Women's experiences in the criminal justice system—evidence session 1
Just to highlight from the written evidence, it is very alarming that the imprisonment of a household member has been linked now—so, there's a link between parental imprisonment and premature death for the child, which I think is incredibly alarming. Just to…

Women's experiences in the criminal justice system—evidence session 1
Absolutely. Thank you very much. Emily or Anne, would you like to come in on this?

Women's experiences in the criminal justice system—evidence session 1
Thank you, Chair. I'd like to ask some questions about support for pregnant women and those who have babies whilst they're in prison. From the written evidence, we can see that 600 pregnant women on average are held in prison each year, and although that…

That's okay. That's fine. Jane. You're muted, still.

Women's experiences in the criminal justice system—evidence session 1
That would be wonderful. Thank you very much. Is anybody else aware of the support that women are getting in England if they've been sent from Wales? No. Okay.

Women's experiences in the criminal justice system—evidence session 1
Thank you. Sorry, Chair, I just want to ask another question related to the previous part because, again, as I said, we went through this when they were proposed in Bridgend, and the concern of the local authority with it, and I imagine this is similar for…

Women's experiences in the criminal justice system—evidence session 1
Just on this. Obviously, I represent Bridgend, and some residential centres were initially proposed to be in Porthcawl and in Bridgend, and these were very much the questions that I asked at the time. So, they'd even got to a point, I feel—the UK…

Yes, if I could, Chair. Sorry.

Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
Thank you very much. It's more just to understand, I suppose, the decision process, but I really appreciate you being so—like we've said—honest about the challenges, and very pragmatic as well. Thank you.
19 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
Thank you. And you've answered my next question, but my last question, then, is: we've also taken evidence about children having access to orthodontic care, so if they're being surveyed at 12, sometimes, and then not again until they're 18, is there anything…
19 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
Thank you. Just some really quick questions. Do you know when the last time a survey was done of looked-after children in Wales?

Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
Thank you very much. Thank you, Chair.
19 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
Thank you very much. Just my final question, then: it's also been suggested to the committee that extending the use of fluoride varnish as a preventative dental care initiative could be extended to care homes, so what are your thoughts on this?
19 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
Yes, of course. So, then, moving on, the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health has suggested that the Welsh Government should resource and support the fluoridation of public water supplies, particularly for areas where there is a high prevalence of…
19 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
But just to clarify here, we've got a survey at 12, and we've got information from 18 to 25. So, the 12 to 18 age group, though, there isn't really any information from them.
19 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
So—. Sorry. You said there that—. The information that you just gave us, the statistics at 18 to 25, do we have any of those for 12 to 21? I suppose what we're trying to identify is is there actually a gap there, then. Has any research or consultation been…
19 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
Thank you, that's very helpful. And looking at another cohort then of people, do you think that there is sufficient understanding of the oral health needs of people aged 12 to 21 in Wales?
19 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
Thank you, Chair. Thank you for being here today. You've touched on this in some of your previous answers, but I'd just like to drill down a little bit more into the oral health of children and older people. So, Designed to Smile aims to improve the oral…

Dentistry - evidence session with Community Dental Services and Welsh Committee of Community Dentists
No, I don't. Thank you very much, Chair. Thank you, everyone.

Dentistry - evidence session with Community Dental Services and Welsh Committee of Community Dentists
Thank you, Chair. Thank you, all, for being here today. I'm just going to ask a question about prevention initiatives, and it has been suggested to the committee that one of these could be that the Welsh Government should resource and support fluoridation of…

Gender-based violence and abuse: evidence session with national advisers for violence against women, gender-based violence, domestic abuse and sexual violence
Thank you. I know, Chair, that we need to get on to the other questions, and I think you touched on some of the areas that you’ll be asked a little bit more about later on. But before we move on, I did just want to ask you, in your role and from the…

Gender-based violence and abuse: evidence session with national advisers for violence against women, gender-based violence, domestic abuse and sexual violence
In terms of the data sets around this, are there any algorithms involved in this? Is there any machine decision making, or is it all seen by people and decisions made by people?
