Welsh Labour Debate: The M4 around Newport
What made you personally change your mind from June last year, when you voted against it, and January this year when you voted against an M4 relief road?

Reform UK Debate: Prostate cancer strategy
I'm grateful for the opportunity to speak on this really important issue today. There's real excitement across the cancer charity sector and the cancer workforce because a long-term cancer strategy is a chance to set a new course for patients in Wales. This…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch, Brif Weinidog. The transport Minister's announcement last week shows that this Government is willing to tackle transport issues that have previously been kicked down the road. Now, this is an opportunity to vastly improve public transport throughout…

Legislative Consent: Health Bill - evidence session 4
My question relates to something that was raised by one of the witnesses who gave evidence to us. I'd like to ask about the impact on patients from England who come to Wales for any health services. We've heard that many patients along the border are…

Thanks.

Are you content that the House of Lords will pass this? Are you sure that there is that assurance there?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Legislative Consent: Health Bill - evidence session 4
Excellent. I think you've responded to my second question with those comments, but could you detail what the concerns are in terms of the single patient record, taxation and transfer arrangements?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Legislative Consent: Health Bill - evidence session 4
Thank you. You've mentioned your view with regard to legislative consent motions, but could you tell us about how these have been dealt with by the Welsh Government in the field of health in the past? What discussions has the Welsh Government had with the UK…

Reform UK Debate: Access to HMOs and social housing for foreign nationals
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know that. I didn't mean to offend you.
, Plenary
Reform UK Debate: Access to HMOs and social housing for foreign nationals
Sorry, sorry. The point I'm trying to make, and I'll try to make it succinctly, is that under this, if this passed, you would not be allowed to be in a HMO. Is that right, that you would not be allowed to live in a HMO?
, Plenary
Reform UK Debate: Access to HMOs and social housing for foreign nationals
Yes, originally.

Reform UK Debate: Access to HMOs and social housing for foreign nationals
Just a quick one, sorry. Just to look at the actual wording of the motion, which says that you would 'end access to HMOs and social housing for foreign nationals'. I just wanted to pick up on a point that I would have said earlier on. I believe you're…

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care
Gweinidog, getting to and from appointments using NHS-provided transport or public transport is a significant challenge in Sir Fynwy Torfaen, as we've just heard, and one that affects those who are already the most vulnerable. I've heard accounts of…
, Plenary
Questions to the First Minister
Diolch, Brif Weinidog. Access to essential services is a major concern for many of my constituents in Monmouthshire, and the statistics back that up. Some of the most pressing issues found in the Welsh index of multiple deprivation statistics include access…

Legislative Consent: Health Bill - evidence session 3: Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board and Powys Teaching Health Board
So the existing arrangements for identifying, lifting and resolving cross-border issues are effective at the moment.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Legislative Consent: Health Bill - evidence session 3: Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board and Powys Teaching Health Board
I don't want to put words in your mouth, as it were, but you think, then, that the arrangements that are in place currently work effectively. Will the Bill perhaps make things more complicated? What's your opinion on that?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Legislative Consent: Health Bill - evidence session 3: Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board and Powys Teaching Health Board
I can say it again.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Legislative Consent: Health Bill - evidence session 3: Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board and Powys Teaching Health Board
Thank you. My questions are about governance and accountability. So, does the Bill as it currently stands give sufficient clarity about which organisations are responsible or accountable for cross-border services?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Legislative Consent: Health Bill - evidence session 3: Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board and Powys Teaching Health Board
I have one quick final question for now. How do you think it's possible to safeguard the interests of border communities or rural communities when decisions are taken by healthcare organisations that are larger in England, where those cross-border patients…
, Health and Social Care Committee
Legislative Consent: Health Bill - evidence session 3: Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board and Powys Teaching Health Board
Are there any particular risks or, perhaps, opportunities that arise from these reforms for rural and border communities that rely on the services in England, do you think? Any opportunities?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Legislative Consent: Health Bill - evidence session 3: Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board and Powys Teaching Health Board
Thank you. I'm going to ask my questions in Welsh. So, what, in your view, are the main risks for the continuity of care for patients from Wales arising from the abolition of NHS England and wider reforms to the English NHS?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Legislative Consent: Health Bill - evidence session 2: Llais
I'll ask this in English, sorry. Just one quick question: are there any patients from England that come into Wales, and does the Bill propose—? Does it say that the rights of patients in England will be affected if they come into Wales in any way? Is there…
, Health and Social Care Committee
Legislative Consent: Health Bill - evidence session 2: Llais
These problems already exist. Is the change in the Bill going to worsen the situation or improve the situation, or maintain the same kinds of problems that already exist?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Legislative Consent: Health Bill - evidence session 2: Llais
Do the reforms that have been proposed give sufficient clarity to patients as to the responsibility, accountability and pathways to raise concerns or complaints?
