Implementation of education reforms—Ministerial scrutiny session
But one thing that's arisen in that respect is that, yes, there is really good collaboration working in some areas, but some of the evidence received suggested that perhaps that support wasn't consistent, for example, with co-operation in the cluster, or with…

Implementation of education reforms—Ministerial scrutiny session
Yes, and, clearly, it's that consistency of quality that's important, isn't it, rather than being uniform?

Implementation of education reforms—Ministerial scrutiny session
Thank you, Chair. Good morning, Minister. I have a few questions about curriculum reform in general. We've heard some concerns in the evidence received that there is variation in pupils' experiences as a result of the approach to the Curriculum for Wales. So…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Incontinence
It's my last sentence, Diprwy Lywydd. I also urge Members to speak up about this issue with your constituents, with your family and friends, to ensure women know that it is not something they must simply put up with.

Statement by the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip: Update on Wales: A Nation of Sanctuary
Thank you for the statement, Minister. It is tragic to note that Europe Day, which is meant to celebrate peace and unity, is a day when we are continuing to have to discuss what oppression and war create—the destruction and the pain in people's lives who have…

Papers to note
Sorry, Jayne. On the paper that we received from the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service, paper No. 8, there was mention of careers information, advice and guidance, and the need to make sure that that is embedded within the curriculum in primary and…

Statement by the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language: An Update on Higher Education
I'd like to declare an interest in that my husband is employed by Swansea University and is a member of UCU. I thank the Minister for his statement and I welcome the recognition that more needs to be done to support students as they face huge challenges…

Statement by the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: The Coronation of HM King Charles III
I'm a trustee of PANTRY foodbank in Pontardawe and, indeed, in our trustees' meeting last week, we heard that PANTRY foodbank have supplied 692 food parcels since January—up over 40 per cent since last year. PANTRY used to spend a couple of hundred pounds…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice
Diolch, Gweinidog. I would also like to talk about the events, the despicable events, in Uganda. Plaid Cymru, of course, has been proud to work with Welsh Government on the LGBTQ+ action plan to make Wales the most LGBTQ+-friendly nation in Europe, but the…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice
Diolch, Llywydd. Minister, yesterday—last evening—MPs debated the UK Tories' Illegal Migration Bill, and illegal it certainly is, because it's a Bill that has been deemed by dozens of human rights organisations and legal experts as incompatible with the…

Motion under Standing Orders 17.42(vi) and (ix) to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting
Sorry, Chair. Just on the paper from the NSPCC, just a suggestion, because the Children, Young People and Education Committee is doing an inquiry at present into care-experienced children and reform, I think it would perhaps be wise to send a copy of the…

Thank you. Thank you, Chair.

Data justice: the use of personal data in the Welsh NHS: evidence session 3
I just wanted to ask you, in terms of SAIL, how do you assess the impact of your research? What impact has your research had and how do you assess that?
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
Data justice: the use of personal data in the Welsh NHS: evidence session 3
Thank you. So, just to be clear, you're of the opinion that, for all of the protected characteristics, there is room for improvement to get data and research on all of those. And, finally, in SAIL, do you assess the impact that your research is having?

Data justice: the use of personal data in the Welsh NHS: evidence session 3
Thank you. And just to follow on from that, therefore, you mentioned ethnicity there. What other main areas in relation to data do we need to get data and research on, better data and research, or more data and research, and the differences between them?…

Thank you, and one final question, as I just wanted to ask more of a technical question now about the work that goes on to create the e-prescribing system, et cetera. How are algorithms used in managing and classifying data?

Data justice: the use of personal data in the Welsh NHS: evidence session 2
And in that respect, clearly, a high number of people have access to a mobile phone now. They’re able to use the app. But there are still a number of people who aren’t able to do so. So, in terms of your plan in that regard, how serious is the problem of…

Data justice: the use of personal data in the Welsh NHS: evidence session 2
Thank you, Chair. I just have a few questions about e-prescribing. Systems such as e-prescribing could operate across primary, community and secondary care, so what are the potential benefits and concerns of this? Are there any lessons to be learnt from…
