Debate on a Member's Legislative Proposal: Alun Davies (Blaenau Gwent)—The impact of storm overflows
Thank you to the Member for Blaenau Gwent for introducing this legislative proposal. A number of constituents have been in touch with me, as is the case for many other Members I know, expressing concerns about sewage being spilt into our waters from storm…

90-second Statements
Today, the Trearddur Bay RNLI lifeboat station and crew make history by becoming the first station ever to receive a silver gallantry medal for a rescue onboard a B-class Atlantic 85 inshore lifeboat. Cast your minds back to the storms of May last year. As…

Questions to the Minister for Education and Welsh Language
Thank you very much. I've been trying to find a resolution to this through the DVSA and by asking for Welsh Government support for around eight years now. It is so frustrating. Quite simply, you are welcome to take your theory test through the medium of…

The Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (No. 5) (Wales) (Amendment) (No. 5) Regulations 2022
Just a few comments from me. The changes are few, if truth be told, but every one is significant as we move forward to a more endemic phase. But, as a first comment, it does make sense to extend the main regulations until the end of March. We still haven't…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing: Healthy Weight, Healthy Wales 2022-2024
I know that this is an issue that the Minister has a keen interest in. We both served on the health committee in the fifth Senedd as we were going through the passage of the Public Health (Wales) Bill. I tabled the amendment that led to the Government…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
The stories that we hear are frightening: an 89-year-old woman collapsed and lying on the floor for six hours; a farming accident with no ambulance being available at all, so the patient is taken by car with a broken back; a wheelchair-dependent patient…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Certainly, they are, and there are people behind every statistic. I, and others on these benches, have been gathering evidence about the impact of the ambulance crisis.

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you very much, Llywydd. I have become disheartened once again looking today at waiting times for health appointments. It was CAMHS appointments that I saw today, showing that only 22 per cent receive an appointment within four weeks, the lowest level…

Legislative Consent Motion on the Health and Care Bill
I would like to explain why I and Plaid Cymru will be opposing forcefully this LCM. This is a very wide-ranging Bill that it refers to. It contains elements, as the Minister said, that she is eager to see being extended to Wales. I certainly don't have any…

Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: Update on COVID-19
May I thank the Minister for her statement? I am pleased to hear that confidence is increasing, that cases are reducing and that the number requiring hospital treatment is also reducing. I am content with the phased approach and the cautious timetable as we…

I'd like to ask for a statement from the Trefnydd in her role as Minister for rural affairs and agriculture. The Australian High Commissioner to the UK will be visiting Anglesey this week. I always enjoy welcoming visitors to the island, of course, but George…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the housing sector
I know colleagues want to tease some more out on that finance issue later on, but, thank you. Thank you, Chair.

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the housing sector
Okay. And finally from me to Care & Repair, you say that you've been able to get your hands on additional resource, if you like, to carry out the work needed to meet the higher level of expectations. Is that going to become unsustainable, moving forward?…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the housing sector
Yes, and we can look at that now. Maybe that's something that one of my colleagues wants to go into. But just, again, trying to understand the realities on the ground now, Catherine, in laying out clearly the shortages that you see have emerged in suitable…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the housing sector
Thank you. That's very useful. And if I could come back to you at Care & Repair, going back to the purpose of this particular inquiry, it's obvious that the more people waiting for adaptations, the more complex the adaptations that they need, the more…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the housing sector
Thank you very much, Chair. It would be good to try to understand what impact the pandemic has had on demand, and the kind of demand that you're facing. To Chris Jones first, perhaps—we can see from the evidence you've given us that 15 per cent of the…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with third sector organisations
That message is coming through very clearly this afternoon. A brief word to close, Kate Griffiths, with you in terms of the reference in your evidence to what's happening in the NHS in England at present in terms of looking at the needs of carers and the…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with third sector organisations
If I could come to you, Catrin Edwards, the written evidence that we've had from you—and thanks for that—says that the policy of discharge to assess is causing anxiety for some carers, and financial concerns and eligibility around NHS continuing healthcare is…
