Thank you very much, Gwyn. This is one of the reasons why it's important that people work before they come into politics, because it is important that we hear the experience that you've brought to us.

Member’s Legislative Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): A Bill on corporate parenting
Thank you very much for doing that. Just on that point about should it be voluntary or should it be statutory, if you're a young person and you want to actually hold an agency to account and it's not statutory, what powers does that young person have? Would…

Diolch yn fawr iawn, Ddirprwy Lywydd. I do really want to start, as many have, by really praising Sarah and the work that you've done. I heard you on Radio Wales this morning, and what an advocate you are—an amazing interview, and you really put it across so…

Questions to the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Minister for Social Justice
I also feel the same as you, it's really encouraging to hear how much focus there is on childcare. But, with the greatest of respect to Helen, it does, in my view, take some nerve for Reform UK to demand answers on childcare when your entire Senedd manifesto…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Social Care, Mental Health and Women's Health: Priorities for social care, mental health and women's health
I want to start with some really good news. On 18 June, we heard the most awesome news that children vaccinated aged 12 to 13 are now close to zero risk of dying from cervical cancer before the age of 30. Between 2020 and 2024, there were no cervical cancer…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Transport: Our Vision for the Devolution of Rail
Good afternoon, Deputy Minister. Thank you for the statement. I do welcome your ambition, unlike Reform UK. I am totally perplexed by your statement that you feel that Wales does not have the skills to have rail devolved to Wales. You're always doing Wales…

Good afternoon, Minister. I want to wave the flag for Powys, please. We've seen in Powys a real increase and a welcome increase in Welsh-medium education over the years. Families also in rural areas in Powys have felt that access to Welsh-medium education is…

Prynhawn da, Drefnydd. Could I ask, please, for a statement on the worsening state of youth unemployment in Wales, particularly in rural areas like Powys? Data uncovered by the Welsh Liberal Democrats earlier this month show that youth unemployment in Wales…

Questions to the First Minister
Good afternoon, First Minister. You're hearing a lot about Powys this afternoon. I will just follow up on the issue of us being really unfairly treated in Powys with the cross-border issues that we face. As we now know, there are rumours and concerns that we…

Statement by the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care: Health and care winter 2026-27 preparedness
It's really great to hear so much talked about in relation to social care. That really is going to help us if we can get people out of hospital, but also stop them from going in in the first place. Because we know that last Christmas 558 in Wales spent that…

Thank you very much for your statement, and it's great to see investment here in our bus services. I played a small role in promoting and ensuring that we secured the £1 bus fare for young people, and I know that, across the Siambr, when we jointly work…

Questions to the Counsel General
[Inaudible.]—Llywydd. I'm so sorry, I'm sure you didn't mean to say this, but you referred to me as 'a lady', and I really don't find that acceptable.

Thank you very much for raising this issue. I just want to refer back to an issue that I raised on this concern with the First Minister, where he acknowledged the unfairness in the waiting system facing Powys patients, and that he recognised it as a matter of…

Good afternoon, Prif Weinidog. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have so many people asking questions on this important issue, and it's good to have cross-party support. I just want to focus on young carers, if I may. Twenty-two thousand young carers in…

Reform UK Debate: A Welsh Rivers Act
Thank you so much. Would you also accept the fact, and it is a fact, that 60 per cent of the EU laws have had to be put into UK laws, so, actually, we are not making our own laws?

Reform UK Debate: A Welsh Rivers Act
Diolch. Can I just finish off with this: the communities of Wales are not waiting for us; they are testing their own rivers now? They are in the courts, they are fighting for the rights of nature and the very least that we can do here in the Senedd, and that…

Reform UK Debate: A Welsh Rivers Act
I share your bafflement, Janet, yes. So, we share this, that we are concerned that Dŵr Cymru is actually almost operating as if it is a shareholder-owned company. We were promised in the last Senedd that there would be a review of Dŵr Cymru. I do appreciate…
