Social Partnership and Public Procurement Bill: ministerial evidence session
So, I mean in a proportionate way, first of all, would I be right in assuming that the council offers resolution advice, and the Ministers assess how that progresses before then considering whether some formal mechanism for mediation is required?

Social Partnership and Public Procurement Bill: ministerial evidence session
Lovely. That's really good to hear. It would be very welcome indeed if we saw a number of FE and HE institutions enter into social partnership on a voluntary basis before the Bill becomes an Act. I'm just going to move on to some more specific parts of the…

Social Partnership and Public Procurement Bill: ministerial evidence session
Yes. Thanks, Chair. Thanks, Minister. If we go back to June, the Welsh Government raised concerns that including both higher and further education institutions within the scope of the Bill might well impact on the Office for National Statistics' assessment of…

Thanks, Chair. Forgive me if I missed an answer to this question earlier. I know that we've been discussing and you've been outlining the Government's position on the internal market Act, but specifically with regard to section 36, has the Government…

Okay, thank you. Would you be able to outline what assessment is being undertaken in regard to the Bill's interaction with the future extended producer responsibility proposals?

Draft Environmental Protection (Single-use Plastic) Bill - evidence session with the Minister for Climate Change
Thanks, Chair. I was just wondering whether the Government's undertaking an assessment of the local authorities' capacity to enforce the Bill, and do you envisage any additional support being made available to local authorities?

Mental health inequalities: Evidence session with the Deputy Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing and the Deputy Minister for Social Services
Sorry, Minister. It was regarding unmet need, whether an assessment has been made of unmet need—for example, people who require support, but haven't presented themselves to services, and perhaps are instead seeking support and information and advice…

Thanks, Minister. That point you made at the start about the real-time surveillance is really, really welcome, because, as you say, inquests can take so much time. To be able to take a proactive approach immediately after a tragedy is just so valuable. I'm…

Thank you, Chair. Minister, I'm going to ask about suicide prevention, if I may. First of all, how will the new approach to suicide prevention, described by you in the letter to the committee that we received back at the end of August, address the increased…

Thank you. Yes, I was just going to ask about comparing the impact of innovative social prescribing schemes. How are you able to compare the various innovations that are taking place? Because the concept of social prescribing is still relatively new, and, to…

Thank you, Minister. Just one more quick question from myself, and it regards trauma and the new trauma-informed framework for Wales. How big a cultural shift do you think is going to be required in order for the aims of the framework to be met? And when I…

Thank you, Minister. There may well be a role for a research institution in examining the effectiveness of Governments in meeting those needs. Just out of interest, do ministerial submissions now contain any requirement to assess decisions or proposals to…
