Nurse Staffing Levels (Wales) Act 2016: post-legislative scrutiny: evidence session with the Royal College of Nursing Wales
Just to follow up on that, I understand what you're saying about 25B, but 25A is relatively open-ended, so how can 25A be used to secure safe staffing levels for mental health, community health et cetera?

Nurse Staffing Levels (Wales) Act 2016: post-legislative scrutiny: evidence session with the Royal College of Nursing Wales
Thank you very much. If I could proceed now to another section in terms of what we've had in terms of the idea of extending the Act, you as the RCN have noted concerns about the pause of the all-Wales nurse staffing programme, and there are potential…

Nurse Staffing Levels (Wales) Act 2016: post-legislative scrutiny: evidence session with the Royal College of Nursing Wales
Could I follow that up with a more contentious question, perhaps? In my constituency, there is a hospital in Tywyn and there is a ward that has had to close in Tywyn because there are not enough nurses to sustain that ward in relation to patients. So, why…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Homelessness
Yes, it's completely unsustainable. You're right, there's no disagreement. I don't think the Government or ourselves would disagree with that. So, that's why we need to tackle it, and that's why we had last week's homelessness plan, which we will get on to in…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Homelessness
I'll get on to that in a minute, so thanks for the intervention. Let's not forget that the homelessness crisis in the UK has been largely driven by policies from successive Conservative Governments. It's the commodification of housing, Thatcherite…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Homelessness
Well, we had this discussion last week, didn't we, and the Conservatives decided to use the discussion to display an embarrassing and fundamental misunderstanding of the housing crisis to ignore the suffering of the many suffering homeless across this…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
The Minister says that the consultants and clinicians were asking back in 2010-11 for this to be introduced, but, since then, 82 per cent of clinicians have said that they oppose this policy of breach exemptions. The fact that the Welsh Government is sticking…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Diolch, Llywydd. I'll follow on from Russell George's questions, if I may. And following that response from the Minister, the Minister and the Government have tried to frame the debate around A&E waiting times and breach exemptions as a matter of…

Questions to the First Minister
Rather than complaining, I want to introduce a few ideas, if I may, on this topic. Of course, inflation and lack of funding is a clear barrier to the building of social housing and publicly owned housing, but following on from the example from the Member for…

Questions to the Senedd Commission
Well, I'm very pleased to have that response; it's a very positive one. As you've said, back in 2017 the Trades Union Congress launched this toolkit, which has been such a core part of developing the British Standards Institution's BS 30416 that you…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Thank you for that answer. My supplementary question follows on from a question by Adam Price earlier. Every party in the Senedd has called for Wales to receive our share of HS2 funding; after all, our taxes are going to pay for a project that will, in truth…
