Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with disabled people on proposals to introduce direct payments for Continuing NHS Healthcare
I'm pleased. Have you got anything to say in terms of any opening comments? Joyce, do you want to just repeat one of your earlier questions, as well, and I'll bring you in, Shahd?

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with disabled people on proposals to introduce direct payments for Continuing NHS Healthcare
Oh, Chris. Sorry, can I come in? I'm so sorry to interrupt, but we've got quite a lot of other questions to get through. What you're saying is really, really helpful, but it might be that some of what you're saying could be drawn out in some of the other…

Okay, no problem at all. I'll come back to you in a moment as well. Shahd, I'll come back to you with any opening thoughts that you've got and then perhaps to consider what Joyce has asked as well. Perhaps I'll bring Nathan or Chris in, if you want to speak…

I don't know if you want to come in now, Shahd. Feel welcome to come in now, or do you want me to go to somebody else first to answer that—to address that point?

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with disabled people on proposals to introduce direct payments for Continuing NHS Healthcare
Thank you so much, Cecilia, that's really helpful. There are quite a few Members who want to ask questions on a lot of what you've said and what Nathan has said as well. So, I won't ask any more questions at the moment. I'm going to bring in one of my…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Planning policy for new power lines
You were talking there about the plans that National Grid have and Bute Energy have. They're not about strengthening the network in mid Wales, as perhaps you've alluded to; they're about taking the power out, and perhaps that's one of the issues that needs to…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Planning policy for new power lines

Paper(s) to note
Thank you, John. It's something that—. I consider it myself also—. Of course, a large part is not devolved, but the aspect of health is devolved, so I think there is potential scope for us as a committee to do some work in this area. So, I think I'm more than…
