Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with local authorities
That is very useful, thank you very much. And Allison, Hulmes, if I could turn to you, it's clear that there is a shortage in the workforce regarding social workers as well. Responses to our written consultation highlight that that can cause a delay in…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with local authorities
Councillor Elsmore, could you also provide us with a general overview of what you see as the main barriers currently?

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with local authorities
Thank you for answering so clearly. Today, we're seeing a statement from the Government regarding a bonus payment for care workers. Any payment is to be welcomed; it's convenient that it's come before this meeting, of course. But what needs to be ensured is…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with local authorities
Thank you very much, Chair, and good morning to you all. I want to look at the barriers to more people entering the social care workforce. We have looked, of course, at pay and so forth. If I could appeal to you not to be afraid of stating the obvious…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Welsh resources
Llywydd, we as Plaid Cymru Members are very pleased to have the opportunity to put forward a debate like this one in our nation's Parliament, our Senedd. We've had an opportunity today to outline some of the fundamental issues that we believe could enable us…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Welsh resources
Isn't it again revealing that when we're talking about something so fundamentally important to the future of Wales, you cannot help but take up the temptation of politicising this in that way? When we are looking at releasing our potential, you need to be a…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Welsh resources
I'll immediately ask if you want to come back on this. Are you saying now that you would like to get rid of devolution because you don't like some things another party over there does? I'm not in that party either. I'd love to get rid of them out of power…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Welsh resources
This wasn't tabled as a debate about independence. Yes, we on the Plaid Cymru benches are crystal clear in our version of an independent Wales, and our resources, the careful management of those resources for the benefit of all the people of Wales, form a big…

Thank you very much, Llywydd, and thank you for all of the contributions. I will process the comments made by the Minister and return to those perhaps towards the end of my contribution here. I and my fellow Members on the Plaid Cymru benches believe in…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Welsh resources
Well, if you will take another intervention, Crown Estate Scotland has just issued leases for 25 GW—a staggering amount of offshore wind generation—because they're driven to do it because they have the ultimate gain out of that. You're driven to do it because…

Thank you very much, Deputy Llywydd, and I'm very pleased to have an opportunity to contribute to this important debate and to formally move our amendment. In terms of the main motion, we will support the motion today, of course. As well as being a statement…

Questions to the First Minister
But I fear that, sometimes, decisions are made without a deep understanding of the communities that they affect. Let's look at that principle of centralisation. I totally understand the arguments for developing centres that are able to have a bigger…

Questions to the First Minister
Concerns were raised and opposition raised because we were worried about the standards of service. I could barely believe what I was reading in this report: treatment given that should not have been given, even amputation; treatment not given when it should…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, Llywydd. I am on the record stating that we should get rid of Betsi Cadwaladr health board unless they can return to the right path, and I'm afraid that the report that we've seen now does nothing to give us confidence in the future of the health…

There's nothing more valuable than our own health, and somehow we have to ensure that we do invest in all of those things that are going to give the best possible start to people in their lives. Our amendment talks about resources for promoting physical…

Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: Launch of the new Health and Social Care Regional Integration Fund
So, what will be different this time in order to ensure that the outcomes for patients are better? Because we can agree all day long on principles, but, unless those principles become tangibles that make a difference to patients, then there's not much purpose…
