Services for care experienced children: exploring radical reform - evidence session 6
During the pre-proceedings period, parents should have a solicitor or a lawyer. Is there a problem in providing that, in your experience? Just a yes or a no—that's all I'm looking for, in your experience.

So there's a paucity of services. Helen, did you want to talk about PAMS?

Services for care experienced children: exploring radical reform - evidence session 6
I'm going to leap in if that's all right, because we haven't got much time. What isn't working? You mentioned parent assessment manual, PAMS, assessments; are they not available? What isn't working? That's what we're interested in, in order to make sure that…

Thank you very much. The question focused on pre-proceedings work. Would you like me to start again? The question focused on pre-proceedings work—that’s the work that starts before the public services go to court. That’s the 12 weeks before court action…

I'd like to preface my contribution to this debate by saying thank you so much to the Minister. I have said on many occasions that it’s a job that I would run a million miles from—to set a £19 billion budget. I would like to thank her for the discussions that…

Questions to the First Minister
Good afternoon, Minister. You won't be surprised to know that one aspect that I've consistently raised here in the Siambr is that of banning greyhound racing. Obviously many of you know that I've raised the issue of our dog, Arthur. Sadly, we said goodbye to…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
It's 123,000, I beg your pardon. Thank you for the correction. In my conversations with dentists and the British Dental Association, I hear that they cannot actually deliver those appointments for new patients because practices do not have the capacity…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
You'll know that NHS dentistry is something that I've raised with you time and time again in this Siambr. I'm concerned to hear again that we're hearing about these additional appointments—120,000 we've heard before, and I think 130,000 you said this time—

Debt and the impact of the rising cost of living: evidence session 1
Thank you, Chair. That's a real shock, isn't it, to hear that. I'm not sure what to say about that, to be honest. I don't have any questions—. I have many more questions, but I know that we don't have time to run on, so I will wait until the end, if there's…

Debt and the impact of the rising cost of living: evidence session 1
Thank you very much, and you've just reminded me about the importance of prepayment meters also. We've heard from you, Peter, with regard to that. But would it be possible for Luke or Steffan to talk a bit on that, on prepayment meters and this whole area?…

Plaid Cymru Debate: Reducing NHS pressures
The Welsh NHS is facing pressures that 'cannot be coped with' and that's not me saying that; that's the Welsh NHS Confederation. And I'll be honest, it's no different in England, so, actually, we can't take any lessons from the Conservatives across there. We…
