Mental Health support in Higher Education—evidence session 4
Diolch, Cadeirydd. This is for Liz and Julie, and I'll be very brief. What are the main challenges that you face in supporting the mental health and well-being of our student population? If you could ask for one thing from the Government and health boards…

Mental Health support in Higher Education—evidence session 3
On this point, it is very important that people get help when they ask for it. We are seeing that the referrals are going up—they're going over the four-week wait time and that is even for counsellors in schools. So, I'd like to know what your thoughts are on…

Mental Health support in Higher Education—evidence session 3
Yes. Sorry, Chair, if I can just jump back in there, I think that's a very important point. Because of the way work life is set up at the moment, almost every job across the country requires you to have a degree, and I think people who don't go to university…

Mental Health support in Higher Education—evidence session 3
My question is: you said there's a big difference between young people who go to higher education and university have better mental health than those who don't. I know you've said that social deprivation is a factor. Do you think there are any other factors…

Debate on the Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee Report: Review of the Water Resources (Control of Agricultural Pollution) (Wales) Regulations 2021
Can I start by commending the committee for a fabulous report? But it is a shame that we ever got to having to have this report. I've just listened to Jane Dodds from the Liberal Democrats preach how bad this is for farmers, but if her party had stepped up in…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
It's interesting that it also shows that the Labour leader in the UK doesn't believe that the Welsh Government have got any ambition when it comes to health services. That's probably why he's setting his own targets, because he doesn't want to base himself on…
12 October 2022 , Plenary
Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you for that answer, Deputy Minister. Your own UK Labour leader, Keir Starmer, said that a UK Labour Government would guarantee mental health treatment within a month, but your child and adolescent mental health services statistics show that the…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Diolch, Llywydd. Deputy Minister, do you think people who present with a mental health problem should be guaranteed mental health assessment within a month?
12 October 2022 , Plenary
Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you, Minister. Emergency treatment for acute conditions such as stroke or cardiac arrest is more difficult for those people who live in my constituency in rural areas. With stroke and cardiac events it's the minutes and seconds that make the difference…

10 October 2022 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Scrutiny session with the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution, and the Permanent Secretary to the Welsh Government
I'm running into my questions now, Chair, but it's on this point about engagement. I totally agree with you, Counsel General; I do believe that the UK Government should be engaging more with the Welsh Government at an early stage in policy development. But…
10 October 2022 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Scrutiny session with the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution, and the Permanent Secretary to the Welsh Government
Thank you. On that point, Counsel General, where in Welsh Government do you do a bit of sense checking if you do look at the UK Government's legislative programme and you think, 'Well, we could use UK Government legislation to do that'? When in the decision…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Major events
Having that regular event coming back and forth to Wales is fantastic. I would like to see more major darts events in Wales, because I think it's very, very important that we highlight that. But golf is probably my No. 1 love in life, I would…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Major events
That's very true, Huw. I know 13.2 per cent of people in my constituency are employed within tourism. A lot of that tourism in Hay-on-Wye, Crickhowell, Builth Wells and other parts of my constituency rely on that regular tourism, year in, year out, to promote…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Major events
My colleagues have highlighted some of the deficiencies. I'm going to talk about some of the positives, I think, across Wales. Do you know, I'm actually very pleased with the major events that have come to my constituency? I look at the Hay-on-Wye literary…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution
Thank you, Counsel General—£132,000. A freedom of information request stated that the Welsh Government have spent over £200,000 in court cases against UK Government, which could far better be used supporting the Welsh people. Will the Counsel General put…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice
Thank you for that, Deputy Minister. I'm sure that you're pleased, as I am, that the work that he is doing is well under way, and I'm sure that you'd welcome Sarah Atherton to her position in the UK Government, as the Minister for veterans. You did say that…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, people in rural areas spend 10 per cent more of their income on fuel for their cars, so can you tell me what the Welsh Government is doing to improve transport connectivity in rural areas so people don't have to rely on fossil fuels?

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Gynaecological cancer
One of the downsides of going later on in these debates is that a lot of people have already said a lot of what I wanted to raise. I'm not going to reiterate a lot of the comments that other people have made, but one thing I did want to say, and something…

Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government
The UK Government's levelling-up agenda has brought great benefits to mid Wales, with the last autumn budget seeing a total of £22 million being invested in Powys for elements of social care, tourism and housing, most of which are truly needed in my…
