Gender-based violence and abuse: evidence session with national advisers for violence against women, gender-based violence, domestic abuse and sexual violence
Excellent. Thank you so much. You did touch then upon the data and how that can help. So, how are you influencing the development of a core data set in relation to domestic abuse and sexual violence, and what data do you think would actually help to monitor…

Gender-based violence and abuse: evidence session with national advisers for violence against women, gender-based violence, domestic abuse and sexual violence
Thank you, Chair, and thank you, both. I'd just like to ask some questions about the role of the national advisers. Yasmin, this is primarily for you, as you've been reappointed to the role. How are you evaluating the effectiveness of a national adviser role?…

Dentistry - evidence session with Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, Age Cymru and Older People's Commissioner for Wales
I was just going to end by saying that, obviously, we heard from the panel beforehand about prevention, and you've all touched on this as well. Do you think there's enough emphasis on it, or do you think there is something else that can be done to help with…

Dentistry - evidence session with Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, Age Cymru and Older People's Commissioner for Wales
Thank you. David, what impact is this having on children whilst they wait, in your opinion?
13 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, Age Cymru and Older People's Commissioner for Wales
Thank you very much. Heléna and David, do you have examples as well of what impact this is having on people whilst they're waiting?
13 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, Age Cymru and Older People's Commissioner for Wales
Of course. And Helen, are you aware of any data pointing towards the oral health of older people? And also just to add on, I suppose, and to all of you, what is the impact of this when people are waiting on these waiting lists?

Dentistry - evidence session with Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, Age Cymru and Older People's Commissioner for Wales
Yes, thank you very much. Heléna, would you like to come in?
13 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, Age Cymru and Older People's Commissioner for Wales
Thank you, Chair. Thank you, all, for being here today. So, we've looked at access to dental services, and you've all touched on it slightly here, but to look specifically now at oral health: is there a level of data available on the actual oral health of…

Dentistry - evidence session with British Dental Association Wales and British Orthodontic Society
I was just going to ask, just to everybody, really—I think, Ben, you touched on this—to what extent are there currently inequalities in access to dentistry and orthodontics, and who do you think is most likely to be affected, then, by the current problems?…
13 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with British Dental Association Wales and British Orthodontic Society
Yes. Thank you, Ben. I just wanted to just as well come back to what you said, Yvonne, because, obviously, we have quite a good comparison there with the data that's available. So, you said that Cardiff and South Wales West do it differently. Do you have an…

Dentistry - evidence session with British Dental Association Wales and British Orthodontic Society
Yes. Ben, did you want to come back in?

Thank you very much. Yvonne, did you want to come in as well?
13 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with British Dental Association Wales and British Orthodontic Society
Thank you. And then to Ben and Yvonne, on the information available on orthodontic capacity and the number waiting for services across Wales, and the length of the wait, what is available and is it a similar situation?
13 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with British Dental Association Wales and British Orthodontic Society
Absolutely, Russell. Yes, of course.
13 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with British Dental Association Wales and British Orthodontic Society
For you, I suppose. For dental practices, what do you see as being the outcome of this? What kind of effect does that have?
13 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with British Dental Association Wales and British Orthodontic Society
What's the knock-on effect of this?
13 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with British Dental Association Wales and British Orthodontic Society
Thank you, Chair. Thank you, all, for being here today. You've all already, I suppose, referred to some of the statistics and data that are available on this, and it does help—it's what we need, really, to get a picture of what is happening across Wales. But…

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence Session 2
Thank you very much. Thank you, Chair.
12 October 2022 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence Session 2
And do you think that there should be a provision in the Bill for that?
12 October 2022 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence Session 2
Thank you. And, in your view, could the effect of the revisions allow changes to marketing standards or carcass classifications in Wales to be impacted by the United Kingdom Internal Market Act 2020, as you've just mentioned?
12 October 2022 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence Session 2
Okay. Why do you think they're focusing particularly on this, then? Why do you think they're focusing specifically on this?
12 October 2022 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence Session 2
Thank you. Thank you very much. Moving on to the next section, then, which is about marketing standards and carcass classification, are the powers around marketing standards and carcass classification appropriate, in your opinions?
12 October 2022 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence Session 2
Okay, thank you.
12 October 2022 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Evidence Session 2
Wonderful, thank you. I just wanted then to—. Of course, coming on to the enforcement provisions, there could be monetary enforcement provisions if farmers decide that they don’t want to give it for whatever reason, or if they give it inaccurately; so have…
