Debate on a Member's Legislative Proposal: A Bill on the right to adequate housing
The response sounds a little bit like what your predecessor said, which is that you understand and sympathise with the need for a right to adequate housing, but not yet—put everything else into place first. Now, that’s an argument that could have been said…

Debate on a Member's Legislative Proposal: A Bill on the right to adequate housing
Well, the dream of a secure and comfortable home has become increasingly elusive for many in Wales, and because of the cost-of-living crisis, for too many others, their home feels more like a luxury that they can barely afford rather than a basic right. This…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care: NHS winter pressures
Happy new year to the Cabinet Secretary. Christmas and new year are times of celebration, but for many it's a difficult time, as diseases are spread, impacting particularly on the most vulnerable, with people falling, drinking to excess, not to mention the…

Statement by the First Minister: Delivering for Wales
Your style, you say, First Minister, is to listen, to act and deliver. You were the health Minister for three years, and when you left that role, the waiting lists had increased, we had fewer GPs, and we were 2,000 nurses short. Is this the result of…

Short Debate: Violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—The scourge of Wales today
The pledge that this Government has made many times, to build a safe country, sounds very empty when one hears evidence like this. The latest figures are terrifying, and, as the brave girl whom I quoted said, these figures are not numbers, but people. The…

Short Debate: Violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence—The scourge of Wales today
'I was seven years old when a man entered my life, a man who would become my stepfather. It had only been a year until I began to notice the punch marks on the doors. By the age of nine, I witnessed the first act of violence, a scene that would become all too…

Thank you very much, Llywydd. I have given, or have offered, at least, a minute of my time to Joyce Watson and Sioned Williams, and I thank them for taking an interest in this debate today. A home is supposed to be a happy place—a household full of the sound…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The First Minister's first 100 days
I'm chuffed for the people that you represent that you've got new trains, but, in my area, we've seen trains being cut, and we've seen bus journeys cut. That's the record of the first 100 days; that's the record of this Labour Government. Is that something…

Topical Questions
I welcome the fact that the Government has belatedly recognised the need for a fresh approach to the long-standing problem of delayed hospital discharges, but I do worry that the substance of the plan leaves a lot to be desired. Firstly, it’s clear that it…

I'd like to thank Sioned for asking this important question, because this evidence highlights two of the most fundamental problems that we have within the health service. And it's no surprise to many of those working in health and care sectors in hearing this…

Business Statement and Announcement
So, I'd like a statement, please, from the Deputy First Minister on the long-term prospects of Fairbourne, if possible. You will be aware that Fairbourne had a report published many years ago from the shoreline management plan, in 2009 I think, which said…

Prevention of ill health - obesity: evidence session with Food Policy Alliance Cymru
Thank you very much. I'll be asking in Welsh. Just very briefly, I'm interested in the data we have surrounding this in terms of dietary health. What data do we have? Is it sufficient? Do we collect the right kind of data, and what else could we do in order…

Prevention of ill health - obesity: evidence session with Public Health Wales
So, is that a policy question for us—that we have to look at ensuring that health boards, in terms of primary care onwards, have a single system of gathering data and make it a policy point to gather that data, and that, every time a patient goes in, they…
