Gynaecological cancers: Panel 6
That's wonderful to hear. Thank you very much. And finally, my question to Andy Glyde. HPV self-sampling is recognised as an opportunity to make cervical cancer screening more accessible, and increase the uptake of the test. Work around HPV self-sampling has…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 6
Thank you. That moves on quite nicely then to my next question. Public Health Wales refer in their written evidence to research that’s under way to develop and implement an algorithm that would make symptom attribution in ovarian cancer more accurate. So…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 6
That's wonderful to hear. Thank you for being here today. I'm actually going to come to you first, Sadie, if that's okay. I'm going to ask some questions now about improved diagnosis. In your opinion, how is the enhanced diagnosis work led by the Wales Cancer…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 5 - Public Health Wales
I think you're right. I think it churned up an awful lot of anxiety and misunderstanding in gynaecology for a lot of us, really, and you've touched on that already. So, I think that's why we decided it was so important to do this inquiry, and that's why it's…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 5 - Public Health Wales
Thank you very much. And then finally, in January 2022, there was an adverse reaction to Public Health Wales's announced changes to the cervical screening programme, when it introduced HPV testing and increased the time period between tests from three to five…

Thank you. As time is critical today, would you be able to follow up in writing for us about the discussions and priority timescales for disaggregating the data by ethnicity?

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 5 - Public Health Wales
Thank you. That's a very comprehensive answer. As you said, we all want to start seeing those numbers come down. You've touched on this, and my colleague Gareth Davies also touched on this in terms of messaging, but, as we know, it has been reported that…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 5 - Public Health Wales
Thank you, Chair. Thank you for being here this morning. I'm going to ask some more questions about cervical cancer screening. The overall aim of cervical screening in Wales is to reduce the incidence of mortality from cervical cancer in Wales. Can you tell…

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 5
Absolutely. Thank you very much. And just to add as well, because I know that there are people at home today who will be watching this who have been victims, and we are obviously primarily focusing today on the perpetrator and bystander interventions. But I…

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 5
Thank you very much. And my second and last question is to—. You explained that good bystander interventions are designed to increase the ability, then, of bystanders to make safe and effective interventions, and also function to change those attitudes and…

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 5
Thank you very much. I'm going to ask some more questions about bystander interventions, which is what I was asking earlier on about what we mean when we say that. I was going to also mention that you talked about the World Health Organization 'RESPECT Women'…

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 5
Of course, of course. I suppose I'm not—. I completely understand what 'bystander' means. I suppose in this context, the terminology—. If we're all bystanders and we're asking people not to be them, wouldn't it better to say, 'Don't be a bystander, be an…
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 5
Okay. So, just to finish, basically, do we want to be a bystander, or an active bystander? And I don't know how you'd be an active bystander, because you're no longer bystanding. And I suppose, has this word been deliberately used so that people don't feel…
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 5
Because we're all—. Right, okay. [Laughter.] Is it the opposite of a—? No, that's good. Is the opposite of a perpetrator a bystander?

The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 5
Thank you, Chair. I really appreciate it, and thank you both for being here today, because you've both already used the phrase 'bystander intervention', and in your written evidence, and in everything that is out there, and I'm just going to ask a question…

Yes. Thank you. Thank you very much. I'm good now, thank you, Chair.
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
The public health approach to preventing gender-based violence: evidence session 4
Thank you, and that brings me on nicely to my final question, which is that, as you both said, role models can play huge part in this. Off the top of my head, I can think of men, role models, famous people who have talked to me about mental health, who have…
