Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: Evidence session with the Member in charge
Okay, thank you for that clarification, Minister. And finally from me: section 24 of the Bill, which relates to direct payments for healthcare, provides for regulation-making powers that are subject to the affirmative procedure the first time that they are…

Okay. So, even though it's done—. Will that be then, in my understanding, on a case-by-case basis, per an individual child?

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: Evidence session with the Member in charge
Okay. And the new section 81B(5)(c) of the 2014 Act, as inserted by section 13(3) of the Bill, gives the Welsh Ministers the power to direct a local authority to reconsider its application to place a child in a supplementary placement, taking into account…

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: Evidence session with the Member in charge
Diolch, Cadeirydd. Yes, we are, and forgive me, this is quite a long question, Minister, so bear with me while I recite this. But, through section 4 of the Bill, a new Schedule 1A is being added to the 2016 Act. New paragraph 2(4)(b) of that Schedule gives a…

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: Evidence session with the Member in charge
Thank you. And with regard to Part 2 of the Bill and introducing direct payments for continuing healthcare, can you confirm whether the provisions of the Bill could be used to allow payments to people who have not been assessed as having a primary health need…

Health and Social Care (Wales) Bill: Evidence session with the Member in charge
So, sticking with that theme of dates not being specifically on the face of the Bill and then the regulation-making powers to change them if necessary, why the intention in that flexibility? Can you provide a bit more clarity on that, then? Surely, if you're…

Thank you very much, Chair. The new Schedule 1A to the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016 provides that the transitional period begins with the day on which section 6A(1) of the 2016 Act comes into force. Which provision in the Bill…

Inquiry: Welsh Government’s proposals for a Sustainable Farming Scheme
It's just that there's no commitment on farm funding in the Labour manifesto announced today, that's all. Thank you, Chair.

Inquiry: Welsh Government’s proposals for a Sustainable Farming Scheme
Just one final question. Given that we're in the middle of a general election, I'm just wondering if, on funding, you'd had any commitments from a potential incoming UK Labour Government on what you would be requesting to fund the sustainable farming scheme.

Diolch yn fawr, Cadeirydd. On tree planting, we've obviously seen examples of total afforestation, with agricultural land purchased by outside agencies looking to offset their carbon emissions through tree planting—Llanboidy is a locality that Cefin and I…

That was, obviously, a concern of the more environmental element of stakeholders, of wanting where they saw the additional gains being made.

Inquiry: Welsh Government’s proposals for a Sustainable Farming Scheme
So, you've brought optional and collaborative layers there into it, a delay to its implementation. Are you expecting, from 2026, all three tiers of the SFS to be live at the same time, or is there going to be an introductory—? It's going to be universal…

Inquiry: Welsh Government’s proposals for a Sustainable Farming Scheme
Okay, that's helpful. And then, the scheme itself, I know you're not wanting to prejudice or preempt anything in talking about whether there'll be wholesale changes, or some—. I think the way that you phrased it in the Chamber is sign-off what's already…
