8. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Major events ( 5 Oct 2022)

James Evans: Having that regular event coming back and forth to Wales is fantastic. I would like to see more major darts events in Wales, because I think it's very, very important that we highlight that. But golf is probably my No. 1 love in life, I would think—[Interruption.] No, I won't tell my girlfriend. [Laughter.] I spend much of my time on the golf course, and she isn't very happy about that...

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Acute Emergency Care (12 Oct 2022)

James Evans: 2. What is the Welsh Government doing to enhance acute emergency care in hospitals in Brecon and Radnorshire? OQ58529

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Acute Emergency Care (12 Oct 2022)

James Evans: Thank you, Minister. Emergency treatment for acute conditions such as stroke or cardiac arrest is more difficult for those people who live in my constituency in rural areas. With stroke and cardiac events it's the minutes and seconds that make the difference between living and dying, and if you do survive, the time of intervention has a direct result on your recovery. In my constituency...

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (12 Oct 2022)

James Evans: Diolch, Llywydd. Deputy Minister, do you think people who present with a mental health problem should be guaranteed mental health assessment within a month? 

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (12 Oct 2022)

James Evans: Thank you for that answer, Deputy Minister. Your own UK Labour leader, Keir Starmer, said that a UK Labour Government would guarantee mental health treatment within a month, but your child and adolescent mental health services statistics show that the Government here in Wales is failing. Only 50 per cent of children who are using mental health services get their assessment within a month. In...

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (12 Oct 2022)

James Evans: It's interesting that it also shows that the Labour leader in the UK doesn't believe that the Welsh Government have got any ambition when it comes to health services. That's probably why he's setting his own targets, because he doesn't want to base himself on the failings here. The figures are quite clear that there is a mental health crisis with our children, which is made worse by the...

5. Debate on the Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee Report: Review of the Water Resources (Control of Agricultural Pollution) (Wales) Regulations 2021 (12 Oct 2022)

James Evans: Can I start by commending the committee for a fabulous report? But it is a shame that we ever got to having to have this report. I've just listened to Jane Dodds from the Liberal Democrats preach how bad this is for farmers, but if her party had stepped up in the last term of the Senedd and supported farmers, like Plaid Cymru and us on the Conservative benches did, we would never, ever be in...

QNR: Questions to the First Minister (18 Oct 2022)

James Evans: What is the First Minister doing to help businesses through the cost-of-living crisis?

1. Questions to the Minister for Climate Change: National Parks (19 Oct 2022)

James Evans: 1. What plans does the Minister have to make national parks more accountable to local people? OQ58580

1. Questions to the Minister for Climate Change: National Parks (19 Oct 2022)

James Evans: Diolch, Minister. In our national parks, it is vital that local people feel that they are part of the decision-making process, and that the national parks actually stand up for them and that they have representation from that area. The Welsh Government appoints a number of people to national parks, but, unfortunately, some of those people aren't even from Wales. So, what I would like to see...

8. Debate on Petition P-06-1294, 'Don't leave metastatic breast cancer patients in Wales behind' (19 Oct 2022)

James Evans: Thank you. Would you agree with me that actually the true heroes in our society don't wear capes, they are people like the petitioner, who put these petitions forward to really raise issues like this on a national stage? And do you agree with me there should be more opportunity for issues like this to be debated in the Senedd so everyone across Wales, like the petitioner, can raise these...

9. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Business rates (19 Oct 2022)

James Evans: Let's be under no illusions, business is the backbone of our economy—from the small business owner on the high street to the larger companies that employ hundreds and thousands of people across the nation. The most prosperous countries in the world are where businesses can thrive, and a key part of that success is less red tape and less tax imposed on those businesses. In Wales, we have the...

2. Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs, North Wales and Trefnydd: The Sustainable Farming Scheme (26 Oct 2022)

James Evans: 3. How will the new sustainable farming scheme benefit young tenant farmers in Brecon and Radnorshire? OQ58614

2. Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs, North Wales and Trefnydd: The Sustainable Farming Scheme (26 Oct 2022)

James Evans: Thank you for that, Minister. Many young tenant farmers in my constituency believe that the proposals as currently drafted within the sustainable farming scheme are still very much leaned towards land ownership. Tenants, usually young farming families on the first rung of the farming ladder, have to deal with different types of landlords, from the local farmer who's retired, up to the big...

8. Debate on the Children, Young People and Education Committee’s Report — 'Everybody’s affected: Peer on peer sexual harassment among learners' (26 Oct 2022)

James Evans: I'd also like to pay tribute to my colleague Jayne Bryant for her excellent chairing of the committee, which I sit on. I just wanted to raise the point that you talk about males who also suffer from sexual harassment. I'm sure you'd agree with me, and others who sit on that committee, that nobody should be afraid to come forward if they are suffering sexual harassment, especially young men...

9. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Stroke (26 Oct 2022)

James Evans: My constituents have a challenging relationship with stroke services, unlike those in many other parts of Wales, due to us not having a district general hospital in Powys. The rural nature of Brecon and Radnorshire and the lack of stroke service provision makes treatment more difficult for my constituents, and many of them have to travel across the border into Herefordshire and Worcestershire...

9. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Stroke (26 Oct 2022)

James Evans: I didn't say we needed a district general hospital in Powys; I'd like to see one, but I recognise the challenges of doing that. What I would like to see is actually more of those services being delivered, like a stroke care centre, in our little cottage hospitals or in our minor injury units, so actually we can have those services closer to home so people don't have to travel over 40 minutes...

11. Short Debate: Funding Wales's future: Investing in universities to drive economic growth (26 Oct 2022)

James Evans: I’d like to thank Tom Giffard for giving me a minute of his time two minutes before this debate was about to start. [Laughter.] Research funding is vital to solving some of the major problems we do have in the world, and, as colleagues in this Chamber sat through the recent Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Bill, it was evident through evidence taking that there was a focus from the...
