Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Rural Resilience and Sustainability
Cabinet Minister, during the previous Senedd, we brought forward the greyhound racing ban here in the Senedd and I know that, at the time, you had concerns about that piece of legislation, about it being rushed and perhaps not looking at the fullness of the…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Transport: Key Infrastructure Resilience
I'd like to thank the Cabinet Minister for your statement. It's a shame the title said 'key infrastructure resilience' when it's only really covered two parts of infrastructure, but I'd just like to ask, other parts of infrastructure resilience are things…

Statement by the Cabinet Minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning: Priorities for Local Government, Housing and Planning
I'd like to welcome the Cabinet Minister to her position. One part of your portfolio is the development of national significance. We've seen in my own constituency the Nant Mithil planning application for large-scale wind turbines—that's had huge local…

Business Statement and Announcement
Diolch, Lywydd. Trefnydd, I'd like two statements, please. First, I'd like a written statement from the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care on waiting lists. We've heard a number of weeks in this Chamber now that waiting lists will be eradicated—our longest…

Statement by the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care: Health and Care Priorities
Can I thank the Cabinet Minister for his statement today and welcome him to his new role? I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all our NHS staff and health and social care staff across Wales. Health and care is one of the greatest responsibilities any…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, over two decades, the Welsh suckler herd has fallen by over 40 per cent here in Wales, and that's put a huge pressure on our critical mass of livestock numbers. We've seen it in our abattoirs across the country. With the numbers dropping, that…

Statement by the First Minister: The First Minister's Priorities
First Minister, during the election campaign, a number of issues were raised by my constituents. One of the most prominent issues was the industrialisation of mid Wales by Bute Energy and Green GEN Cymru with their pylons and turbines. A number of your…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education
Over the term of this Senedd, what we have seen in Powys is the Liberal Democrats closing a number of small primary schools across my constituency. It's quite ironic considering the previous Liberal Democrat Member for that constituency, who was based here…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government
Thank you for your answer, Cabinet Secretary. Even though you hold the portfolio responsibility for housing, a lot of the levers for actually delivering the building of homes sits outside your portfolio, in terms of apprenticeships—making sure we've got the…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government
3. How is the Cabinet Secretary increasing the availability of homes for people in Brecon and Radnorshire? OQ63924
3 March 2026 , Plenary
The Road Traffic (Vehicle Emissions) (Fixed Penalty) (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2026
We'll be voting against these regulations today, because we believe that the proposed increase in fines is excessive, unjustified and a part of a broader platform of policies from this Welsh Labour Government, normally supported by Plaid Cymru, that unjustly…
3 March 2026 , Plenary
The Annual Returns (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Wales) Regulations 2026
I will not be supporting these regulations today. The Minister has, obviously, had this debate previously about the removal of profit from care. I can understand why the Welsh Government wants to get there. But, unfortunately, I do not feel that there is the…
3 March 2026 , Plenary
Business Statement and Announcement
Diolch, Deputy Presiding Officer. Trefnydd, I'd like a statement, please, from the Welsh Government on the protection of Welsh elections. In the recent Gorton and Denton by-election, it was observed by democracy observers a widespread family voting across the…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, I was contacted by a constituent who has to take statins on a daily basis to control their blood pressure. When they went to their pharmacy, they were told that there's going to be a national shortage of statins across the world due to raw…

Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Chair of Aneurin Bevan University Health Board: evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
Okay, thank you.

Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Chair of Aneurin Bevan University Health Board: evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
Really quickly then, obviously a health board like Aneurin Bevan is in financial problems, as a number of health boards are, so, obviously, local authorities are picking it up. I'm just interested, from your experience, how you then try and get finance…

Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Chair of Aneurin Bevan University Health Board: evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
Could I drill into that just one little bit?
26 February 2026 , Health and Social Care Committee
Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Chair of Aneurin Bevan University Health Board: evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
Just on this point, Andrew, because one of the big driving factors of delayed discharge is actually who's paying for it. That's what I hear from my own health board. I hear it from my own local authority. A lot of the back and forth goes between whether it's…

Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Chair of Aneurin Bevan University Health Board: evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
Okay, lovely. Diolch.
26 February 2026 , Health and Social Care Committee
Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Chair of Aneurin Bevan University Health Board: evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
A final question from me—sorry, Cadeirydd—obviously, we've seen over a number of years a different view of hospital estates across Aneurin Bevan, with downgrading in Nevill Hall and the building of the Grange, which has got its own individual challenges. I'm…
26 February 2026 , Health and Social Care Committee
Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Chair of Aneurin Bevan University Health Board: evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
It is balancing priorities and strategy, isn't it? I think there was a piece that came out yesterday in the South Wales Argus, wasn't there, about waiting list times having come down in Aneurin Bevan, but cancer waiting times are obviously not improving, or…

Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Chair of Aneurin Bevan University Health Board: evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
So, obviously, to do these things, the organisation is going to need quite substantial change. Do you have any ideas yourself currently of how the health board needs to—I'll just get my words out, and put my teeth back in—strategically change to meet these…
26 February 2026 , Health and Social Care Committee
Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Chair of Aneurin Bevan University Health Board: evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
Thank you. So, on strategy, Aneurin Bevan, as you're probably well aware, has got its challenges. It's in level 4 escalation for financial matters, and for urgent care as well. I'm just interested—. They've got some models, so they're going to address that…
