Siân Gwenllian: May I ask for a written statement from the Minister for health, outlining the steps that she has taken since the tragic news of another two very serious incidents in the vascular unit at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd emerged last week? Patients, their families, and the public in Arfon, and beyond, need assurances that the Government is turning every stone to ensure that the unit is safe and that...
Siân Gwenllian: 3. Will the Minister provide an update on the flood prevention plan for Hirael bay, Bangor? OQ57867
Siân Gwenllian: Thank you very much. A number of factors are converging to create the risk in Hirael bay, including the increasing sea level, high water table and the way that the Afon Adda enters the sea. I am very pleased that significant funds are being allocated to a flood defence scheme. I'm aware that there is another scheme in the pipeline in this area, namely a plan to extend the coastal path. So, I...
Siân Gwenllian: Will the First Minister provide an update on plans for a north Wales medical school?
Siân Gwenllian: Formally move.

Siân Gwenllian: 2. Will the Minister provide an update on the Government's plans to support children and young people with dyslexia in the Arfon constituency? OQ58053
Siân Gwenllian: One of my constituents in Arfon has undertaken an independent study after finding failings in the dyslexia provision through the medium of Welsh for her daughter. She has been disappointed by the lack of resources and services available through the medium of Welsh, and, although hopefully in the future there will be a dyslexia test through the medium of Welsh, there is no dyslexia test...
Siân Gwenllian: 8. Will the First Minister provide an update on the future of Plas Menai outdoor centre in Arfon? OQ58141
Siân Gwenllian: I have raised concerns about proposed changes for Plas Menai with the Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport. The process currently ongoing could lead to the privatisation of the centre, and there is concern that that would have a negative impact on the working conditions of the staff, the facilities available to local people and an impact on the Welsh language too. Will you join with me in...
Siân Gwenllian: I am very pleased to contribute to this crucial debate as a member of the special purpose committee that has been working on the report that is the subject of today's debate. The committee's task was to look at the conclusions of previous reports on parliamentary reform and then to make recommendations for policy directions for legislation by the Government to reform the Senedd. The backdrop...
Siân Gwenllian: As the Member for Arfon, which includes Ysbyty Gwynedd of course, I have been very concerned about the health board for some time, and I fear that yesterday's announcement will not move us on to better days. Over the years, constituents have highlighted their concerns, some of which relate to the loss of services from Ysbyty Gwynedd. We had to fight a threat to maternity services. The case...
Siân Gwenllian: 6. Will the Minister provide an update on the medical training that is available in the north Wales medical school? OQ58186
Siân Gwenllian: Thank you very much for that update, and I look forward to seeing the medical school receiving a brand new centre in the middle of the city of Bangor in due course, which will be able to contribute to the regeneration of the high street in the city. Your Government's strategy, 'More than just words', emphasises that having care in your first language is vital to the quality of that care. This...
Siân Gwenllian: Will the Minister provide an update on the number of jobs that have been created in Parc Bryn Cegin, Bangor?
Siân Gwenllian: 6. Will the First Minister provide an update on services to support women in Arfon who are affected by perinatal mental health problems? OQ58234
Siân Gwenllian: Thank you very much. Next week, I will be co-sponsoring an event to mark the first anniversary of the unit for mothers and babies in the south, Uned Gobaith. As you know, this unit was opened in the middle of the pandemic, and it's faced challenges as a result of that, but, of course, it is developing to be a very valuable resource for women who experience mental health issues around the...
Siân Gwenllian: 2. What discussions has the Minister had with the Minister for Health and Social Services about training prospective doctors through the medium of Welsh at Bangor medical school? OQ58233
Siân Gwenllian: I asked the health Minister here in the Siambr recently how the new medical school in Bangor could help to achieve the excellent 'More than just words' policy, but I do have to say that I was disappointed by the response that I received. That's why I am continuing with this theme with you today. From what I understand, there are very few Welsh speakers training at the medical school in Bangor...
Siân Gwenllian: 1. What impact will gender budgeting plans have on the Arfon constituency? OQ58276
