Dentistry - evidence session with British Dental Association Wales and British Orthodontic Society
I was going to ask that question, so that's been answered. I think we've got the answer to the backlog. The current situation in hospital dentistry, which is a question for Ben, probably, so I think we've covered everything.

Except I wasn't expecting you to come back to me.

Dentistry - evidence session with British Dental Association Wales and British Orthodontic Society
No, I think we've got the idea about the morale.

Dentistry - evidence session with British Dental Association Wales and British Orthodontic Society
You've answered the second question.
13 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with British Dental Association Wales and British Orthodontic Society
So, how do we fix it? We know what the problem is.
13 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with British Dental Association Wales and British Orthodontic Society
Okay. So, do we understand fully, and we have touched on it, the recruitment problems across the area—you've looked at north Wales and south Wales, but, as I said, I'm from west Wales—and what the problems are in terms of the incentives to keep people in…

Dentistry - evidence session with British Dental Association Wales and British Orthodontic Society
Yes—[Inaudible.] Anyway, still.

—the budgets—well, somebody said it—were capped.

Dentistry - evidence session with British Dental Association Wales and British Orthodontic Society
Not really, I'm talking in general. Because you mentioned it, you said that people were looking at it and thinking—you just said it a few minutes ago—that they might not bother, that the NHS isn't open to them, because—
13 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with British Dental Association Wales and British Orthodontic Society
Yes. I want to talk about workforce and recruitment, and I notice that you're talking about north Wales and south Wales, but I live in west Wales, which is even more remote—so, just saying. You've already mentioned workforce recruitment, because the…

Debate on the Health and Social Care Committee Report: Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals
I thank the Chair for chairing the committee in a collegiate manner and for the report that has come out of that. We can't, of course, look at every aspect in this short time of what is creating the problems, but one of the problems in discharging patients at…

Debate on the Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee Report: Review of the Water Resources (Control of Agricultural Pollution) (Wales) Regulations 2021
That is probably the case in some instances. I don't accept it's the case in all instances, though, I have to say. And I don't think that businesses should be rewarded for failure to prepare or to comply with legal obligations. However, I do appreciate that…

Debate on the Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee Report: Review of the Water Resources (Control of Agricultural Pollution) (Wales) Regulations 2021
In a minute. It's not acceptable, and it does really set a poor precedent. We've heard from Huw Irranca quite clearly that it is the case that most farmers want to comply with and see the advantage of a favourable environmental condition, not only on their…

Debate on the Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee Report: Review of the Water Resources (Control of Agricultural Pollution) (Wales) Regulations 2021
I have read the report with interest. I've made my views very clear on agricultural pollution many times over many years here in this Chamber. I contrasted the tough, but necessary, action that we've taken in Wales with the regime of negligence in England…

Questions to the First Minister
Well, I just think that's ridiculous. On this International Day of the Girl Child, perhaps Liz Truss should reflect on what we teach our children about the importance of open dialogue and debate. When you do manage to catch her, would you press the Prime…

Decarbonising the private housing sector - evidence session 2
So, you don't think it would be a springboard, by next year?

Decarbonising the private housing sector - evidence session 2
Okay, thank you. We know that the Welsh Government has said repeatedly at they're doing a test- and-learn approach, and they've adopted some of that in the ORP already. The claim is that it will provide the springboard to rapidly start the decarbonisation of…

Decarbonising the private housing sector - evidence session 2
So, you mentioned bringing ideas from elsewhere into Wales, have you got a specific 'somewhere else into Wales' in mind?

Decarbonising the private housing sector - evidence session 2
Good morning, both. I just want to explore—you've already mentioned the optimised retrofit programme—how any learning from that programme can be transferred now to the private sector, if it hasn't already been, including any mechanisms or capacity constraints.

Decarbonising the private housing sector - evidence session 1
Just a very quick question. We all know that, when banks are involved in loaning money, they want to see a return—they want to see the value of that return. Are any lenders at the moment seeing a positive value in return for a property in terms of its energy…
