That will be hard.

Thank you. The next set of questions is from Sarah Murphy. If we can try and do this section in about five minutes, that would be really helpful.

Just for time, I'll ask the Minister to come back on this, and then we'll move on to the next subject area. I'm sorry for—

Thank you, Mabon. Gareth Davies.

Thank you very much. And bear that in mind in terms of the lengths of the questions and answers that are given as well. Thank you. Mabon ap Gwynfor.

Gynaecological cancers: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thanks, Nick. I'm just conscious—I'm saying this to all Members and the Minister and her officials—we've only got half an hour left of the session and we've got more question areas to cover than we might have time for. So, can I just ask the Minister and her…

Mabon, if you haven't got any more questions on this section, do you mind if I just bring Joyce in, and I'll come back to you then for your next set of questions? Joyce Watson.

Yes, Mabon.

I think, as well, that's perhaps why I highlighted it's certainly worth watching that evidence. We can make sure we send that to you, because we saw two very powerful testimonies that focused our minds. So, I think it's important for you and officials to look…

So, I suppose, the question is, is whether the cancer improvement plan, or the women's health plan, can be strengthened to address some of the issues that Sarah has outlined, and some of the issues that have been provided to us in evidence through our inquiry.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Gynaecological cancers: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
I'll bring Sarah in, but that is right, because a large part of our evidence is women not feeling that they're being listened to. Sarah, did you want to come in on this?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Gynaecological cancers: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
I suppose some of the witnesses that we heard evidence from, their view would be that there's potentially a missed opportunity here because we've got the women's health plan, because there's the cancer improvement plan, and because of those complexities…

Gynaecological cancers: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you. I'm grateful for that summary as well. I suppose one issue that was picked up on is that you don't intend to include gynaecological cancers in the up-and-coming women's health plan, and I know you stated in your paper to us that the reason for that…

Gynaecological cancers: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you, all, for joining us this morning. Members have a series of questions, but can I first of all ask—? You're very welcome to make some opening comments following my first question, Minister, but I'd probably say that we've had some very powerful…

With that, I'll move to item 2. This is our final evidence session for the committee's inquiry into gynaecological cancers, when we will be hearing from the Minister for Health and Social Services, Eluned Morgan. So, welcome, Minister, this morning, and…

Croeso, bawb. Bore da. Welcome to the Health and Social Care Committee this morning, and welcome back to this new term as well. If there are any declarations of interest, please say now. No, there aren't any and there are no apologies today.

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The health budget
I can't have a two-way debate, otherwise the Presiding Officer will be calling me out. But I'm going to end our debate today by saying that what the Welsh people expect is a Welsh Government that prioritises the Welsh NHS and the people of Wales. I don't…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The health budget
With the greatest of respect, Mabon, I think, if anyone listens back to this debate today, they will see green pointing at blue and green pointing at red, as well as the other issues you've outlined as well. Is it not important that this is an opposition…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The health budget
Well, I think the comments that I've already made and Darren Millar made address those comments, Carolyn Thomas. But with power comes responsibility, and that's the point that I was making. You can't have it both ways. You can't say, when something good is…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The health budget
I thank Rhianon Passmore for her intervention, and Darren Millar has addressed those points, and, of course, I agree with the points that Darren Millar makes. I think it's important to also recognise that Wales is receiving a record £18 billion settlement…

I'll take two interventions; I'll take Rhianon's first and then Darren Millar's, if that's okay, Presiding Officer.

In a moment. But what I will dispute is the fact that Wales, in receiving that 20 per cent uplift, is unfairly penalised by the UK Government.
