Siân Gwenllian: It's good to hear that there are plans in the pipeline, and, of course, we need to extend them and to bring new plans forward too. But in rural parts of my constituency, it's not the cost of travelling on buses that's the only problem. There's a lack of bus services in the first instance, with some communities without a way to travel at all at times, because there are no trains, metro,...
Siân Gwenllian: 1. What plans does the Welsh Government have in place to help the young people of Arfon with the costs of traveling on public transport? OQ59096
Siân Gwenllian: Once again, I'm supporting a constituent from Arfon who has suffered terribly because of fundamental and very serious errors by the vascular unit at Glan Clwyd Hospital. I've consistently argued that the health board has destroyed a high-quality unit in Bangor for all the wrong reasons. This is just one of the poor decisions made with the approval of your Ministers over recent years, which...
Siân Gwenllian: 5. Will the First Minister provide an update on vascular services for patients in Arfon? OQ58981
Siân Gwenllian: Recently, I had an opportunity to visit a new centre on the site of an old factory in the Nantlle valley, which is decarbonisation hub or centre in Tŷ Gwyrddfai in Penygroes, which brings a number of partners together with a core aim of improving energy efficiency of people's homes, not just in Arfon, but across north Wales and further afield. An important part of this work will be...
Siân Gwenllian: 11. What discussions has the Minister had with the Minister for Climate Change about how farmers can contribute to improving energy efficiency in Arfon? OQ58969
Siân Gwenllian: Many constituents have contacted me on this issue, and the strong feeling is that the north-west is in danger of being excluded from a very important service once again. I know how much the service means to local people, the lives that have been saved and the benefits of having this rapid response service on our doorstep. So, I call upon the Welsh Government to prove—to prove—that the...
Siân Gwenllian: As you'll know, the problems experienced by some of my constituents with energy efficiency measures under the Arbed 2 scheme still haven't been resolved. I am grateful that your officials are dealing with cases relating to two specific contractors, and it would be useful to hear when we can expect an update on this. As we look to future schemes, it's exceptionally important, isn't it, that...
Siân Gwenllian: 5. What plans does the Government have to improve the energy efficiency of the housing stock in Arfon? OQ58899
Siân Gwenllian: Well done, and it's good to see this scheme developing. But I would like to know if any further work is ongoing to ensure that the necessary percentage of prospective students who have skills in the Welsh language will attend the medical school. A new scheme was announced for 'More than just words', and I would like to know how the themes in that scheme are being implemented in Bangor,...
Siân Gwenllian: 3. Will the Minister provide an update on the establishment of Bangor medical school? OQ58869
Siân Gwenllian: As we are about to discuss the draft budget for the next year, it's good to remember that establishing a medical school in Bangor emanated from a budget agreement between Plaid Cymru and your Government several years ago now, long before the co-operation agreement, truth be told. So, it is good to see this commitment continuing to be supported and the plan going from strength to strength....
Siân Gwenllian: 6. Will the First Minister provide an update on the establishment of Bangor medical school? OQ58870
Siân Gwenllian: Formally move.
Siân Gwenllian: Formally move.
Siân Gwenllian: What support is available for women in Arfon who experience maternity-related mental health problems?
Siân Gwenllian: Thank you for the statement and an opportunity to discuss this important issue. As you know, I represent the constituency on the mainland closest to the Menai bridge and the Britannia bridge. It’s a very busy civic area, including businesses and shops, playing fields, a business park, a hotel, schools and hundreds of homes, and also this is where Ysbyty Gwynedd is. We had queues of nearly...
Siân Gwenllian: Will the Minister provide an update on the support available to people in Arfon affected by problems with the Arbed 2 scheme?
Siân Gwenllian: You will be highly aware of the misinformation that's being spread by some in my constituency and beyond, indeed, on this code. This fake news is at risk of undermining the policy and the work of introducing relationships and sexuality education, a policy that we on these benches are entirely supportive of. In the meantime, of course, there is concern that the new materials and resources...
Siân Gwenllian: 5. What support is the Government providing to schools in Arfon and the local authority as they introduce the new relationships and sexuality education code? OQ58513
