Professor Poole or Ewan Hilton, on specific points in life? If there's nothing in particular, I'll move—

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with the Centre for Mental Health and Society at Bangor University, Platfform and Psychologists for Social Change
We talk about people and groups who are more vulnerable because of, largely, socioeconomic factors. What about groups that are vulnerable due to particular moments in their lives? I'm thinking of perinatal mental health, mental health for young mothers or…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with the Centre for Mental Health and Society at Bangor University, Platfform and Psychologists for Social Change
Thank you. Dr Daffin, when resources are scarce—and we've heard there that resources have been scarce—there is more of a reason then to provide a clear focus to where we use those resources. Has the balance been correct there in targeting groups that are most…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with the Centre for Mental Health and Society at Bangor University, Platfform and Psychologists for Social Change
Thank you very much, Chair. Good morning to you. A few questions, time is tight. First, regarding where we target our efforts, we've heard already today and on many occasions that the most vulnerable and those that are most at risk of poor mental health have…

Statement by the Minister for Economy: Border Controls
Diolch yn fawr iawn, Dirprwy Lywydd. I couldn't quite believe that I was being given that briefing by the Minister and his officials last week, and I'm very grateful for that briefing. But to be fair, I don't think the Minister could believe that he was…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Tourism
Thank you for taking an intervention. Absolutely—I think we all in this Chamber want to celebrate what we have to offer in terms of tourism. The difference here is between celebration, making the most of, and exploitation, and I actually welcome the dividing…

Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
Thank you very much. The Minister is aware that I've asked for a meeting with her for some time to discuss the need for investment in the seafood sector in Ynys Môn. I'm pleased that, since I tabled this question, a time has been agreed upon so that we can…

Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government
It's good to see some kind of loosening in terms of the budgets this year, but councils under the leadership of all parties will have faced major budgetary challenges over the past few years. But despite that, the situation in Anglesey has been transformed…

Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government
The Government has made a mess of the attempt to introduce bonus payments time after time, it has to be said, over the past few years. I said, a moment ago, that of course any additional payment is to be welcomed by those who receive it, but another major…

Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government
Thank you very much, Llywydd. In February, your Government announced that 53,000 care workers in Wales would receive a bonus payment of around £1,000. Now, any additional funding for workers in that sector is to be welcomed, of course, but one-off bonus…

Legislative Consent Motion on the Health and Care Bill
Thank you for the opportunity to respond. I just want to make it clear, as with the previous LCM, that we're not opposing the principle before us today; that's not what we're doing as Plaid Cymru in opposing these LCMs, but making a point once again that we…

The Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (No. 5) (Wales) (Amendment) (No. 9) Regulations 2022
Thank you very much to the Minister. I only have very few comments. First of all, I welcome the fact that the advice that is given to the Government is still suggesting that we can move gradually towards lifting the safety measures that have been in place. We…

Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: Planned Care Recovery Plan
Technology, very briefly—I was going to urge you to talk about technology and the use of technology. I'm pleased to see the commitments to develop the portal so that patients can know where they are within the system. Just a few questions arising as a result…

Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: Planned Care Recovery Plan
I've received some comments today from Cymru Versus Arthritis, worried about the targets that are in relation to cutting waiting times for most specialities, rather than all. Given how long orthopaedic waiting times are, this is one heck of a get-out clause…

Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: Planned Care Recovery Plan
That's the reality of the situation, and that tells us so much about the failure of one Minister after another to put the health and care services of Wales on the sustainable foundations that we need. What the pandemic has done is to show just how…

Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: Planned Care Recovery Plan
Thank you very much, Deputy Llywydd, and thank you to the Minister for her statement. The first thing I'll say is that I don't think it's possible for me to ask every question that I'd like to ask today, and to be fair, it's not possible for the Minister to…

Questions to the First Minister
It's good old-fashioned pork-barrel politics, isn't it? We heard recently that Ynys Môn would be getting some £16 million from the so-called shared prosperity funds. And whilst any funding is to be welcomed, of course—and I'll work with partners to make sure…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Supporting pharmacists
I can see that time is up. It's good to see agreement on this today, but it's one thing to have that agreement on a set of principles, it's another to see the Government delivering on those things that are genuinely going to make pharmacy stronger and more…
