Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the Minister and Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services
On that system reset—Nick is perhaps happy to answer as well—but it sounds like that was happening over a two-week period. So, have I got this right, that the system reset has happened? Is that correct?

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the Minister and Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services
No. If that could be drawn out through the answers throughout the course, that would be helpful. Thank you, Deputy Minister. Minister, you talk in your paper about a system reset. What's that all about?

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the Minister and Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services
Okay, so I'm very happy for the Deputy Minister to come in at this point, and I'm just keen to understand how things are going to improve in terms of patient flow and discharge. Julie.

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the Minister and Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services
I'll just bring in the Deputy Minister now, in a moment. I take, of course, the point that there's always room for improvement, but there's got to be a point that whether we're in the position that we're currently in is a reasonable position to be in or not…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the Minister and Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services
Can I take it from that that, as it stands currently, you don't believe that there is effective hospital discharge and patient flow?

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the Minister and Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services
Not at all; no problem at all. Lovely. Right. Okay, thanks ever so much for joining us. Okay. Minister, I'll put the questions, and, Minister, Deputy Minister, you allocate between yourselves whoever you think is the most appropriate to answer. How effective…

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the Minister and Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services
Oh, and Nick—just to say, Nick, you shouldn't have to take control yourself at all, so just leave it go by itself. But, Nick, do you want to introduce yourself?

Hospital discharge and its impact on patient flow through hospitals: evidence session with the Minister and Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services
In that case, I move to item 2, and this is our final oral session in regards to our inquiry on hospital discharge and the impact on patient flow. And I'm delighted this morning that we've got witnesses: we've got Eluned Morgan, the Minister for Health and…

90-second Statements
Today in the Senedd I wanted to highlight the fantastic work of a mental health support group called the Walking Men of Mid Wales, and the group does exactly what it says. And the group was set up by Andy Coppin and is run each week by a number of volunteers…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you very much, Minister, for your answer. I wrote to you back in September regarding access to cytoreductive surgery, and at the time you outlined that the reason why treatment wasn't routinely available in Wales was following the advice from NICE, as…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you for your answer, Minister. I would of course understand that you were put in a very difficult position when you became the health Minister, because your predecessor left the position in a very, very difficult state. We were in a difficult position…

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management, 2022-23 Programme of Investment
Yes, and if I can ask—. Finally, then, Minister, if I can ask you, in regards to those frustrations from communities—. Can I ask you to particularly look at flood warnings as well? Because the NRW website does not seem to be working appropriately. I think, on…

Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management, 2022-23 Programme of Investment
Can I, first of all, Deputy Minister, thank you for your statement today? North Powys, in my own constituency, experienced significant flooding, of course. Last month, I think in three days, 150 mm of water fell—50 per cent just on one day alone, on Sunday 20…
