Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Chair of Swansea Bay University Health Board: evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
On that point with the executives, I'm just wondering and maybe you'll be able to point not just to your experience in having that working relationship with the executives whilst holding them to account and challenging them around targets and performances…

Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Chair of Swansea Bay University Health Board: evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
—and apologies for cutting across you earlier when I lost all audio, but a classic reboot of the computer did the trick. I just want to ask a few questions around your role as chair and relationship with the board more broadly as well. So, perhaps, first of…

Short Debate: Primary care and the preventative agenda
Thank you to Peter Fox for giving a minute of your time in this short debate here today. As you mention, prevention is undoubtedly the best thing for people, when it comes to health issues and, as you highlighted, it also saves lots of money further down the…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Education
I must say, in the wake of the embarrassing Welsh PISA scores, this IFS report is pretty damning. At one level, I feel sorry for the new Cabinet Secretary, but, in many ways, it only serves to confirm what we already know and what we've been saying for a long…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Culture and Social Justice
Just to expand on the point there that Llyr Gruffydd raised, just perhaps more clarity about what the meaning of a museum of north Wales might actually be. I'm also interested to understand, within that exploring, whether that will be done with partner…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Culture and Social Justice

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport
Thank you, Cabinet Secretary, for your response. I certainly welcome much of what you just said there, and I listened also to your statement yesterday with great interest, as other Members of the Chamber did. I certainly welcome your change of tone, because…

Questions to the First Minister
Siân Gwenllian's absolutely right to raise this, because far too many people in Arfon and across north Wales sadly do not have access to an NHS dentist, an issue that Members in the Chamber have been raising for a long time, an issue that I personally raised…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Public Services Ombudsman for Wales
Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer, and I move the motion in front of us today in the name of my colleague Darren Millar. Frankly, this is a debate we shouldn't have to have. The Public Services Ombudsman for Wales is supposedly in place to be an impartial…

Debate on the General Principles of the Residential Outdoor Education (Wales) Bill
Thank you again, Deputy Presiding Officer, and I think John Griffiths did an excellent job of closing the debate and summarising many issues there, so thank you, John, for your comments at the end there today, and thank you to all Members for your…

Debate on the General Principles of the Residential Outdoor Education (Wales) Bill
When I introduced this Bill in November last year, I opened by asking a question, and the question was: will Wales lead the way? Since then, we have heard evidence from a wide range of groups and individuals, the majority of whom support the Bill. Indeed…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: UK Government budget
I'm sure there's a five-point plan somewhere over on those benches for the economy in Wales, but we have yet to hear it succinctly at all. And what we're hearing today from benches across the way here is this continual pooh-poohing and talking down of the…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: UK Government budget
Let me explain this to you, Alun, because I think you're missing the point, not just about the direct investment into those projects. Of course, there's devolved responsibility and the delivery of devolved services. The Welsh Government gets £18 billion a…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: UK Government budget
Thank you. Thank you for the intervention, Huw, it was very insightful—very insightful indeed. What we've also heard today—what we've also heard today—Welsh families are better off as the UK Government raised the threshold for claiming child benefit. We've…
