Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, once an annual health check identifies a need, responsibility should not fall on the individual to fight for treatment. People with learning disabilities need a clear, funded pathway to further test, specialist assessment and treatment. Welsh…

Thank you.

Annual scrutiny session with the National Library of Wales
Obviously, you're running with a deficit at the moment. How do you feel now, as we go forward, about your resilience to manage shocks in the system, shocks in funding, after having gone through a period of volatility?
, Culture, Communications, Cymraeg and Sport Committee
Annual scrutiny session with the National Library of Wales
Thank you. Just a quick one. You talked about the need for financial stability and that you've obviously just been through a period of volatility. What conversations have you had actually with the Welsh Government about funding that is allowing you to do any…

Okay, thank you.

Annual scrutiny session with Amguedda Cymru
Have you actually got figures? 'Obviously, this is the core. This is how much it's going to cost for the core. Vis-à-vis this is the new stuff you want us to deliver. This is how much we think this will cost.'
, Culture, Communications, Cymraeg and Sport Committee
Annual scrutiny session with Amguedda Cymru
Sure. Just a quick question. Obviously, you mentioned at the start your core offer, and then other tasks that are put on you, which may be a little bit of mission creep that get labelled onto you. Then you have the strategy via the funding. What conversations…

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Finance
Minister, Labour rejected your supplementary budget in July. Mark Drakeford suggested that they should have accepted the deal. And now, Labour and Plaid have reached an agreement. The old band is back together, playing live on the stage of failed promises…

Minister, I would like an urgent statement on who is holding the Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust to account for electrification and decarbonisation spending. My freedom of information request remains unanswered. Financial information requested…

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Government Effectiveness and the Constitution
Thank you. Minister, your Government's supplementary budget was recently defeated. Your finance Minister then wrote 'we must avoid creating additional spending obligations where the funding position has yet to be agreed.' Before seeking more policing powers…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The defence sector
This is the last sentence. Our ambition should be Welsh apprentices qualifying, Welsh factories securing orders and Welsh families building their futures here. This is the opportunity before us, this Government should be getting on and delivering it. Thank…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: The defence sector
As a veteran myself, I have to say I am thankful to our defence industry, which allows us to operate in dangerous environments efficiently, effectively and safely. I have to say I'm somewhat baffled by some of the arguments I've heard on Plaid's side of the…

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Rural Resilience and Sustainability
This links back to the Member's question, but I want to go a bit more local. The Welsh Water treatment works in Gowerton serves around 58,000 constituents across Gŵyr Abertawe. However, concerns have been raised that proposed housing developments in Gowerton…

Annual scrutiny session with Sport Wales
As long as we're moving in the right direction, and we set those foundation levels, and you go, 'Every year we're building on something', that's good for me. Everyone talks about the short term, but often when you're talking in sports and how you build…

Annual scrutiny session with Sport Wales
Just going back slightly, the second part of my question was what does success look like to you. If we were to measure you at the end, is it, 'This many people now are active in schools', or are we measuring you on every single different priority? Where would…
, Culture, Communications, Cymraeg and Sport Committee
Annual scrutiny session with Sport Wales
It's actually quite linked into what you were just saying. So, mine is all about priorities, because you are in a difficult funding environment. And, again, there are quite a lot of priorities for you on here. We've got daily activity, prevention, we've got…

Ministerial scrutiny session: Cabinet Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
Sorry, I just think, on that one, when we're talking about legal powers, we've got to be extremely careful, because I'm all for encouraging people to speak Welsh, to give them the opportunity to speak Welsh, but there will be an element behind it who could be…
, Culture, Communications, Cymraeg and Sport Committee
Ministerial scrutiny session: Cabinet Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
Just a quick one on the commission piece. It mentions a little bit about legal protections, which makes me very nervous, because I'm all for the carrot side of it and encouraging people to speak Welsh and that side, but when we're talking legal protections…

Ministerial scrutiny session: Cabinet Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
Just a quick follow-on from that. So, as I understand it, you're going to get all this information together and then you will publish a baseline, and then that is basically what you can judge from as we move forward, so that we can come back in two years'…

Ministerial scrutiny session: Cabinet Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
I'd like to talk about the Welsh language survey, and you talked a little bit with the first question about the fact that you're going to commission a consultation. There seems to be, in the report, a little bit of uncertainty around whether the figures in…
