Welsh Conservatives Debate: Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you, Jenny. I'll come to that in my contribution. I will come to that in my contribution. So, let's have a look at some of the statistics: 24 per cent of the Welsh population are on a NHS waiting list, twice the proportion in England. One in five of…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Minister for Health and Social Services
Well, the statistic you point at there, Jenny, I mean, perhaps that should be explored; perhaps Betsi Cadwaladr health board can learn from areas in that particular health board. But, I think what I'm going to demonstrate to you—I'm going to raise some…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Minister for Health and Social Services
The Welsh Government health Minister is, of course, responsible for holding health boards to account, and must make her views known, as she has done—[Interruption.] and she does, I agree, Jenny; she does make her views known—when she doesn't have confidence…

Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government
Thank you, Minister, for your answer. There is no crematorium in Powys. Many of my constituents have to travel into England, and the vast majority of my constituents have to travel over an hour to the nearest crematorium. So, clearly, this is not ideal for…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, First Minister, for your answer. There's a real issue in my constituency in accessing a GP, often having to wait for a considerable time to see a GP, and there are, obviously, the consequences of that. What I would ask, First Minister, is: what do…

Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: Dental Reform
I thank the Minister for her statement today. Quite early on in your statement, Minister, you talked about the fact that you've heard some people saying that there is now a two or three-tiered system. Well, I'm one of those people who have made that comment…

Questions to the Minister for Education and Welsh Language
Thank you for your answer, Minister, and, of course, I heard your answer to Laura Anne Jones on this earlier on as well. Through casework, an issue that I'm picking up is that there appear to be some children with potential additional learning needs when they…

Questions to the First Minister

Item 4. I propose in accordance with Standing Order 17.42 that the committee resolves to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting. Are we all content with that? That's lovely. That brings our public session to an end and we'll now proceed in…

Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: evidence session with health bodies
Thank you. And there's nothing else you can think of that we haven't asked, now you've had a bit more time to think about it? No. That's great. That's been a really helpful session, because you've put some flesh on to something that—perhaps I shouldn't…

Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: evidence session with health bodies
Is there anything else that you think that we haven't covered this morning? Are there any questions that perhaps we should have asked you, or something else that you think it's important for us to be aware of in our scrutiny?

Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: evidence session with health bodies
Okay, thank you. Is there any potential that integrated care boards becoming more local could affect the NHS services that they might offer to Wales?

Health Service Procurement (Wales) Bill: evidence session with health bodies
Thank you. Thank you, Heledd. I was reading, in the impact assessment linked to the Bill, the cost to the NHS bodies is estimated to be £2.7 million. So, I’m wondering if you have any views on these potential costs. And also you've spoken quite a bit about…
