Legislative Consent: Health Bill - evidence session 2: Llais
My questions will be in Welsh, if that's okay, if you'd like to put the translation equipment on. What risks exist for patients with the organisational change that could happen as a result of this Bill?

Legislative Consent: Health Bill - evidence session 1: NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee
Thank you. So, do you believe that, currently, the Bill shows that there are effective methods for raising and resolving cross-border operational, commissioning and contractual issues? Are they sufficient at present or do you think that that goes back to the…

Legislative Consent: Health Bill - evidence session 1: NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee
Thank you. I'll going to ask you questions in Welsh, if you want to wear the translation equipment. Before I ask my question, I wanted to note very quickly that I would have liked to ask you about general things that are happening with NWJCC at the…

Questions to the Cabinet Minister for Rural Resilience and Sustainability
I welcome your rapid first steps on the climate and nature action plan for Wales, because if we're going to meet net zero by 2040 and achieve substantial nature recovery by 2050, we'll need to keep moving quickly and effectively, because the pace at which…

Trefnydd, we know that many people were preparing for surgery when they heard, by word of mouth or by social media, that their surgeries under the Welsh Gender Service had been paused during the Senedd's summer recess. One of my constituents was actually in…

General scrutiny session with the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care, the Deputy Minister for Public and Preventative Health and the Deputy Minister for Social Care, Mental Health and Women’s Health
Just a really quick question on mental health waiting lists. I've had a lot of people contact me saying that the waiting times are two years to see someone about mental health issues. Obviously, that's too long when people have a crisis. So, I just wondered…

General scrutiny session with the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care, the Deputy Minister for Public and Preventative Health and the Deputy Minister for Social Care, Mental Health and Women’s Health
Diolch. We may come on to more detail on women's health in a minute, but just to focus back on screening—. Sorry, did you want to—?

General scrutiny session with the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care, the Deputy Minister for Public and Preventative Health and the Deputy Minister for Social Care, Mental Health and Women’s Health
That's okay. If I could just move on to public health, then, I know that we've discussed previously that both of us are interested in early diagnosis of cancer. A lot of the screening programmes that are run by Public Health Wales—. Well, they're all run by…

General scrutiny session with the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care, the Deputy Minister for Public and Preventative Health and the Deputy Minister for Social Care, Mental Health and Women’s Health
Thank you. You've spoken about a lot of things there, so I won't be able to respond to you on every one. Earlier you mentioned spending money. Is there a specific budget for this, or does this come out of the budgets of all the departments across Government?…

General scrutiny session with the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care, the Deputy Minister for Public and Preventative Health and the Deputy Minister for Social Care, Mental Health and Women’s Health
I think that most of my questions are going to be for you, Deputy Minister for Public and Preventative Health. I think that we are all pleased to hear about the preventative agenda. Could I just ask you generally what sort of outcomes you'd like to see coming…

General scrutiny session with the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care, the Deputy Minister for Public and Preventative Health and the Deputy Minister for Social Care, Mental Health and Women’s Health
Thank you. I think that's a really interesting response and I appreciate it, but, those 100 GPs, where are they now? Are they students? Are they working somewhere else? Are they on different contracts?
17 September 2026 , Health and Social Care Committee
General scrutiny session with the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care, the Deputy Minister for Public and Preventative Health and the Deputy Minister for Social Care, Mental Health and Women’s Health
Sorry, me again. The Government has committed to employing an additional 100 salaried GPs. In terms of that process, how does that look? Is it employing entirely new salaried GPs, or is it changing the locum contract? What's the process?

General scrutiny session with the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care, the Deputy Minister for Public and Preventative Health and the Deputy Minister for Social Care, Mental Health and Women’s Health
Just one brief question from me. I notice that you mentioned the summer there, and there's been huge pressure on the health service during the summer months. Do you believe that there'll be a need in future to have some kind of summer preparedness plan? I…

General scrutiny session with the Cabinet Minister for Health and Care, the Deputy Minister for Public and Preventative Health and the Deputy Minister for Social Care, Mental Health and Women’s Health
Thank you. I just wanted to note, of course, that the health service is full of targets, and the waiting time for treatment is the foremost of them. Of course, in cancer, there's that 62-day threshold before treatment. And I've had quite a few discussions…

Questions to the First Minister
Prif Weinidog, we can all see that the threats to national security are numerous, but it can't be right that Wales will be denied years of capital funding to cover the failure of consecutive UK Governments to give us an armed forces fit for the future. Once…
