That’s really helpful. Thank you very much. Also just to say, I don’t know if it’s just me, but I can’t hear—. Your microphone seems to be cutting in and out, Matthew. I did catch all of that, but there seems to be an issue with your microphone.

Thank you very much, Chair. Thank you, all, for being here today. I was a researcher myself at Cardiff University before I got elected. I used to be given blocks of 150 hours, you know, on fixed-term contracts and things. And the work that many of us were…

Debate on the Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee Report—'Annual report on the National Infrastructure Commission for Wales—2022-23'
I'd like to start by saying I welcome this annual report on the National Infrastructure Commission for Wales. It's been around one year, as you said, Llyr, since Dr David Clubb took over as the Chair, and it is clear that a lot has already been achieved. I…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 4
—and so it's putting it on the patient. I'll ask my final question, then. So, Dr Ali, you mentioned this earlier on: you said that it is more than just the knowledge. So, do you think GPs, then, are clinically curious enough when it comes to gynaecological…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 4
Yes, I understand, but can you understand that, from the evidence that we're hearing, the patients are doing exactly what you're saying—they are trying to reach out, they are trying to empower themselves, they are trying to do all the things that you're…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 4
Thank you. We heard from one patient that, 'I was made to feel like I was being neurotic, and I was met with indifference at every phone call and appointment.' So, as you said, women should call back and they should update you, but we're hearing that that's…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 4
Thank you very much. Dr Ali, did you want to comment on whether or not you think that there is potentially a gender bias that is happening here that is impacting the care that women receive?
10 May 2023 , Health and Social Care Committee
Gynaecological cancers: Panel 4
Thank you very much, and thank you, both, for being here today. To follow on from what you were just saying, we've heard through our evidence that women with gynaecological cancer symptoms can have their symptoms dismissed or ignored by healthcare…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 3
That's true. Thank you.
10 May 2023 , Health and Social Care Committee
Gynaecological cancers: Panel 3
Absolutely. That follows on nicely, actually, to my follow-up question, which is: how, then, do we empower all women, including those who aren't able to advocate or used to advocating for themselves, to ask for a second opinion if they aren't happy with the…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 3
Thank you very much, Chair. Thank you, Judith, and thank you all for being here today. Just to follow on, then, I want to ask what action you think is needed to address the gender biases held by some healthcare professionals that female health complaints…

Questions to the First Minister
Diolch, First Minister. Last week, we saw the local elections take place just across the border in England, and whilst I'm sure that the whole Chamber is pleased to see democracy in action, it has been described by Unlock Democracy as a 'dark day for British…

Thank you very much. My last question is that the WLGA has highlighted the uncertainty that organisations face about what will happen to the shared prosperity fund after March 2025. So, can you tell us about the impact this is having on your organisations and…

Post-EU regional development funding: Local Authorities
Thank you, Chair, and thank you all for being here this morning. I just wanted to expand a little bit on what you've already touched on about the timescales and how this impacted delivery. So, you've already shared, I think, how it impacted, like plans to…

Post-EU regional development funding: Academics and think tanks
Absolutely. Thank you very much. So, we've looked at the operational, which is one aspect, which has been challenging with the timescales, and we've also heard about how it can hinder the ability to deliver those transformative projects, and Joe, in IWA…
