Okay, thank you. Any other definitions from Dr Hilary or Lisa Turnbull?

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with primary and secondary care representatives
No, okay. We'll probably just need to—. Is there a breakout room of some sort we can take Dr Hilary to? We'll try and help with this. We did a test earlier on, unfortunately, but I'm just conscious that you won't hear any questions in Wales, Dr Hilary. Okay…

Well, no, we understand if there are pressures, so thank you for being with us. Can I just check, Dr Hilary, that the Welsh translation is okay for you? If I could ask the translators to say something. [TRANSLATION: 'Testing interpretation. Testing. One, two…

Short Debate: Faster access to hearing services in Wales
I was really pleased to attend the event yesterday, hosted by Natasha Asghar, and any Member walking through the Oriel yesterday may have seen the inside of my ear on a big screen. It was a really delightful picture, wasn't it, Janet? I think Janet saw it and…

Plaid Cymru Debate: The health service
Diolch, Llywydd. I move the amendments in the name of my colleague Darren Millar. As Welsh Conservatives, we'll be supporting Plaid Cymru's motion today, and I certainly echo the first point in the motion recognising the heroic efforts of NHS staff in Wales…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Well, thank you for your answer, Minister. Certainly, you're right in one sense—at the beginning of this process, we were told that 500 more people would be able to be reached under the original proposal. That, as I now certainly understand it, is something…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you, Minister. First of all, the Wales Air Ambulance Charity, as you say, is a charity, but they are commissioned by the Welsh NHS. And they've also accepted the result of this process, and they will follow the result of this process, and of course the…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Diolch, Llywydd. Llywydd, rural mid and north Wales needs a strong ambulance service, particularly in emergencies. With the lack of a district general hospital in these areas, it makes the need for an air ambulance service all the more vital. Now, Minister…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
Thank you for your answer, Minister. I'm grateful for your update in regard to the mid Wales growth deal earlier this week, and I've been an advocate for that growth deal. It's been slow coming, but I'm pleased that it is now in place and has the support of…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
Minister, in England, all working parents of two-year-olds will receive 15 hours per week of free childcare from April of this year. Minister, can you confirm that this will be the case in Wales, and if not, why not?

Questions to the First Minister
I think it's a very important question that was asked by Sarah Murphy today, because, for those that are waiting for diagnosis or support, it's a very difficult period of their lives, and debilitating. Can you just outline, First Minister, how you are…

Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government
And my question is: Minister, I’ve been in correspondence with the Minister myself—the Deputy Minister for Social Services—with regard to Flying Start, and particularly in relation to two-year-old funding, as you’ve outlined just now. When I had a response…

Papers to note
I move to item 6. There are a couple of papers to note in regard to correspondence between the committee here and the Minister for health and both her deputies in response to the general scrutiny session on 8 November last year. So, are we happy to note those…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with Public Health Wales
Well, thank you very much for being here, and for your advanced paper as well. You've been very helpful in offering some other information as well; we've made a note of that ourselves, so we'll send you that. Particularly on that last question, if you feel…

That's very good—really helpful. Is there anything else you want to add to this session today at all?

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with Public Health Wales
And, Jim, you said you had a few hundred that you could talk about a moment ago in terms of recommendations, but perhaps give us some that don't cost anything.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with Public Health Wales
And just, perhaps, one other question to finish with. We had budget scrutiny with the Minister the other week, and there's an issue of resource in the health service, and resource is going to bring down the waiting lists, and perhaps less focus on prevention…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with Public Health Wales
The three goals, the three areas, that you spoke about there were quite general principles that the Government should follow. Is there anything that you think is more specific that we could recommend?

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with Public Health Wales
Thank you, Gareth. What key recommendations do you think that we as a committee should be making to the Welsh Government in the areas that we’ve spoken about this morning?
