Diolch, Chair. I'm really pleased that Members have engaged in the debate. I'm really pleased to hear that the Counsel General has said that she will work particularly with Sioned Williams at Stage 3. I ask the committee to support my amendments 40 to 45.

Thank you, Chair. Amendments 40 to 45, collectively, would give effect to the recommendations that this committee has made previously that it should be an obligation on the Standards of Conduct Committee to issue recall guidance, and that such guidance should…

Group 5: Office of Environmental Governance Wales: strategy (Amendments 27, 34, 28, 29, 30)
Diolch, Llywydd. I am going to move the amendment in my name. It requires the Office of Environmental Governance Wales to set out its strategy on how it will exercise its function in a way that avoids overlap with the functions of the UK Government on climate…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch, First Minister. In charities week, I want to pay tribute to all of Wales’s charities, and they do indeed form the backbone of community life in towns, villages and cities right across our country. I welcome the Welsh Government’s commitment to…

So, you've identified them, and it's much the same as we've identified, to be honest, in this committee. Will the budgets that are needed to improve that be retained so that we can, obviously, see those improvements?

We're still talking money. We know that some targets—waiting times—are still higher, perhaps, than we would like. So, that being the case, what is your best current estimate of the investment required in the next Senedd to consolidate those gains, which we've…

General scrutiny session with the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care, Minister for Children and Social Care and Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing.
That leads me nicely on to my question about funding and the investment that has been made by the Welsh Government. More than £1 billion over this Senedd has been invested in NHS recovery and planned care, and there has been further funding added in this year…

And just finally from me, of course it all, as you say, marries together; there's no single unit. The recent announcement of women's health hubs, moving things out to GPs, to the local pharmacies—all of those things come under this umbrella, under that plan…

—but what that actually means to people on the ground. And you gave a demonstration there of how that is going to help, and also that there's a road yet to travel. So, you're confident in that.

Over to me. Looking at system transformation and the Audit Wales report, they made some observations that the current statutory planning and financial framework could be improved and that delivering a financially sustainable NHS would require more fundamental…

Thank you. As you say, there are some examples of where it's working really well, and other areas where it could be improved. We know that it's a growing need. The demand is going up, not down. The workforce to provide all of that care is a real challenge. We…

Good morning, both. Where there has been progress—and that's great—between the integration of care between social services and health, and where people aren't moving, maybe, as quickly as others, or as quickly as they might, is that data that you have…

It seems from everything you've said that the new board will become the core part of the rail planning framework for Wales under the new reformed rail system. Do you agree that there—? You've already said there should be greater transparency on its…

Annual scrutiny of Transport for Wales
You've already told us that you are the chair of the Wales rail board. The question for us is how do the public get that information about what that board is doing? You've outlined roughly how it operates. Where is the resource and the support coming from?
