National contemporary art gallery: evidence session 1 - delivery partners
I might be entirely wrong, but I assume that a reliance on the public purse is something that, when you look at other similar galleries at an international level, is necessary. It's unrealistic to believe that these galleries can be entirely self-sustaining.

And just finally from me, if that's okay, could you tell us a little bit more about how equality and sustainability considerations have been included in the work so far?

Thank you for that. Has there been any capital spend to date, and if there has been, has that come from your current organisational budget, or has that been funded externally?

Does Pedr want to add anything there? Yes.

Yes, fine. Perhaps we could get a response—. I know we want to look in detail at the digital element, maybe, but would you like to touch on that now?

Yes, and I do think that creating a network of display areas with an appropriate atmosphere for exhibition would hopefully increase access and provide an ability to take our collections to various parts of Wales. We'll return, perhaps, to the strengths and…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
The Minister I'm sure will be aware of the devastating bird flu outbreak in Flintshire amongst Wales's largest colonies of common terns and black-headed gulls now at these sites, which span the Dee estuary. It's estimated that hundreds of birds have died, and…

The Animal By-Products, Pet Passport and Animal Health (Fees) (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2023
I fully understand the Government’s motive here in terms of full cost recovery. I absolutely get that, and I understand the rationale for it. But the reality is, of course, that this is going to hit a number of businesses, predominantly in rural…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Rural communities
Thank you very much, Llywydd, and could I thank those who have tabled this motion this afternoon? Evidently, we agree with the content of the motion; we will also be supporting the amendment of the Government. It was good to be reminded that there is a third…

Debate on petition P-06-1340, 'Stop the change of speed limits to 20mph on 17th September'
Diolch, Llywydd. Apologies, Natasha, for gazumping you, but there we are. Can I first of all thank the petitioners for signing and introducing this petition? I think it does show the value, actually, of the petitions process here in the Senedd, that we can…

Stage 4 of The Agriculture (Wales) Bill
It's a privilege to contribute for the first time as Plaid Cymru's new spokesperson on rural affairs. I look forward to working with stakeholders, with Members across the Chamber, and, of course, to scrutinise and to work with the Minister too. I think it is…

Questions to the First Minister
In tackling the pressures on the NHS workforce, we must also have public health campaigns that are robust, that prevent the need for healthcare in the first instance. Effective intervention by the Government to decrease the number of preventable diseases is…

Questions to the First Minister
And one person’s number of additional staff does not necessarily equate to full-time equivalent staff either, First Minister, in the figures that you quoted earlier.

Questions to the First Minister
And hopefully with equitable access, wherever you live in Wales. Your Government has often asserted that there are more people working in the Welsh NHS than ever before. I don’t dispute that overall picture, but it’s important, I think, to scrutinise the…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch yn fawr iawn, Llywydd. Last week, First Minister, the Royal College of Radiologists published its 2022 workforce census, with some damning results, actually, from a Welsh perspective. It revealed staggering discrepancies in the proportion of…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
Yes, thank you for that, because a lot of people are asking how things might be different in a future scenario. Because you will know about the current impasse in Wrexham, where Wrexham council now finds itself in a position where a consortium of developers…

Questions to the First Minister
Indeed. You mentioned the child poverty strategy. One of the priority areas, of course, is mitigating the impact of welfare reform, which I suppose reiterates the point that you make in terms of actions by the UK Government. We will agree, of course, what the…

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you for that, and you're right, it's working with the community and working up. It is now five years, of course, since the Welsh Government phased out its Communities First programme, which did much of that, I have to say. Since then, poverty levels…

Questions to the First Minister
First Minister, we were all shaken, of course, by the tragic events that unfolded in Ely last month. Now, when asked if your Government should have been doing more for Ely, you said, and I quote, 'I think all layers of government and all aspects of government…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: NHS Dentistry
The figures are damning, and it does echo something the Minister's refused to acknowledge in the past, but that has to be acknowledged now. There are three tiers within the service, as we've heard. There are those who can access NHS services, and they are…
