Questions to the First Minister
Once again, I'm supporting a constituent from Arfon who has suffered terribly because of fundamental and very serious errors by the vascular unit at Glan Clwyd Hospital. I've consistently argued that the health board has destroyed a high-quality unit in…

Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Wales Air Ambulance bases reorganisation
Many constituents have contacted me on this issue, and the strong feeling is that the north-west is in danger of being excluded from a very important service once again. I know how much the service means to local people, the lives that have been saved and the…

Questions to the Minister for Climate Change
As you'll know, the problems experienced by some of my constituents with energy efficiency measures under the Arbed 2 scheme still haven't been resolved. I am grateful that your officials are dealing with cases relating to two specific contractors, and it…

Well done, and it's good to see this scheme developing. But I would like to know if any further work is ongoing to ensure that the necessary percentage of prospective students who have skills in the Welsh language will attend the medical school. A new scheme…

Questions to the First Minister
As we are about to discuss the draft budget for the next year, it's good to remember that establishing a medical school in Bangor emanated from a budget agreement between Plaid Cymru and your Government several years ago now, long before the co-operation…

Senedd Reform
Can I just say that I do sympathise with the views expressed here, but I feel that Standing Orders are the place for that discussion, and it shouldn't be on the face of the Bill, because the whole situation is so complex, and that it's better to leave some…

Senedd Reform
That's the point, things have moved on from that discussion. I was part of that debate and argued for having a monolingual Welsh name. Ultimately, there was no appetite in the Senedd for that. I would suspect that the situation may have changed and that…

Senedd Reform
I have no particular view on that, but I do understand Jane's point on the use of 'Speaker'; it does take us back to a different culture in Westminster and so on.
, Business Committee
Senedd Reform
There was great discussion on that point at the time, and that was the compromised reached. I think that we may have made progress since those days when we had that debate, and perhaps today, the word 'Senedd' would have been used—'Senedd Cymru' would have…

Senedd Reform
On this issue, as you might imagine, my view is that we should use the terms 'Llywydd' and 'Diprwy Lywydd', and those titles alone, just as the term 'Senedd' is now accepted across the board, including the London media—they refer to the 'Senedd' when they…
, Business Committee
Senedd Reform
Well, in order to guarantee that we can function, that the Senedd can function with a Government of a particular size, and scrutiny of a particular size. The powers that we have as a Senedd have increased considerably, and as Lesley was saying, there's the…

Senedd Reform
No, not quite. There should be a range, but we need to explore the minimum figure. So, there should be a stipulation—. Whatever it is, whatever the minimum is, we need to discuss that.
, Business Committee
Senedd Reform
Yes, I accept that. The ratio is the same.
, Business Committee
Senedd Reform
Not with 19. It's the status quo.
, Business Committee
Senedd Reform
But we're not increasing it.
, Business Committee
Senedd Reform
It's still a smaller figure. That figure of 19—. Some could argue that that should be higher, but keeping it at 19 but then ensuring that things don't slip below where they are at present—. Surely we wouldn't want to see it go down.
