Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
I too would be very interested to see what actions have been taken on the back of this report into these inequalities. I don't know if you're aware, Minister, but, in Aneurin Bevan health board, even if you're put on the NHS urgent list for mental health…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care: Winter preparedness in the NHS
Cabinet Secretary, I recently tabled a question to you to ask you what was the longest a person had to wait in the back of an ambulance at the Grange hospital last year. I received a reply from the Government saying that the Welsh Government did not know. I…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales: A new partnership to transform our railways
Cabinet Secretary, thank you for your statement. Just a quick observation concerning a question, really. Can I firstly, of course, welcome the fact that Labour are willing to use a private sector company like Hitachi to deliver a better railway system? I…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, I concur with what you said. In my region, General Dynamics has invested more than £12 million in a new UK armoured fighting vehicle centre of excellence on the site of the former south Wales colliery, and BAE Systems, near where I live, have…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Winter fuel payment
Can I firstly say how disappointing it is to see such empty Labour benches today, when we're talking about the winter fuel payment? For many pensioners, cold weather isn't just uncomfortable, it's dangerous. For pensioners, particularly those on low incomes…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, Trefnydd and Chief Whip
Cabinet Secretary, it's clear today that Members across the region have raised the same issue and I'm really glad that we've all used our questions to highlight what's going on at the Blackwood Miners' Institute; it is an important institution in the Valleys…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales
Cabinet Secretary, the First Minister has stated, of course, that better bus services will be one of her priorities, and as the Welsh Conservatives of course we fully support that. Cabinet Secretary, perhaps more adults would use public transport if the Welsh…

Statement by the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs: Cleaning up our rivers, lakes and seas
Thank you for your statement, Cabinet Secretary. I grew up fishing and swimming in the River Usk, and I want my children and others to be able to do so. My children do now, but it does make me wince a bit, knowing what's coming into our rivers, with visible…

Statement by the First Minister: Tata Steel
First Minister, as my colleague said, and as has been recognised across the Chamber, this deal announced today is identical, in every respect, to the deal that was announced by the Conservative Government last year. The Government will pay £500 million…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Constitution and Cabinet Office
Teaching assistants are undervalued and underpaid and, often, the first to be made redundant when it's time to make cuts, and are severely underpaid in the public sector. Those with additional learning needs are already neglected in larger classroom sizes and…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education
Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. That's quite a disappointing response. All of us in this Chamber would agree that teachers form a vital part of society, educating the next generation of professionals who will be responsible for the future of our country. Last…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Housing, Local Government and Planning
Thank you. Diolch. Cabinet Secretary, in 2021 the Welsh Labour Party announced their target of building 20,000 new social homes for rent by 2026, as you've just outlined, but on current projections it seems that you're going to fail this target. As was just…

Ministerial scrutiny: Evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Culture and Social Justice
Just really quickly, it's my last question, Chair. But before I got back into politics the second time around, I was helping my community to try and get a 3G pitch. To do that, there was funding coming from the FAW, the Welsh Rugby Union and a local college…

Ministerial scrutiny: Evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Culture and Social Justice
Yes, absolutely, Cabinet Secretary. It's very sad to see funding for pump tracks, for example, ending soon, girls' football development centres closing down—not men's, I hasten to add, so that's interesting—in my region. But it's great to see that investment…

Ministerial scrutiny: Evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Culture and Social Justice
Thank you. I'd just like to talk to you about sport, Cabinet Secretary. Sport is often the first thing to be cut, and has been, sadly, over the last couple of decades. I find that regrettable, when we look at some of the good work and investment that's gone…

Ministerial scrutiny: Evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Culture and Social Justice
Yes, Chair, thank you. I just wanted to second that and, of course, reiterate what you've just said, actually. I just wanted to say that this is people we're talking about and them losing their jobs. And once that talent is drained from Wales, because of us…

Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Welsh Language
Diolch, Cabinet Secretary. Last year, it was recorded that one in three shops on Newport high street lay empty, and there are many more empty shops across my region of South Wales East, with it now seemingly being the norm to see, which is a sad place to be…

Diolch. Cabinet Secretary, the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board last week, as you've just outlined, at the Grange hospital, announced that it is under enormous pressure, urging people to only attend if they had serious injuries. I went to the accident…
