Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Ending homelessness in Wales
Ensuring that every individual has the right to a safe and secure place to call a home is not just a moral imperative, but a fundamental human right. I believe that change has to be driven by the introduction of the right to adequate housing in Welsh law. By…

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Ending homelessness in Wales
The only solutions we get from the other side are to transfer more public funds into private pockets, to transfer more of the money of the poor to private enterprise and to develop that sector rather than addressing the real problem facing us. I want to take…

Questions to the First Minister
I thank the First Minister for that response. On that point of regional stroke services, given the rural nature of Wales and the fact that 80 per cent of stroke sufferers are driven to hospital rather than relying on an ambulance, does the First Minister…

Debate on the Local Government and Housing Committee Report, 'The Right to Adequate Housing'
I had prepared a speech, and I was going to talk a little bit around Vienna, Barcelona, Finland and other examples. But instead, I'm going to tell you a little story, and something that happened last night. When I left this Senedd last night, at about 8…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you for that response. The First Minister will be aware of the development in Penamser—that there is a piece of land in Penamser, Porthmadog, which is owned by the Government but is on offer to a company from Warrington, I believe, for development. The…

Questions to the First Minister
Most of us will have attended a Macmililan coffee morning over the past few days, so we should start by thanking Macmillan for their work. On a personal level, I'm grateful for what they did to help members of my own family. But, the best way of supporting…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Llywydd, and thank you, Darren Millar, for asking that question. Coincidentally, I want to talk about the A494 too, but another part of that road. We're talking now about Dolgellau through to Glan-yr-afon. That stretch of the road, like the rest of…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Community assets
On that point, are you aware that the first community enterprise in Europe was established in Llanaelhaearn—Antur Aelhaearn—under the late, great Carl Clowes? A fantastic organisation. And the first community-run pub was Tafarn y Fic, Llithfaen. Both in my…

Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: Health and Social Care System Resilience
So, while the Government has introduced a quality statement on lung health, there is no implementation plan. So, when will the Minister publish an implementation plan? Will the Minister develop an improvement plan for respiratory disease to transform and…

Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: Health and Social Care System Resilience
I thank the Minister for the statement and thank you for the opportunity to see it beforehand. We, in Plaid Cymru, of course, welcome this announcement. We led a debate, back in May, on lung health and pulmonary health, and we welcome this statement as a…

European models of health and social care: evidence session with academics
Scott, could you just elaborate on that a little bit?

European models of health and social care: evidence session with academics
I've got a million questions I could ask, but I'll try this one now. Leading on from what you said there, Chair, about preventative care: ploughing resources into sections of health, we know here in Wales and the UK, 80 per cent of the work is done in primary…

A new point from me.

European models of health and social care: evidence session with academics
Yes, thanks. I guess there are two parts to this, which are interlinked. First of all, just to give a picture, of which you're probably aware, Wales is a very rural, sparsely populated country, or at least parts of it are sparsely populated, and the distances…

European models of health and social care: evidence session with academics
Yes, thanks, and thank you both for coming into this committee and giving your expert evidence. I suppose, if we go back one step, albeit that we have different legislative frameworks in the various regions and countries, one comparison that's used every time…

I'll leave it there for now. Thank you, Chair. Thank you, Minister.

Gynaecological cancers: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
So, you don't hold them to account, and they're expected to hold themselves to account.

Gynaecological cancers: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
Okay, but if you don't want to intervene too much, who holds the health boards to account for these failures?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Gynaecological cancers: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you. Finally, if I may, Chair, on that, you say that there is a need to build, and the word you used was 'resilience'. More capacity is required. Whose responsibility is that, therefore? Is it the responsibility of the Government, or the responsibility…
