Welsh Conservatives Debate: NHS Dentistry
An investigation just last year by the British Dental Association found that 93 per cent of dental practices in Wales were no longer taking on new NHS adult patients. That's an increase of 8 per cent since 2019. In 2021-22, there were 1,420 dentists with NHS…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Yes, okay. They wanted to do this again, but apparently, for them to be able to do it with the lack of staff, they needed to register with Care Inspectorate Wales. This just baffles me. So, Deputy Minister, what can you do to ensure that there is greater…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you, Deputy Minister. I'm not sure if the Chamber's aware, but I understand that the health Minister did visit Llandudno hospital last week. Now, I was part—[Interruption.] Anyway, I'm only sorry you didn't invite me along too, but hey-ho. So, Deputy…

Debate on the Local Government and Housing Committee Report—Homelessness
Whilst TACP was awarded no specific additional funding within the 2023-24 Welsh Government budget, it just—. I can’t understand why that funding wasn’t increased. But I do acknowledge, Minister, that you’re now making £15 million extra available to local…

Debate on the Local Government and Housing Committee Report—Homelessness
I refer Members to my published declarations of interest. I'd like to thank the committee and the Chair for the report, but how sad, isn't it, that, in 2023, such a report is needed, and to learn of the thousands of people homeless or waiting in need in…

Debate on a Member's Legislative Proposal—High-rise building safety
Oh, right, okay. Well, I now implore all Members to support my proposal today that we now put this into law. That will protect these leaseholders who are innocent victims. Diolch.

Debate on a Member's Legislative Proposal—High-rise building safety
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Now then, I will have to declare an interest in this—an interest I didn't know that I had, even yesterday as I sat here. So, I arrived home yesterday, at the apartments that I am in—I know that other Members are in also—and I had a…

Questions to the Senedd Commission

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence session 7
I was in a queue the other day. On the A55, we’ve got roundabouts and we were hoping to get rid of those, because there’s a lot of queuing, and I was in this queue for 23 minutes, and I was like, 'Do I turn my ignition off?' I just felt really guilty for 23…

Thank you. What are your views on the provisions relating to fixed penalties for vehicle idling?

And then—. Does—? No. Okay. Some witnesses have expressed concern that the duty for designated public authorities to have regard to the strategy is not strong enough.

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Bill - evidence session 7
No, no, it's all right. A suggestion has been around two to three years. Would you say that that seems reasonable?
