Statement by the Deputy Minister for Social Care, Mental Health and Women's Health: Improving Family-centred Neonatal Care in Wales: Progress Towards the Bliss Baby Charter
It's clear, isn't it, that there is support for the charter across the Chamber, and I'm pleased to say, of course, that the Liberal Democrats here in Wales also support it. May I just ask: how will you ensure that there is a specialist workforce available to…

Statement by the First Minister: 'New Ambition for Wales: Programme for Government 2026-2030'
I've got two issues, and I genuinely really want to understand this. You keep using the phrase, 'I want the people of Wales to decide their future' in relation to the issue around independence, and I really would like some clarity on that. What does that…

Statement by the First Minister: 'New Ambition for Wales: Programme for Government 2026-2030'
Thank you for the statement.

Statement by the First Minister: Weather, wildfires, drought and resilience
I also want to pay tribute to all of those firefighters, farmers, landowners, moorland managers, the army as well, for the work that they did. In my constituency this August, a wildfire in Glascwm just showed the importance of those people coming together and…

Questions to the First Minister
I welcome the emphasis in the consultation on increasing community energy, and I think it's shameful and shameless of Reform UK to abandon—[Interruption.] It's my job—to abandon and just to sideline net zero. The world is on fire. As the First Minister has…

I've got a very personal story. In 2016, I was a candidate for the Welsh Senedd in Maldwyn. Suddenly, the sight in my right eye went. I couldn't see anything. It was the day of the election, so I was slightly busy. I was in Newtown, and I really didn't know…
