Nurse Staffing Levels (Wales) Act 2016: post-legislative scrutiny: evidence session with Health Education and Improvement Wales
Yes. Thank you, Chair. I'm conscious of time, so I was just going to ask—. It would be really helpful if the plans, strategies and everything you were just describing could be shared with the committee. I would love to have a look through that, if that's…

Thank you, Chair. I'm just going to combine my last two questions. We, actually, did visit the University of South Wales Glyntaff training campus as a committee, and we did have a chance to talk with some of the students and ask them about how it was going…

I have to say that all sounds tremendous. My second question, which I can combine, actually, because you answered a lot of what I was going to ask—
, Health and Social Care Committee
Nurse Staffing Levels (Wales) Act 2016: post-legislative scrutiny: evidence session with Health Education and Improvement Wales
Thank you very much, Chair, and thank you all for being here today. So, I'm just going to look a little bit more at the nurse education and training. Some evidence we've received has described recent low fill rates on nursing degree programmes as extremely…

Okay. Just to tag it on, really, as we're limited on time, but just also an insight into what lessons were learnt from the process of extending section 25B to paediatric in-patient wards as well would be extremely helpful. Thank you.

Thank you very much. And just my last question—
, Health and Social Care Committee
Nurse Staffing Levels (Wales) Act 2016: post-legislative scrutiny: evidence session with the All Wales Nurse Staffing Programme
Thank you. We’ve received some evidence as well that describes a loss of central control in respect of the work streams, resulting in different-paced approaches across Wales, depending on each health board's priorities. From the research, though, from the…

Thank you. Does that mean that it's still the intention to extend the Act to these settings?

Nurse Staffing Levels (Wales) Act 2016: post-legislative scrutiny: evidence session with the All Wales Nurse Staffing Programme
Right. So, I'm going to ask some questions now about the programme work streams. So, each work stream is working towards developing and testing an evidence-based workforce planning tool specific to their area. Could you provide an update on progress in each…

Thank you very much. And, Chair, I believe Mabon would like to come in as well. Thank you.

Nurse Staffing Levels (Wales) Act 2016: post-legislative scrutiny: evidence session with nursing directors
Absolutely. If I could just ask, though—and thank you ever so much; all of that is extremely helpful and relevant—it would be helpful just to know to what extent, though, health boards are having to rely on agency and bank nurse staff to maintain those…

Thank you very much, Chair, and thank you all for being here today. I'm just going to ask some further questions, really, and dig down into the implementation challenges that you've faced. We have consistently heard that a shortage of nurses is the biggest…
, Plenary
Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you very much, Minister. As you said, the shortage has impacted as well, apparently, the UK particularly hard, especially with Elvanse. Takeda holds a near market monopoly in this sector, with no generic forms of this drug available on the market, hence…

Okay. My last question, then, really, because we've just touched on under-represented groups, but it's just to make the point, because a number of people have said this to me. There are people who just wouldn't want—. They would want to have it so that—. And…

Thank you very much and thank you again, both of you, for being here today. This is really, really helpful. I'm just going to ask a few more questions around e-prescribing. As you said, Professor Laing, and I agree with you, when people find out that there…
