2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake Rates ( 9 Jun 2021)

Buffy Williams: Thank you, Minister. In my constituency, Rhondda, the majority of residents are attending their vaccine appointments, which is amazing news, but we have a higher than average number of no-shows, for a variety of reasons. I know Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board are working with residents across our communities to delve into these reasons, trying to find them solutions. So, working...

1. Questions to the Minister for Climate Change: The 2020 Floods (16 Jun 2021)

Buffy Williams: I'd also like to congratulate both Ministers on their new appointments. Minister, the NRW report following the floods of 2020 matters a great deal to the Rhondda residents, in particular, residents of Pentre, where 169 homes and 12 businesses flooded internally. The NRW duty manager at the time said, on record, and I quote: 'From the photographs and pictures available it is evident that...

5. Statement by the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language: Qualifications in 2021 (22 Jun 2021)

But having met with teachers in Rhondda, the new system has put tremendous strain on the profession. How will the Minister support teachers through the next academic year? Also, what support will be made available for students who do not receive the grades they were expecting?

1. Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government: The Financial Effect of COVID-19 on Local Authorities (23 Jun 2021)

Buffy Williams: Thank you, Minister. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank local council workers for going above and beyond during the pandemic. Rhondda Cynon Taf's budget hasn't only been hit by the costs of COVID—we also have a bill of £12 million for the landslide remedial works in Tylorstown, and let's not forget millions to enhance culverts and drainage systems following the dreadful floods. Our...

2. Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd: Improving Animal Welfare (23 Jun 2021)

Buffy Williams: I'm sure I'm not the only Member with four-legged friends. I have a Jack Russell named Poppy and a cat named Binx. I couldn't imagine my life without them. They're not just pets, they're part of the family. That isn't to say they always behave, and, as difficult as they can be at times, I would be horrified if they were ever harmed or stolen. In my Rhondda constituency, we've sadly seen a...

I know how difficult it's been for commuters and Transport for Wales staff with reduced services and the need to keep a social distance. I left the meeting feeling optimistic. There are plans to increase the number of carriages and services from September. So, last weekend, I was really...

5. Statement by the Minister for Economy: Young Person’s Guarantee (29 Jun 2021)

Buffy Williams: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Minister, having worked and volunteered in education and communities for the last 20 years, I have always said that if you give young people a chance, either through employment or volunteering, it's amazing what they can achieve. I was proud to stand on a manifesto that included a young person's guarantee, either of work, education, training or...

6. Statement by the Deputy Minister for Social Partnership: Advancing LGBTQ+ Equality in Wales (29 Jun 2021)

Buffy Williams: I welcome the statement from the Deputy Minister today. Some of my best memories come from Pride events in Wales. A Pride co-ordinator and specific Pride fund will only enhance the celebrations. I cannot believe conversion therapy is still being discussed. I absolutely support today's promise to ban all aspects of conversion therapy in Wales.  I recently attended the official opening of...
