I'll just ask one more question about children in this situation, because the committee did call for urgent fast-tracked specialist therapeutic support for children who are either experiencing or witnessing gender-based violence. Have you been able to follow…

General ministerial scrutiny: session with the Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, Trefnydd and Chief Whip
Thank you. I've got one last question, if that's okay. The police and crime commissioners will be abolished by 2028 and, obviously, there'll be a new system. Have you been able to have any discussions yet about what that new system might be and what models…

[Inaudible.]—which are the committee's safety concerns about the expansion of Parc prison. I believe you have raised this with the UK Government. Do you feel that the UK Government would be able to respond to this and is there a possibility of stopping this…

General ministerial scrutiny: session with the Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, Trefnydd and Chief Whip
Thank you very much. I was going to ask about prison, probation and policing. So, the first question I was going to ask was about probation, and so I wondered if the memorandum of understanding has been finalised. And what are its actual implications?

Keith also mentioned the Good Food Nation (Scotland) Act 2022, and I wondered what views you had about that, whether legislation is something that is beneficial.

Bore da. As you know, the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales has called for a national food resilience plan for Wales to build on the existing strategic approach. What do you think of this proposal? Do you think it would result in a more joined-up…

Legislative Consent Motion: The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
I think you misunderstand the situation, Darren. The previous vote that was held here on assisted dying was on a much wider concept. It had no deadlines. This Bill we are debating today—people must be terminally ill, they must have at least only six months to…

Legislative Consent Motion: The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
Thank you very much for taking the intervention. I just wanted to make the point that disabled people have led the fight for assisted dying. If you just think of Debbie Purdy, Diane Pretty, Tony Nicholson, they were all people who were very severely disabled…

Statement by the Minister for Children and Social Care: Supporting the Social Care Workforce

Questions to the First Minister

Annual scrutiny of the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales
Right. Thank you. Finally from me, I think you said you were quite happy for the responsibility of the Act being split across different areas, but now you're under one Cabinet Minister, so I wondered what you felt about that.
