Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: evidence session with health bodies
Is there a danger, if we're so far ahead of the game in understanding this system, that England might pinch people like Jonathan, and start, if you like, a competitiveness—and there already is a competitiveness with procurement officers—beyond the one we've…

Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: evidence session with health bodies
Okay. So, we know, because we've already talked about the contracts with the third sector, the private providers and the NHS providers in both England and Wales, that's in operation now. Where do you see the challenges, going forward, if there are any?

Is there real danger, then, of gaps?

Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: evidence session with health bodies
Well, not really. So, how challenging is that, because provision is key, obviously? How challenging is that, because you said next summer, if I heard you right? It's not a great run-in time, is it? So, will you be prepared? Have you got enough information to…

Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: evidence session with health bodies
That does help, yes. Thank you. So, how much competitive tendering for health services is actually undertaken currently in Wales? And is it a significant demand on staff time and resources, and will that change?
9 March 2023 , Health and Social Care Committee
Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: evidence session with health bodies
Yes. Thank you, Huw, for your answer and explanation about the opportunities. It seems, if I've understood it right—and there's every possibility I haven't—that, under the current procurement rules, it's purely financial. That's what I was hearing, and it's…

Debate on the Petitions Committee Report, 'The Final Bend? P-06-1253 Ban greyhound racing in Wales'
—and we've heard that there are people who are good owners and people who are awful owners, but you'll all know the song 'Another One Bites the Dust', and another one, and another one, and that is relevant here; it doesn't matter how good an owner you are…

Debate on the Petitions Committee Report, 'The Final Bend? P-06-1253 Ban greyhound racing in Wales'
Thank you very much. And just on the point that you're making, there's no suggestion in this report whatsoever that this will go wider, or open the door. This has actually focused quite rightly on the petition, which is about a phased ban being introduced for…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
Thank you for that answer, Deputy Minister. Of course, our region has everything to offer, from stunning beaches to the international dark sky reserve in the Brecon Beacons, which, of course, will be celebrating its tenth anniversary this year. And that, I'm…

Debate: The Final Budget 2023-24
I just wondered, within those figures, and that meeting that you had with the housing association, whether they mentioned the disastrous budget that has increased people’s mortgages by up to £600 a month, by Liz Truss’s ideologically driven budget that people…

Questions to the First Minister
I welcome the progress on Northern Ireland, or the Windsor protocol, but I share your concerns that the deal agreed last week could have a negative impact on Welsh ports, and that includes Fishguard and Pembroke. Brexit has done a good job in boosting French…

Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Chair of Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board: evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
You sort of skated around it without naming it and that's the equality and diversity that exists within the health board. And some of the regions are really poor, and with poverty, we know, come related health problems and none more so than all the challenges…

Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Chair of Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board: evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
Just in the same vein, really, there's a lot of balance—you're accountable to the Minister, but you're giving oversight to the chief executive officer. So, whilst you can, and will, according to what you've said, be robust in ensuring that the CEO is…
