The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence session 2
I think that that last statement leads nicely to what I was going to ask anyway. When people do decide to take recreational activities, very often, they all end up in the same place at the same time in the same way. And you will have high levels of pollution…

Okay, that's enough, I think.

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence session 1
Moving on to another area—trunk road charging schemes. You suggest in your evidence that the introduction of trunk road charging schemes should be accompanied by—and I quote—substantive social equity issues. Do you want to expand?

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence session 1
Thank you. Moving forward, and we're talking about local air quality management, there are, as you've mentioned, lots of players in this, lots of considerations that have to be given. One of those considerations, of course, would be planning, when you're…

Debate on the Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee Report—'Decarbonising the private housing sector'
I thank the Minister for her response, and yes, we can always go further, and I agree with Jenny's frustration that we all share in the fact that we're not going further and we're not going faster. And I want to speak particularly on the performance, or the…

Business Statement and Announcement
Trefnydd, I'd welcome an opportunity to discuss the written statement that you issued last week on nutrient management. I understand why the Government has delayed the implementation of the 170 kg/ha nitrogen whole-farm limit again, but it's imperative that…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Social Services: Historical Adoption Practices
Diolch, Llywydd. I, like Jane, want to express my admiration for the bravery that the women who have brought this forward have demonstrated, because that's not easy, and it was necessary—that's the issue. When we're talking about the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s…

Okay. That's it from me.

Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
Okay. And finally from me, we do have a code of conduct for funding to the third sector, and whether we can ensure that the procurement regime will adhere to that code of conduct for funding to the third sector, and, more crucially, how you ensure that people…

Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
And the other question: we're talking about procurement, so, therefore, we also have to talk about competitive tendering, because those two align in places; they have to. It underpins all that openness and transparency that people were talking about. So, in…

Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
Most of my questions have been asked, but there are a few that haven't, and one is about communicating the new procurement regime so that it's understood by everybody—good luck with that, is what I say—but, anyway, when I say 'everybody', the people who need…

Yes, because that was a really good example, I think, of what we were trying to disentangle previously. Shall I go on to my—?

I want to give a voice to community pharmacies here. It's a real example of that crossover between what we were talking about earlier on, about that joint procuring—I don't think that was the right term, but, anyway, whatever that term was—and our desire, of…

But have we got enough people to be trained and enough people to train them?

Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
We all know that procurement officers are not readily available to everybody, so the question, then, that follows—there are three questions. You've got a timescale for this Bill coming forward and you've got another timescale where you've recognised that…

Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
Okay.

Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
Yes. I just want to, if I can, explore the crossover that's going to inevitably happen here, because you're talking about clinical services only, but clinical services very often depend on non-clinical services, like pharmaceuticals, that Jenny just…

Questions to the Senedd Commission
I think that's a fair point, Jenny. We have a lot of information around and about, but it's at different stages, very often, of women's lives. It's not just endometriosis; it's the menopause, it's other factors for different people. So, I think, where we can…

Questions to the Senedd Commission
Right, I can speak now. We do have a system in place where we have, in the past, promoted physical and mental well-being with campaigns, and one of those campaigns was Endometriosis Awareness Month last year. We do share communications with staff and include…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
I thank you for that answer. I'm deeply concerned, as others in this Chamber are, at the impact the UK Government's Illegal Migration Bill is going to have on efforts to combat human slavery and protect human rights in Wales if it's passed at Westminster. As…
