Topical Scrutiny
Thank you, Chair. First Minister, the issue around you asking Hannah Blythyn to leave Government continues to be a news story and a topical issue, and, I would suggest, possibly prevents you from continuing your work in delivering the Government's programme…

Agreed.

Reaching the right people.

That's not what's important.

One more question and I'll finish, if that's all right, Chair. You keep mentioning, First Minister, reaching more people, but do you not recognise it's about reaching the right people, not more people?

Rural communities
No, I appreciate it's not about money, and that's been said many times.

Sorry, First Minister, if you're suggesting politicians are leading this campaign, that's not correct. The campaigns are led by local people, tens of thousands of people signing petitions across mid and north Wales, but these aren't only the communities—these…

Is it about more people or reaching the most appropriate people?

The most pressing issue, I would suggest, for people living in mid and north-west Wales is the deep, deep concern there is for the closure of two Wales air ambulance bases in Welshpool and Caernarfon. These are serious issues that have caused thousands of…

I think the point I'm making is that I recognise that there are problems in all parts of Wales, of course there are, in terms of recruitment, but there's a deeper issue in terms of recruiting dentists, doctors and NHS professionals, particularly in rural…

Rural communities
I understand that.
, Committee for the Scrutiny of the First Minister
Rural communities
What you've outlined, there are some positive proposals there, and what you've outlined previously as work going on, is all very well, but the reality is, of course, that in rural communities and larger rural towns there just are not sufficient GPs for that…

There was, yes.

Thank you, Chair. First Minister, how is the Welsh Government meeting the challenges of providing healthcare in rural communities? I'm particularly thinking of what the Welsh Government's plan is to recruit and retain healthcare professionals, particularly…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Housing, Local Government and Planning
Thank you for your answer, Cabinet Secretary. One of the issues raised on a fairly frequent basis with me from developers is the additional cost that they often have to encounter, not to install the sprinkler systems themselves, but where there's not…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
Thank you for your answer, Minister. Of course, bovine TB, as I'm sure you will agree, is a cruel, cruel disease in terms of farm stock, in wildlife, and also for farming families that have to suffer the emotion of culling their stock, but also those…

We move to item 4. In accordance with Standing Order 17.42, I propose that the committee resolves to exclude the public from the remainder of today's meeting, if Members are content. Yes. Thank you. In that case, we move to private session.

Paper(s) to note
I move to item 3. We have just one letter to note—a letter from the Llywydd in connection to the legislative competence and human rights considerations in the Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill. If Members are happy to note that one letter. Thank you. Diolch…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
Cabinet Secretary and officials, can I thank you for being with us today? We have run over a little bit, so I'm sorry for that, Cabinet Secretary, but I appreciate your time this morning. Diolch yn fawr iawn.

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
I suppose the question is how do you measure the impact of preventative care, where you're actively progressing an area to make better outcomes and you've got to measure that in some way.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
I suppose it's data on the outcomes and seeing more positive outcomes.

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
Thank you. In terms of outcomes of prevention work, is data being collected?
