Legislative Consent: Health Bill - evidence session 2: Llais
I'll declare an interest: I worked in transitional care for the past decade before being elected. So, whilst I'm keen to hear your broad assessment, I'd also be keen to hear whether there are particular issues affecting adolescents and young adults…

Legislative Consent: Health Bill - evidence session 1: NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee
My final ask would be that when you're able to influence, that that is taken into consideration, because I think it's very much overlooked. So, that would be an ask of mine to move forward. Diolch yn fawr.

Thank you. Croeso. I've got two questions. I'm going to ask them together just in the interests of time. I'm talking to you about consultation and engagement. So, does the Bill provide sufficient robust mechanisms for consultation and engagement where…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Social Care, Mental Health and Women's Health: Improving Family-centred Neonatal Care in Wales: Progress Towards the Bliss Baby Charter
Diolch. Following on from psychological support, this question will be timely. Deputy Minister, I welcome the progress being made towards the Bliss baby charter, but family-centred neonatal care can only succeed if the specialist workforce is there to support…

It's difficult. I probably would agree. I think it's been set out as plain and as clear as can be, and I'm not sure what difference that would make—just to add my opinion as well.

Diolch, Chair. Can I also declare an interest and just to put it on the record that my partner lived in Skewen for five years, so I stayed quite a number of times in the area, although I am not familiar with the street that is mentioned in the petition. The…

I think as well—I think you just missed it in your notes, Joe—that we could also draw attention to potential sources of funding, such as the National Lottery Community Fund, as well, so that the petitioner will know of all the avenues there. Because I would…

Chair, if I could just add, I'm happy to go with the majority. However, it is down to the health board to discuss the planning and the operational. I think that is an issue here as well, so I wanted that on the record, but I will go with the majority of the…

Diolch, Chair. In the sixth Senedd, a petition similar to this had around 4,000 signatures, and was considered with input from RSPCA Cymru and Blue Cross on how to strengthen enforcement at the time. That petition closed in 2022, with the previous committee…

Pre-appointment hearing for the Chair of the Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust: evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate.
Thank you. My final question to you—and I ask this as somebody who needed an ambulance as a child—is: how would you represent the organisation and engage with people of all ages to instil confidence in the Welsh ambulance service?

General scrutiny session with the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care, the Deputy Minister for Public and Preventative Health and the Deputy Minister for Social Care, Mental Health and Women’s Health
Again, mine goes back to data. So, again, to use diabetes as an example, but I know this would be the same for long-term conditions, there's a link between diabetes management and mental health issues, complications, problems. And, again, I don't know if this…
