Lynne Neagle: Suzy, I know that you're aware that the committee that you're a member of is undertaking a major inquiry into school funding, but I am a bit puzzled by this long catalogue of difficulties that you're referring to, because I'm wondering where you think the funding pressures that are inflicted on schools are actually coming from, when it is actually your Westminster Government that cut our grant.
Lynne Neagle: I really do believe that suicide prevention is everybody's business and everybody's opportunity. I'd love to speak about every recommendation but, given the time constraints, I will focus on two areas. The first is particularly close to my heart—young suicide and the overlap between this report and the Children, Young People and Education Committee's 'Mind over matter' report, because the...
Lynne Neagle: Minister. I can well understand why the UKIP and Conservative Members want to bury their heads in the sand about the devastation that Brexit is causing on a daily basis to our manufacturing jobs. I am desperately worried about my automotive plants in Torfaen. We have hundreds of well-paid workers working in automotive supply chains whose jobs are all now at risk, not just from a 'no deal'...
Lynne Neagle: What discussions has the Minister had with registered social landlords in Wales about meeting the needs of communities?
Lynne Neagle: Thank you, First Minister. Would you agree with me that it would be a very serious mistake to leave the EU without any clear idea of the destination? And, will you make it clear to any Ministers from the UK Government, or, indeed, anyone with significant influence over Brexit, such as the leader of the opposition in Westminster, that supporting a blindfold Brexit would be an unacceptably...
Lynne Neagle: 8. What assessment has the First Minister made of the cost to the economy in Wales of ending freedom of movement? OAQ53422
Lynne Neagle: Minister, I continue to be dismayed at the apparent willingness of Newport City Council—a Labour council—to jeopardise services for a very vulnerable group of children and young people by their withdrawal from the effective and highly specialised regional SenCom service. Newport are now, belatedly, undertaking some consultation with families, but parents have complained about letters...
Lynne Neagle: 1. Will the Minister provide an update on Welsh Government discussions with local authorities in Gwent about the provision of the SenCom service? OAQ53347
Lynne Neagle: Will the Minister make a statement on the use of high dose-rate brachytherapy treatment for prostate cancer?
Lynne Neagle: Thank you, First Minister. Would you agree with me that the lesson from the weekend, and the very bad news from Nissan, is that while no deal would be the very worst outcome of all for the automotive industry, the reality is that any Brexit will see arguments and uncertainty continue for years, and every day of uncertainty is a day when investors stay away and jobs are under threat,...
Lynne Neagle: 7. What assessment has the First Minister made of the impact of a 'no deal' Brexit on the automotive sector in Wales? OAQ53378
Lynne Neagle: I just wanted to thank Bethan for tabling this very important subject. In the Children, Young People and Education Committee's inquiry into the emotional and mental health of young people last year, social media was a constant theme that arose, and, as you've already highlighted, we are more connected than ever before. But actually, I think we are more isolated in many ways than ever before....
Lynne Neagle: Will the First Minister provide an update on his discussions with the UK Government on Brexit?
Lynne Neagle: First Minister, the size of the Tory defeat last night was such that it's now plain that the only choices left are a Brexit the two major parties support, the disaster of a 'no deal' or a people's vote. Given that any Brexit deal would leave Wales worse off, would deepen the poverty trap and entrench austerity, would you agree with me that the only serious option now for those who want to put...
Lynne Neagle: Thank you, First Minister, and I was delighted to hear about that extra £7.1 million that was announced yesterday. As you'll be aware, 'Mind over Matter' enjoys strong cross-party support, and I believe that it sets out a clear road map for transforming the emotional and mental health of our children and young people. That said, I'm under no illusions about the scale of the challenge we...
Lynne Neagle: 1. How will the First Minister ensure that the emotional and mental health of children and young people is prioritised for the duration of this Assembly term? OAQ53224
Lynne Neagle: Thank you, Minister. Coed Eva Primary School in Cwmbran has recently been praised by Estyn for creating strategies to develop pupils' independence and attitudes to learning, one of which includes a pupil leadership scheme that involves the pupils conducting lesson observations, focusing upon learners' learning behaviours and attitude to learning and where they provide feedback to pupils and...
Lynne Neagle: 7. Will the Minister provide an update on the impact of pupil leadership schemes in schools? OAQ53118
Lynne Neagle: Mark Drakeford.
Lynne Neagle: Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. And, of course, reducing the use of antibiotics for both people and animals is crucial if we are to defend ourselves against the threat of antibiotic resistance. The Responsible Use of Medicines in Agriculture Alliance has recently raised concerns about the sufficiency of the data that's available, particularly for beef, sheep and dairy farmers. Given the very...
