Questions to the First Minister
Good afternoon, First Minister. As well as paying tribute to the health workers and those in our health professions who deal with cancer, there is also a range of charities who meet the needs of everybody suffering from cancer, and that includes the families…

Women's experiences in the criminal justice system—evidence session 1
It's an interesting follow on from what Sioned's saying. It might be that you don't want to add to this, but I was going to ask you—. It's been fascinating, and you are clearly such experts, in terms of the criminal justice system in general and particularly…

Thank you. Thank you, Chair. Diolch yn fawr iawn.

Women's experiences in the criminal justice system—evidence session 1
That would be very, very interesting. Just following on, really, with one last question, I promise, Chair. On the issue around police, then, is there more to be done there, around working with and raising awareness of the police around diversion options? Just…

Women's experiences in the criminal justice system—evidence session 1
Thank you. That's really interesting, and, Emily, to finish off there.

Women's experiences in the criminal justice system—evidence session 1
That’s really interesting, thank you. I don’t know if, Emily or Andrea, you wanted to add to that. Thank you.

Women's experiences in the criminal justice system—evidence session 1
Thank you. Can I just ask about the mechanics of it? So, what needs to happen to stop women getting custodial sentences? I suppose that’s what I’m really interested in. You mentioned pre-sentence reports, and that they don’t seem to be available for all…
24 October 2022 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Women's experiences in the criminal justice system—evidence session 1
Yes, thank you very much. I think you’ve responded to quite a few of the issues, or we’ve discussed quite a few of the issues, that I was going to raise under this, but I suppose the big one for me is what you feel the Welsh Government can do to actually look…

Women's experiences in the criminal justice system—evidence session 1
That's what I wanted to ask, I wanted to ask about the evidence. That's great, thank you. I just wanted to ask about the evidence, but Emily has said that it is available. Thank you very much.

Women's experiences in the criminal justice system—evidence session 1
Sorry, Chair, can I quickly ask just one last thing? Scotland have done a lot, haven't they, on ACEs and the criminal justice system. And so I just wonder, Chair, if we could think about looking at the Scottish model and evidence around the criminal justice…
24 October 2022 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Women's experiences in the criminal justice system—evidence session 1
Anything, really. But I'm particularly interested in whether there are any really good approaches using ACEs to avoid custodial provision, whether there are any good models internationally. I'm cheating slightly, because I did hear of one in New Zealand…

Women's experiences in the criminal justice system—evidence session 1
Yes, adverse childhood experiences. Sorry. If nobody is indicating, then that's probably—. Oh, Anne. Go ahead.
24 October 2022 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Women's experiences in the criminal justice system—evidence session 1
I wasn't sure where to raise this, but it's about adverse childhood experiences and some of the practice around ACEs, and obviously it comes under all of the areas that we're looking at here, but obviously around custodial provision, and whether you know of…
24 October 2022 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Women's experiences in the criminal justice system—evidence session 1
Yes, thank you. We could spend a long time on this, because I think we've really heard a lot about it in the Senedd. I think one of the questions we had is: do you happen to know how many women's centres there are in Wales—how many we have in Wales? No. Okay…
24 October 2022 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Women's experiences in the criminal justice system—evidence session 1
Yes. Sorry, just to follow up on that issue as well. So, what is the issue around PSRs not being ordered? Is it about capacity in the probation system, or judges not being aware? What is the barrier there? Do we know?

Plaid Cymru Debate: The private rental sector
Thank you so much. It was really great to hear you saying 'more homes, less people homeless', but I'm just really concerned about the Conservative position in relation to selling off our social housing. It's something I believe your party still supports. I…

Debate on the Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee Report: Review of the Water Resources (Control of Agricultural Pollution) (Wales) Regulations 2021
A huge amount of work has been done by the committee, for which we're very grateful, to make the case for a more proportionate response to what is a really serious issue. I haven't spoken to any farmer who doesn't recognise that the water quality needs to be…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
In visiting the community dental services in Llanelli, I learned a lot about what they do in meeting the needs of vulnerable people: people who have disabilities, mental health difficulties, and also refugees. But there was a concern around the erosion of…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you. I had an excellent time visiting a clinic providing community dental services in Llanelli in September. I'd like to thank everyone who has been working in communities across Wales, particularly during the red period of the pandemic, to ensure that…
