Questions to the First Minister
—to support those who leave care after their eighteenth birthday. All of these things—we've done so much in five years. So, what steps do you believe that the Welsh Government should be taking to support those who need us in the future as well? Diolch.

Questions to the First Minister
Thank you very much, First Minister. Like many of my colleagues have done today, I'd like to take a couple of steps back to bring into focus what the Welsh Government has done over the last five years, particularly for young people and children across Wales…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society
To be honest, you've started to answer my second question, because I agree with you, I have many community pharmacies in my own community and everything you've said I agree with, but I'm concerned that there's a danger that we're going to lose them. So…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society
Thank you very much, Chair, and thank you, both, for being here today. I'm just going to ask a couple of questions now specifically about inequalities. To begin with, people living in disadvantaged areas are more likely to experience multiple chronic…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with The British Geriatrics Society, Diabetes UK Cymru and The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health
I did. Thank you, Chair. I just wanted to note that I made a mistake earlier on when I was questioning—I didn't refer to Dr Leopold by her professional title, I'd noted it down wrong, and I wanted to rectify that and apologise.

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with The British Geriatrics Society, Diabetes UK Cymru and The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health
Of course. I just wanted to say, as well, thank you, Mathew, earlier on for talking about the eating disorders that people with diabetes are particularly susceptible to. During Eating Disorder Awareness Week, we learned a lot about type 1 diabetes and eating…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with The British Geriatrics Society, Diabetes UK Cymru and The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health
Thank you so much, Nicky. Mental Health Matters have a dementia hub opposite my office in Bridgend, as well, and that's been hugely beneficial to the whole community. Chair, I had just one more question that I wanted to put to Mathew, if that's okay.

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with The British Geriatrics Society, Diabetes UK Cymru and The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health
That's excellent. Thank you very much. Nicky, if I can come to you next, the British Geriatrics Society's written evidence describes mental health services for older people in Wales as being currently in crisis. Can you expand on this issue and what you think…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with The British Geriatrics Society, Diabetes UK Cymru and The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health
It does. That's really insightful, thank you. Just one more question, then: do you think that the Welsh Government's draft mental health and well-being strategy sufficiently addresses the needs of children and young people and everything that you've just…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with The British Geriatrics Society, Diabetes UK Cymru and The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health
Thank you very much, Chair. Thank you all for being here this morning. We've heard throughout this inquiry the need for mental health support for people with chronic conditions. So, as the Chair mentioned, I've got questions here that are specifically for…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with ADSS Cymru and BASW Cymru
No, that was it, but I do really appreciate it, and you will get to, I think, touch on a lot of the things that I've already raised as well throughout the questions coming. Thank you very much.

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with ADSS Cymru and BASW Cymru
Thank you very much. Fôn or Jacqueline.

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with ADSS Cymru and BASW Cymru
Thank you. Before I ask Fôn and Jacqueline to come in on that about the kinds of challenges and how to overcome them, can I also just add on and get your thoughts on whether you think regional partnership boards and the health and social care regional…

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with ADSS Cymru and BASW Cymru
Thank you so much, Sarah, for sharing your lived experience, because it is always very, very helpful and powerful. You touched a little bit on my next question, which was going to be looking at the key challenges that exist in creating a care system that does…
14 March 2024 , Health and Social Care Committee
Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with ADSS Cymru and BASW Cymru
Good morning, everyone. Thank you for being here today with us. I'm going to start off, as is appropriate, I think, by asking some questions about person-centered care. To begin with, the committee has heard that holistic care with different services wrapped…

Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill: Evidence session with the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
Okay. Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you, Chair.

Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill: Evidence session with the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
Fantastic. And it's our understanding that the engagement was convened by the Electoral Commission rather than the Welsh Government. Is that correct, and is there a reason for that?
13 March 2024 , Reform Bill Committee
Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill: Evidence session with the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
Thank you very much. And could you just give us a bit more detail, though, on the engagement that you had with the Electoral Commission, and what was discussed with the political party representatives and how this formed the development of the Bill as well…
13 March 2024 , Reform Bill Committee
Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill: Evidence session with the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
Thank you very much, Chair. I have a few questions on consultation. The Bill's explanatory memorandum states that given the tight timetable it means the Welsh Government has not been able to undertake its own public consultation on the general concepts, and…
13 March 2024 , Reform Bill Committee
Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill: Evidence session with the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
Thank you. And I think this is something that we will be looking into, and hopefully we will be able to give some feedback, then, from the people we gather evidence from about this. So, thank you very much. Thank you, Chair.
13 March 2024 , Reform Bill Committee
Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill: Evidence session with the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
Thank you very much. I think, based on the evidence—what's already in there—it's safe to say, though, isn't it, that if somebody has declared themselves a woman, then it would be very obvious from the order of that what will happen? So, I suppose my other…

Senedd Cymru (Electoral Candidate Lists) Bill: Evidence session with the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
Thank you very much. Thank you for being here this morning, Minister. We have already touched on how, potentially, the data that people are providing is going to be sensitive—not for all, as you said; for some, it'll be quite straightforward, I imagine, but…
