Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, the single biggest contributor to the failure of our NHS to meet the needs of patients and staff is the Welsh Labour Government, which has been responsible for our NHS in Wales for over 26 years, and you’ve been the health Secretary for three…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch, Llywydd, and good afternoon, First Minister. Can I firstly invite the First Minister to join with me and all of the Welsh Conservatives in congratulating the forty-seventh President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, on his inauguration…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: New UK Government's first six months
Obviously, one of the significant concerns that's been raised about the budget is the quantum of cash that the Welsh Government and public sector employers will have to send back to the Treasury as a result of the additional employers' national insurance…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: New UK Government's first six months
I'm very grateful to you for doing that. Would I remind you that you should be humble enough to acknowledge that the share of the vote for the Labour Party in Wales also went down at the last general election? So, it was a rather lacklustre performance, if I…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: New UK Government's first six months
Before last year's general election we were constantly told that Labour Governments at both ends of the M4 would be great for Wales. But what we've actually ended up with is a double whammy. Broken promises and failing policies coming down the M4, alongside a…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Establishment of a school of dentistry in Bangor
I'm very grateful. I appreciate that there are appointments available. The point I was making is that the threshold to be able to access those appointments is far too high, and that means that far too many people are not able to access sometimes the…

Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Establishment of a school of dentistry in Bangor
I too want to support the calls that have been made for a dentistry school in north Wales. When I first became a Member of this Senedd, 17 years ago, most people in my constituency were able to get six monthly check-ups at a dentist, whereas now I've got…

Statement by the First Minister: Delivering for Wales
Well, well, well. 'We need real results and we need real change.' You're too right we need real change. That's why we need to see the back of this clapped-out, tired, lazy Labour Government, a Government that has failed the people of Wales for 26 years. You…

Questions to the First Minister
Forgive me, First Minister, but you sound pretty complacent to me about these issues. Simply throwing money at the problem isn't going to solve it. We all know that. When you talk about the issues with patient flow, much of this has been created, the problem…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, we all saw the images of you thanking our health professionals online and handing out boxes of chocolates. Frankly, I think people in Wales want quality services, not Quality Street. And when you're talking about front-line workers, I too want…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch, Llywydd. Blwyddyn newydd dda, and a happy new year to you as well, First Minister, and all Members of this Chamber. First Minister, over the Christmas break, unfortunately, the Welsh ambulance service did declare a critical incident. We know that 340…

Statement by the Llywydd
Diolch, Llywydd. I too was very sad to hear news of another former colleague passing away just yesterday—our dear friend Peter Rogers, who, of course, did serve as a Welsh Conservative Member of this Senedd between 1999 and 2003. He will be sorely missed by…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Welsh Language
Thank you for that brief answer, Cabinet Secretary. One of the priorities that people in my constituency, and indeed the wider communities of Conwy and Denbighshire, want to see on your list is the delivery of a new community hospital for the people of north…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, Trefnydd and Chief Whip: Diversity and inclusion for political parties
Thank you, Minister, for your statement and, indeed, the briefing that you provided to me prior to today. I have to say, as I expressed to you during the briefing that we had, that I'm rather disappointed at the lack of engagement that there has been since…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Welsh Government response to UK Government budget
Will you take an intervention? Don't you find it astonishing that Members for north Wales in this Chamber aren't united on all sides of the Chamber about the need for investment in north Wales, in things like the electrification of the north Wales railway…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Welsh Government response to UK Government budget
Thank you very much indeed. I seem to remember the current Cabinet Secretary for finance making a clear commitment over a decade ago to spend money on a brand-new hospital in Rhyl, which has completely been abandoned and not budgeted for in the Welsh…
