Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
Evidence from Tai Pawb showed that the biggest rise in use of temporary accommodation has been in the least suitable forms, including hotels and bed-and-breakfast accommodation. Such accommodation can have logistical issues, including families sharing one…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
Thank you very much, Llywydd. I want to start by drawing the Minister's attention to the state of temporary accommodation and the use of temporary accommodation here in Wales. The latest statistics show that back on 30 April there were 10,444 individuals…

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Update on Building Safety
Thank you to the Minister for today's statement. I am grateful for the update, and once again, I welcome the steps that the Welsh Government is taking to tackle this serious and complex issue. Again, it is good to see the agreement between Plaid Cymru and the…

Thank you very much to everyone in the NHS, yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: NHS at 75
If we are serious about defending and protecting the NHS, then we must invest in the workforce. I know that the Minister has argued previously that the NHS is employing more nurses than ever before, for instance, but yet, over 8,000 hospital beds have been…

Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: NHS at 75
The health service is a treasure that must be defended and protected. Ever since its creation, there has been a debate on the privatisation of health care, or introducing further elements of privatisation into the health system, but we must safeguard against…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 8
Thank you very much. Sorry, I am aware that time is scarce. I'm on Zoom therefore can't see the communication clearly. But finally on my part, if I may, this is your opportunity: what recommendations should this committee make to the Welsh Government to…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 8
I was interested specifically in something that one of you said earlier, that there was a lack of understanding regarding basic terms, for example, 'end-of-life care', and people just not having come across that term before, and therefore perhaps not…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 8
Thank you. Therefore, from what you're saying now, the ambition is very aspirational, there has been progress in funding. But, given those aspirations and the needs that are on the increase, do you think that the funding in place for hospices is sufficient?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Gynaecological cancers: Panel 8
There we are. Thank you. And thank you for your evidence this morning, it's been very valuable, in my view. Going on a little, I just want to know your views on whether the Welsh Government is investing in the right services when it comes to supporting women…

Thank you very much, Chair. Can I check that the interpretation is working? Can we have confirmation of that?

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 7
Thank you very much. And finally from me, what opportunities does the new system provide for clinicians in terms of providing the intelligence they're calling for, specifically data on component waits within the gynaecological cancer pathway? Do you agree…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 7
You mentioned, in starting that answer, about the information that Professor Tom Crosby has said, that you weren't aware of it and that you would go back and perhaps discuss with him to see. I wonder whether, having received that information, you could relay…
, Health and Social Care Committee
Gynaecological cancers: Panel 7
Thank you very much for that, Helen. Thinking, therefore, about this new system, Professor Tom Crosby told this committee that there are significant limitations to the new system in terms of the patient and treatment data being captured. He said that data…
, Health and Social Care Committee
Gynaecological cancers: Panel 7
Thank you. So, I will ask this question directly to Helen, if I may: why has it taken so long to implement the new cancer networks informatics system and when will the roll-out be complete across Wales? What assurances can you give us that there will be no…
, Health and Social Care Committee
Gynaecological cancers: Panel 7
Thank you. And, so, to follow up that last point, is the data therefore giving us a clear picture of that and the reasons why? Or are there other types of data or more information that we need to collect in order to give us a better and clearer picture of…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 7
Thank you very much, Chair, and thank you for joining us this morning. Can I just ask—? I have a set of questions that I want to ask, but very briefly, Dyfed, you mentioned there the statistics and the survival rates for ovarian cancer, and how they're among…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Wales is now 664 GPs short of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development average. It's a damning indictment of the extent to which the vitality of our health service has been sapped in recent years. It's no surprise that GPs are complaining of…
, Plenary
Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you for that response. Of course, it's not just money that's important, as you've emphasised; it's the GPs who are important—that workforce. But as you've noted yourself, whilst the registered patients on GPs' books have increased hugely—over 100,000 in…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
The proportion of the NHS budget committed to GP services has fallen to historic lows in recent years, compared to the 8.7 per cent level in 2005-06, which has not only led to swingeing cuts in provision, but also an increase in the number of practices…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you very much, Llywydd. Today, the BMA launches it's Save our Surgeries campaign. There was an event today here in the Senedd, and it was good to see the Minister attending that event. This crucial part of our health service has suffered a decade of…
