Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery
What reminded me of this, of course, was the recent Mental Health Review Tribunal for Wales (Membership) Bill. This reminded me that the majority of members of the Welsh tribunals do not take an oath. In truth, only one person has to take an oath, and that's…

Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery

Updates to previous petitions
Diolch yn fawr, Gadeirydd. Yes, another health petition; we're no strangers to health petitions in this committee. Following on nicely from the last one, this is the second time we've considered this and, on the last occasion, we decided to keep the petition…

I think we probably should close it due to the limited time left in this Senedd, but I see no issue with the questions. We had a response back from the Welsh Local Government Association, the Cabinet Secretary and the Wales Pension Partnership. Following…

Diolch yn fawr, Gadeirydd. I'm sure most Members are aware of the background to this and the protests that have happened. As the Cabinet Secretary highlighted, this involves a largely reserved matter, which is beyond the scope of the power of the Welsh…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Hospices

Finance Committee Debate: 'Post-legislative review of the Public Services Ombudsman (Wales) Act 2019'
