Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Public Health Wales
Success in engaging with communities who are dealing with mental health inequalities.

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Public Health Wales
[Inaudible.]—significantly your engagement with the community, which was one of my questions. So, what would success look like? How do you measure it?

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Public Health Wales
I just wanted to go back very briefly to the rural nature of isolation. You've mentioned, quite rightly, certain groups that would be, and we know from history, subject to developing serious mental health issues. But there's another group that I would be…

Okay. Thank you.

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Professor Carolyn Wallace, Wales School for Social Prescribing Research (WSSPR)
Do you think—? Because you said that this is a two-way street. You said some of the GPs had shown initial interest, but now that interest had declined. Is it because there's a sort of mutual attitude that might be a little bit less enthusiastic towards social…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Professor Carolyn Wallace, Wales School for Social Prescribing Research (WSSPR)
I want to move on to the public's attitude towards social prescribing, because, obviously, if it's going to be successful, that's where it has to be successful. Do you think people are aware, that their awareness is where it should be in terms of social…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Professor Carolyn Wallace, Wales School for Social Prescribing Research (WSSPR)
Good morning. I just want to go back to engaging with the stakeholders and ask you some questions around that. You did start to talk about buy-in from GPs, but I'd like to explore that a little bit more, and know what that looks like, and also with healthcare…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Women's health
I'm pleased to be speaking in this hugely important debate today. We've heard about the number of diseases that are unique to women and also a whole host of other diseases that disproportionately impact women's health and well-being. One of the key focuses of…

Debate on the Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee report: Report on the Welsh Government’s marine policies
I'm really pleased to speak in this debate today, and I thank Llyr for his expert chairing, and my fellow committee members for bringing forward the report and the recommendations. There's a lot to unpack, but the clear message we received was about the need…

Topical Questions
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. We've already seen, of course, some of the damage from the oven-ready Brexit, or the half-baked idea, as I prefer to call it, on the ports in Wales, because they're bypassing our ports already. So, we've already seen that. It is, of…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
If David Cameron hadn't, as he put it, 'cut the green crap' a decade ago, we'd be further along on renewable and nuclear and energy efficiency, and households would be paying less for energy, not more. So, I agree that we need to catch up, but the other side…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Alcohol-related harm
I'm really pleased to be speaking in this debate. It's a really important topic. It has a profound impact on so many people's lives. Alcohol harm in Wales, and indeed the UK, is a significant issue. When you take a step back and look at how frequently it's…

Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 2
I'll open with that question: do consumers have enough choice in their broadband infrastructure providers? And how aware consumers are of the options provided by smaller broadband providers? And I ask that because you talked about small-scale developments.

Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 2
I'm not hard to reach, and I've got both your connections straight outside my door, because I live in Pembrokeshire. My question is this: we focus very heavily on where we are now, but you have to focus on where we're going, and where we're going at the…

Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 2
There are lots of broadband initiatives. There's Access Broadband Cymru, local broadband fund and the gigabit voucher scheme. First of all, are they effective? And if we're moving into a new age, let's say, do they need changing? Are there new schemes that…

Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 2
It's an obvious question, since you didn't answer, any of you, the last one on who pays for the new upgrade. If you've got a social tariff in place, and we know that people are going to have to move to a new system they might not be able to afford, in other…

Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 2
It is an industry-led initiative, and I accept that things need to progress. But who's paying the price for it? Is it the consumer or the industry that's going to benefit, because, ultimately, our job is to ensure parity for both? So, it's just a fairly…

Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 2
Just on that very point, can I ask another question?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 2
It is, and it's about any concerns about the impact of the move to voice over internet protocol. What do people truly understand about that, what do they know about it, and whose job is it to let them know?

Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 1
My question's been answered.

Digital connectivity in Wales - evidence session 1
Right, the second part—the impact of the move to voice over internet protocol, and whether you think there's enough awareness in the communities about it.

Good morning. I just want your thoughts about concerns that you might have about the impact of the move to voice over internet protocol and, added to that—[Inaudible.]

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The Welsh Economy
I thank you for taking the intervention. And, yes, it is right that the pandemic was supported at a UK level, but what I'm interested to hear you explain is whether you think that that shouldn't have been the case. Because, surely, in a pandemic, it is the…
