Nathan Gill: Thank you for that answer, First Minister. You’re probably aware that every year, about 15,000 people become homeless in Wales, including 2,800 children. Of those, a few hundred will be living on the streets. Last week, my office was able to help find accommodation for a former armed forces veteran who, because of mental health issues, found himself homeless. According to homeless...

Nathan Gill: Will the First Minister make a statement on the performance of Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board?
Nathan Gill: Cabinet Secretary, if I had a tattoo for every hour I had spent in a traffic jam, I would have more than two full sleeves. On Friday, I got caught up in the horrendous chaos on the A55, only to turn around and then be caught up in hours of delays on the A5 near Chirk, which, I believe, is only just reopening fully today. What are you going to do to ensure that when we have these accidents and...
Nathan Gill: Will the Cabinet Secretary make a statement on the performance of the health service in North Wales?
Nathan Gill: Short and sweet, thank you. First minister, you may be aware that the First Minister of Northern Ireland is in favour of abolishing air passenger duty to help air passengers support growth, jobs and cut costs from businesses. Given the Scottish Government has now used its newly devolved power and brought in its Air Departure Tax (Scotland) Bill, as a replacement for air passenger duty, and...
Nathan Gill: 5. Will the First Minister make a statement on the future of devolution in Wales? OAQ(5)0662(FM)
Nathan Gill: Thank you, Llywydd. On 5 June, I was devastated to hear the news of the death of my friend and colleague Sam Gould. When Sam was diagnosed with bowel cancer, his reaction was to do what he knew best: to campaign. Through his videos and social media campaign, Sam raised awareness of the symptoms of bowel cancer. His videos have been viewed by over 100,000 people, and comments and messages that...
Nathan Gill: Will the Cabinet Secretary make a statement on foster carers in North Wales?
Nathan Gill: Thank you, First Minister. A key part of the north Wales growth deal is Wyfla Newydd, the nuclear power plant that is going to be built on Anglesey, which will create many well-paid jobs—highly skilled—not just on Anglesey but throughout the whole of north Wales. Now, having read through the Labour Party’s manifesto, there is clear support for our nuclear energy sector, but, just days...

Nathan Gill: About five years ago, I was diagnosed with diabetes myself, and it came as a huge shock. I didn’t meet any of the criteria that people normally would. It was type 2, but I had never smoked in my life, never drank and wasn’t particularly overweight either. Diabetes can happen to just about anybody and for various reasons. For myself, it was because of an illness that attacked my pancreas....
Nathan Gill: Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. I understand that much of the routine orthopaedic surgery in the north Wales region is outsourced to the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt hospital in Oswestry. May I just read from a letter I have received from a consultant orthopaedic surgeon in the Betsi Cadwaladr University Local Health Board, which, as I’m sure you’re aware, is under special measures? He says...

Nathan Gill: How did I attack it?
Nathan Gill: The annual reduction of the Family Fund is £1.83 million. So, just to give this a little bit of context: this debate is scheduled for 60 minutes, 20 minutes after this debate finishes, the UK Government will have given that amount out in foreign aid. We are a wealthy nation. We do have money. I’ve done some basic sums based on correspondence that I’ve received, so the figures may...
Nathan Gill: As human beings, we have basic needs: food, water, warmth and rest, security and comfort. These very basic needs have to be met before we can even start to aim to fulfil our potential. My children are lucky enough to come home every night to a familiar place—a place that they know, a place that they call home. It’s a place where they feel safe, where they feel that they belong. It’s...
