Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
I'm very pleased to hear that, and I do hope that Members here, in representing their constituents, will remind their health boards in their constituencies and regions that they have that discretion. I'm also pleased to hear the Minister mention long COVID…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you very much, Diprwy Lywydd. I want to focus on long COVID. Recent figures by the Office for National Statistics suggest that some 60,000 people in Wales could be living with long COVID, and the wave we're currently in makes me concerned that the…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
It's over four years now since storm Emma devastated the marina in Holyhead. The marina's owners did set about a plan to rebuild immediately, and although it was inevitable that that was going to take some time, the plans are being frustrated by the fact that…

Debate: Welsh Government Annual Report—Delivering our well-being objectives
Although we are doing our best for the people of Wales in this Senedd, the failure to integrate policy decisions and fiscal decisions at the highest level has prevented real transformational change. In the context of railways, transport may be devolved for…

Debate: Welsh Government Annual Report—Delivering our well-being objectives
Thank you very much, Llywydd. There is so much that I could, and I do regularly, criticise the Government for. I take my role seriously as health and care spokesperson for my party, holding Government to account on the health service, and I will continue to…

I'd like to ask for a written statement on the steps that the Welsh Government is considering to take to help care workers in the wake of a big increase in fuel costs. I discussed the issue with officials in Unison yesterday. Care workers in rural areas, in…

Questions to the First Minister
Now, on top of houses being sold as holiday homes or lets, I've become aware recently of the practice of long-term tenants being evicted so that their homes can be turned into short-term holiday accommodation. Constituents tell me that it's happening across…

Questions to the First Minister
I wasn't looking for division here today; I was looking for consensus, frankly. Having a daughter in Paris currently, a graduate of the London School of Economics and Political Science, having lived in Italy myself, having spent time living in London myself—…

Questions to the First Minister
Without doubt, we want to attract the best brains to Wales, as well as keeping our own talent here. The current financial pressures, the highest inflation for 40 years, is having a great impact on young people. You only need to look at recent NUS research to…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you very much, Llywydd. The first census results have been published; they’re headline figures so far. The population is reducing in many areas—Ceredigion seeing the greatest decrease at almost 6 per cent. There is a suggestion that the population is…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with the secondary care sector

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with the secondary care sector
And very finally, your thoughts on comments made by our earlier witnesses this morning who said, 'Yes, that's all very well, but we can't just think in terms of the nice preventative stuff, because, actually, people will still develop serious mental health…

And nipping problems in the bud by having a supportive community that recognises the need of people around well-being and mental health needs.

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with the secondary care sector
