Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with the Minister for Social Care
And have you anticipated the proportion of those who would be family members or unpaid carers?

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with the Minister for Social Care
All right. Okay, I think we’ll move on to just talking about the direct payments to continuing healthcare, Chair. Am I okay to move on to this part of the question here? There have been concerns raised about the impact on the workforce and the lack of…

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with the Minister for Social Care
Okay. So, what we're saying is that in an emergency situation in the future, after that transition, you've got the capacity you want to see in Wales, therefore that emergency placement into private provision shouldn’t be needed after transition. That’s what…
, Health and Social Care Committee
Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with the Minister for Social Care
Yes, but I guess once that transition has finished, that part of the legislation then would only allow for children to be placed outside of Wales in an emergency situation. Am I right?

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with the Minister for Social Care
I'm sorry, I'm not sure we're getting to the point of this then. So, what we're saying is that, in an emergency situation, where the Minister says they should be placed in a for-profit centre, there will be no places in Wales for that to happen, so a child in…

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with the Minister for Social Care
The second part was that the Bill does not allow for-profit companies to be in Wales, so, if you will be placing in for-profit organisations, where will they end up?

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with the Minister for Social Care
Okay, and then a further question: you mentioned earlier, Minister, about the allowance, within the Bill, for Welsh Ministers to approve for-profit supplementary placements, for example, in an emergency situation that may take place. Just briefly, I want to…

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with the Minister for Social Care
Yes, and there are plans in place to support those areas that have the highest risk.

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with the Minister for Social Care
And just on that risk, about identifying it, as you say, scenario planning may be there, are there any particular areas of Wales—geographical areas of Wales—that are more high risk for this potential fast exit than other areas?

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: evidence session with the Minister for Social Care
Thank you, Chair. Good morning and thank you, Minister, for your time this morning. Clearly, at the heart of all of this is the welfare and well-being of children who are looked after. I'm just wondering what your thoughts are on any unintended consequences…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The First Minister
This is an unprecedented moment in the history of devolution in Wales. Let's not forget why this debate is being held here today: the First Minister accepted a £200,000 donation for his leadership campaign from a company owned by someone who has two…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Welsh Language
Of course, Minister, an important part of the Welsh language standards, I would suggest, is to not just service people and support people who currently speak Welsh, but also to encourage more people to speak Welsh on a regular basis as well. As it stands, it…

Thank you, Minister, for taking an intervention. Just in regards to that engagement with the sector around the visitor levy, I was just wondering what conversations you've had around appropriate exemptions for things like touring caravans, and static caravans…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: GP practices and funding
Thank you for taking an intervention. You're absolute right, people should be able to access the care that they need closest to home. But, clearly, with 99 surgeries having closed across Wales in the last 10 years, physically accessing those services has…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: GP practices and funding
We are very used to nice words emanating from Cardiff Bay, Minister, such as the 'A Healthier Wales' plan, which wants to ensure that people stay healthy and independent for as long as possible, and who can argue with that? But the huge waves of GP surgery…

Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer, and I move the motion in front of us today in the name of my colleague Darren Millar. And, Members, the numbers are stark: there are 99 fewer GP practices in Wales today than there were in 2012, and it seems to me that the…
