Statement by the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care: Improving Leadership and Performance at Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board
Minister, thank you for your statement. The frustrations that have been expressed in this Chamber I align myself with. The service provided by Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board is insufficient and needs to be improved rapidly. When I read the statement…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you, First Minister. The answer is more than £0.5 billion—more than £0.5 billion that will come to the Welsh Government as a result of increased spending by the UK Government on additional learning needs. That is a huge additional sum that your…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Hospital services and hospital closures
Diolch, Lywydd. As you will see from the Welsh Labour amendments, we agree with the general principle of the motion. Our first amendment adds the obvious caveat that all such decisions should be made whilst prioritising patient safety, given that emergency…

Statement by the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care: Delivering on our priorities: Reducing waiting times and strengthening primary care
I'd like to thank the Minister as well for his statement today. I'm interested in hearing some of the priorities, obviously, on reducing waiting times and strengthening primary care across Wales. Due to the hard work of the NHS staff and, of course, the…

Business Statement and Announcement
Trefnydd, I believe it takes 30 days to develop a habit, and it seems that this minority Government has already made a habit of avoiding scrutiny by making many serious announcements and significant announcements outside of the Senedd first. And, in so doing…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, just on another point of clarity, in the past, you’ve said, and I quote, 'I don't reckon the population of Wales would feel inclined to spend on aircraft carriers.' Now, as you said, we now live in one of the most volatile periods any of us…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch, Lywydd. I'd like to pay tribute to Keir Starmer, if I may. He was one of the most decent and dignified of all politicians that I've known. On behalf of my group, I'd like to express my deepest thanks to the Prime Minister for his service to the…

Questions to the First Minister
I think it was Ronald Reagan who said, 'If you've got to explain it, you've lost it.' Effectively, any difficult decisions that you now face are owed to your party's inability or refusal to cost the promises that you made. You wouldn't tell us before the…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch. First Minister, over the weekend, you and your finance Minister claimed that finances were more difficult than you had expected, even though, as you have confirmed, you were part of the process of setting the budget that you now have. You'll also be…

Questions to the First Minister
Well, science is very clear, First Minister. Science is abundantly clear. Please show us any science that contradicts the measures that Welsh Labour introduced. I don't think your answer today will allay any concerns out there that you're going to be…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, members of your Cabinet clearly wish to end the ban on killing badgers, which this Welsh Labour Party introduced. What is Plaid Cymru's preferred method of killing badgers? Is it to shoot badgers, to poison badgers, perhaps bludgeon them, or…

Statement by the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care: Health and Care Priorities
I'd like to thank the Minister as well for his statement, and, on behalf of Welsh Labour, I'd like to thank the incredible health and care workforce across Wales. For complete transparency, Llywydd, can I declare that my oldest brother works for Novo Nordisk?…

Questions to the First Minister
I'm very grateful to the First Minister for his answer, but can we just have absolute clarity on what the Welsh Government position on small modular reactors now is? I ask because your manifesto failed to reference nuclear energy, failed to provide support…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, again, we are seeing the terrible impact of rising energy costs across Wales on our citizens, on our businesses and, of course, on our public services. Our dependence on energy from overseas must end, not only because it threatens our national…

Statement by the First Minister: The First Minister's Priorities

Plaid Cymru Debate: The rail network
No, I don't accept that. When it comes to value for money, it's all about how you design, build and deliver schemes. As we've seen with the south Wales metro, discontinuous electrification has guaranteed value for money, and so you have to go through a…
