming that they came in…

Nobody.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence session 2
Yes. You have talked about trunk road charging—you did it, I think, in your opening, a few of you. Should the Bill set out any specific targets—I know what you're going to say, Sarah—and if they do have specific targets, what should the threshold and the…
