Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 4
Can I just request that you don't use 'RTPs' and things like that, because the public won't know what on earth you're talking about?

Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 4
You've talked about planning, and Transport for Wales will play a key part in that, but there are planned corporate joint committees and they will be involved in planning for the future of public transport, because transport doesn't just stay in one…

Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 4
Chair, just on that very issue, we've taken that evidence here as a committee—. I think it was here; it might have been in a previous committee in another life, I'm not sure. But anyway, the point is that the timescale for that was somewhat in the future…

Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 4
We've talked about cleaning up cars, of course, versus taking public transport. What we haven't talked about is cleaning up public transport. When you're promoting public transport as a modal shift, what focus is being given to also, at the same time…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, nuclear is a small part of our energy-generation prospect in Wales. With our natural resources, we can offer great potential to generate renewable energy from wind, wave and tide. With that in mind, First Minister, would you agree with me how…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Rejoining the single market
Diolch, Cefin. Whilst I would love to rejoin the single market—I’d do it tomorrow, I’d go back to the European Union tomorrow and I’m sure that other people would—and I agree with everything that you’ve said, don’t you accept that, at the moment, we cannot…

Statement by the Chair of the Standards of Conduct Committee: The procedure for dealing with complaints against Members of the Senedd
Thank you, Dirprwy Lywydd. And thank you, Chair, for taking on what is an extremely complex and difficult thing to do. But I do have one question and it's about the removal of the appeals provision by majority decision. I had, as you well know, extreme…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
My question is, to you, Counsel General: therefore, do you think that it would be unwise for the UK Government to try and take that action here in Wales and cause all that mayhem?

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
As you said, it's a choice, isn't it? It's a choice of the Tory Government, which is now in disarray—it can't even agree with itself—to disallow those things within the Wales TUC Act that we currently allow. And one of those things, of course, that is…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with the secondary care sector
Thank you. I just want to go backwards slightly. You gave us some startling figures on the rates of suicide, and the 20 to 49-year-old male being probably the most likely to commit suicide. So, whilst you were talking, I wanted to explore the pre-20-year-old…

Okay. Thank you.

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with the secondary care sector
I thank you for that. You did say when we were talking about this particular group of people that very often they find themselves, according to what we were told just two weeks ago, misunderstood—that their cultures are completely misunderstood or ignored in…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with the secondary care sector
You mentioned a few things, and you did say that there was evidence backing up those from, particularly, Caribbean backgrounds. It would be helpful to us if you could give us some of that information, so we can look at it, to make recommendations. If you…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with the secondary care sector
I want to talk about—and you did mention them—ethnic minority communities and mental health Act reform. We've heard from people specifically in the ethnic minority communities, and they've told us that they can face significant cultural and language barriers…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with the primary care sector
I'd like to move on, then, to ask—. You've all mentioned the interconnectedness that needs to happen to treat the whole person, not just the problem they're presenting with, so, are there any structural or professional barriers to a more joined-up approach…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with the primary care sector
Thank you. I was waiting to be unmuted. We've had lots of evidence about the very strong link between the prescribing of antidepressants and poverty, the reason being that the GPs have got nothing else to offer. Is that your experience?

Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: Women’s Health
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. I want to talk about the issue of women who suffer traumatic injuries to their pelvic area as a result of childbirth. I know you said this is wider, but, nonetheless, it's an area that's not been talked about it. Some of them…

Statement by the Minister for Finance and Local Government: Progress on Gender Budgeting
I've been involved with gender budgeting since before my election here, as a founding member of the Wales Gender Budget Group nearly 20 years ago. So, it's not a new concept, but there remains a lot of misunderstanding around it. It's not, as you said, and…
