Darren Millar: Will the First Minister make a statement on any action the Welsh Government is taking to tackle ageism?
Darren Millar: Minister, I'm very grateful for the response that you've just given, but will you recognise the tremendous role of the faith communities across Wales, which are working very closely, often, with schools to eliminate poverty amongst the families that they serve? There was an excellent event that was sponsored just yesterday by Huw Irranca-Davies with the Catholic Education Service, and I was...
Darren Millar: We were assured that there was going to be a significant pace of change and improvement in mental health services in north Wales as a result of the Tawel Fan scandal, but, of course, we're approaching the four-year mark in terms of the date when the health board was actually put into special measures. And it's certainly beyond the four-year mark in terms of the date by which the initial...
Darren Millar: What engagement does the Welsh Government have with Welsh universities regarding the courses they offer to students?
Darren Millar: Thank you, Minister, for your statement and for the advance copy that you provided to my office. Clearly, there has been progress in some areas, and I’m very pleased to see that, because, my goodness, we needed some progress on this very important matter. Because, as you quite rightly said, whilst performance against the four-hour target has improved at some hospital sites, at others it is...
Darren Millar: Will the First Minister make a statement on the Welsh Government’s plans to improve support for veterans?
Darren Millar: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Minister, can you tell us whether the Welsh Labour-led Government wants a second referendum on the UK's membership of the EU or not?
Darren Millar: Is it?
Darren Millar: I note your comments.
Darren Millar: I'm sorry; I can't hear.
Darren Millar: I'm sorry, I can't hear you. I did try these earlier.
Darren Millar: I was trying it earlier; I couldn't hear.
Darren Millar: I couldn't hear the answer to the first one.
Darren Millar: I listened to what you said. I'm still not clear on whether you want a referendum or not. We voted in this Chamber just a couple of weeks ago, and the Welsh Government seemed to support preparations for a second referendum, but it didn't expressly indicate whether there was support for a referendum or not. And I think the situation is such that you should be changing your Labour Party website...
Darren Millar: The reality is, of course, that the Labour leadership in Westminster wants out of the EU. Footage was revealed in the last few days of Jeremy Corbyn back in 2010, calling for the EU to be, and I quote, 'defeated', accusing it and the IMF of being, and I quote, 'utterly united in deflation, suppressing the economy and creating unemployment'. And, of course, in a book, which is currently being...
Darren Millar: Diolch, Llywydd. First Minister, back in 2017, my party put forward some very clear proposals for free bus travel, not generous bus travel in the way that you're proposing, which is just a discount, but a much more generous scheme to enable those between 16 and 24 to travel free of charge on the bus network. You at that time described it as 'fantasy, fag-packet economics', but the reality is,...
Darren Millar: Minister, can you tell me what support you're giving to faith communities to support their voluntary sector engagements? You'll be aware that there was a piece of research that was completed last year into the impact of Wales's pentecostal denominations—the three main pentecostal denominations the Assemblies of God, Elim and the Apostolic Church—and that research found that there are over...
Darren Millar: Trefnydd, can I call for two statements, please? The first is from the Minister for Health and Social Services in relation to the delivery of the diabetes delivery plan in north Wales. I received a copy of an e-mail today from Dai Williams, the national director of Diabetes UK Cymru, which was sent to Gary Doherty, the chief executive of the health board in north Wales. According to that...
Darren Millar: Can I thank you, Minister, for an advanced copy of your statement this afternoon? I'm very pleased to see that cash is being invested in transforming our health services here in Wales. We know that we are behind, in some respects, some other parts of the UK in terms of taking forward particularly closer working between health and social care. But it is encouraging that we're finally investing...
Darren Millar: Will the First Minister make a statement on the performance of public services in Wales?
