Vaughan Gething: ...the association between occupation and the risk of exposure and harm from COVID-19, and there are specific risk factors for a greater risk of serious harm, and they include older age, an over-representation of certain underlying health conditions in some jobs, socioeconomic deprivation, household size and an inability to work from home. Occupational risk associated with poorer outcomes...
Rebecca Evans: ...at the moment that the percentage of Welsh procurement spend is around 52 per cent. Well, that's the figure that we're able to publicly share. However, we don't consider that to be an accurate representation of the amount of procurement spend that goes into Welsh companies. Obviously, there are a number of reasons for that, one of which being it's based on the postcode of the invoice...
Rebecca Evans: ..., undertaking their own area population assessments to enable them to plan tailor-made solutions based on firm evidence of what the people in that region want and need. As well as multi-agency representation, the citizen voice is increasingly present in the decision-making process, ensuring solutions are being co-produced with input from all of those involved. The population assessments...
Vaughan Gething: ...principles and minimum standards, and again is supported by £1 million of additional funding. That framework has been overseen by the national bereavement steering group, which has both hospice representation and children and young people's bereavement charities included within its membership. Finally, I do want to pay tribute to the vital role of all of our hospice staff, both for adults...
Mark Drakeford: ...reached agreement with the UK Government on a funding mechanism that will reflect the relative needs of our population. The reform of the Barnett formula represents the culmination of many years of representations by successive Welsh Governments. I pay particular tribute to the work of my predecessor, Jane Hutt, who achieved a major breakthrough in securing the first ever agreement to a...
Ken Skates: ...to legislate for the stand-alone customs, VAT and excise regimes that the UK will need once it leaves the EU, and also detail on the contingency planning in the event of a ‘no deal’. The strong representations we and industry have made in respect of frictionless trade I think have been heard, but how that will work in practice remains unclear, especially in the event of ‘no deal’,...
John Griffiths: ...home of their own on their own parcel of land. We heard of a myriad of barriers and legal obstacles to the granting of planning permission. Many families, in fact, go to great expense to hire legal representation and planning specialists to help them navigate a complicated system, too often without success. We were pleased to hear, then, that Welsh Government has committed to commission a...
Kirsty Williams: ...research, innovation, and enterprise activities in universities, colleges and with other providers. Deputy Presiding Officer, I’m pleased with the progress that has been made in embedding student representation into the governance structures of institutions in Wales. But there is still more to do. I would expect to see students’ involvement, both in the commission and at individual...
Julie James: ...on the case study that they included, however. Very respectfully, Huw, I'm very sorry to say that we just don't agree that the legislation and justice committee's case study is an accurate representation of the position. Our position is very much that the provisions of the Bill are within competence, are fully effective and enforceable. So, that includes the provisions that make it an...
Lee Waters: ...for additional licensing, the local authority must engage with the local community. They must take reasonable steps to consult everyone who's likely to be affected by this change and consider any representations. Where that is not happening, I'd be grateful for the Member to bring it to our attention. A disproportionately large number of HMOs can bring changes and challenges to a...
Kirsty Williams: ...also have a UK-wide responsibility on international and research funding matters. The four governments of the UK need to work together on such issues, which further underlines the need for UK-wide representation on the new UKRI board. It simply does not make sense for our nation to walk away from the funding opportunities presented by Horizon 2020. We are the second biggest recipient of...
Julie James: ...renewable energy in Wales to provide secure, dependable energy both on and offshore. The consultation period on the draft NDF runs until the end of this week. After this, I will be considering the representations we have received and will also decide if there is a need to amend any of the policies in the light of that consultation. Deputy Presiding Officer, without bold and decisive action...
Mohammad Asghar: ...access to schools to broaden the range of advice young people receive about their future careers. I am confident that this will go some way to tackling the worrying gender imbalance and under-representation of disabled people that we currently see in apprenticeships in Wales. Deputy Presiding Officer, Wales needs to face the challenges and grab the opportunities presented by the modern...
Vaughan Gething: ...they’ve had on actually setting priorities with the health service, so it’s genuine engagement and isn’t just about the service deciding for itself what it will do. You’ve got that direct representation from the third sector. It’s one of the strengths of the approach that we take, actually, that we’ve got the third sector there as critical friends, but who are still able to...
David Rowlands: ...proportions. It is said that a hugely disproportionate number of migrants now occupy our prisons. It has been worked out that if the propensity of foreign-born nationals to commit crime, based on representation in our prisons, were reflected in the indigenous population as a whole, occupancy of our prisons would be near 120,000, not the 84,000 we now have. And let us not forget there is...
John Griffiths: ..., such as students and the social housing sector. One of the areas where we have recommended changes is in relation to accommodation provided as part of a minister of religion's role. We received representations from Cytûn and the Church in Wales, highlighting some very specific issues around this type of accommodation. We agreed that the Bill should be amended to ensure that properties...
Darren Millar: ..., there was a call from the Children, Young People and Education Committee for you to consider what support you might be able to give to people from underachieving ethnic minorities with low representation and proportion of individuals going to university, and the Gypsy/Traveller community. I wonder whether you might be able to comment on whether there might be specific ring-fenced support...
Vaughan Gething: ...engagement ahead of the long-term plan—your first question—we do expect to engage openly with stakeholders, within the health service, with different staff groups and different royal college representation as well. It's interesting how royal colleges themselves are actually welcoming and agitating for more change as well. That can be difficult for them and some of their members, as...
Mick Antoniw: ...have our own Welsh legal aid system. One of the recommendations of the Thomas commission was for that to take place, or for the process to begin in that respect. I feel that if people cannot have representation then they do not have genuine access and they are disempowered within the legal system. When I went to visit the Cardiff civil justice courts the other week and met with the judges...
Bethan Sayed: ...is a recognition, due primarily to historical enmity, of the long-held beliefs of republicans. It would be impossible to force allegiance to the monarch in the north of Ireland without denying representation to a large proportion of the people there. This is also based upon the principle of many people in the north of Ireland not wishing to swear to something they fundamentally disagree...
