Janet Finch-Saunders: Thank you. Now, according to the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, each public body must carry out sustainable development, which is the process of improving the economic, social, environmental and cultural well-being of Wales by taking action in accordance with the sustainable development principles aimed at achieving the well-being goals. Those goals, of course, include a...
Janet Finch-Saunders: Thank you, Minister. You'll be aware that, only recently, we brought forward in this Chamber a Welsh Conservative debate on Ukraine, and I had to raise then that Ukrainian refugees who have to leave their sponsor homes have been told that welcome centres are not an option for safe accommodation. In cases such as Swansea, refugees have been forced to leave a particular hotel and left with...
Janet Finch-Saunders: The actions of serial rapist David Carrick, the murder of Sarah Everard by Wayne Couzens and the abhorrent treatment of the bodies of sisters Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman by police constables Deniz Jaffer and Jamie Lewis shocked us all, and it left those police departments' reputation in tatters. Of course, as my colleague has mentioned, North Wales Police now has 27 conduct investigations...
Janet Finch-Saunders: 8. What steps is the Minister taking to provide adequate support for Ukrainian refugees? OQ59174
Janet Finch-Saunders: 5. What legal advice has the Counsel General provided to the Minister for Climate Change ahead of the decision to scrap several major road projects in north Wales? OQ59177
Janet Finch-Saunders: 6. What legal advice has the Counsel General provided to the Welsh Government regarding its policy on gender self-identification following the UK Government's decision to block the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill? OQ59176
Janet Finch-Saunders: Of course, the purpose of the Social Housing (Regulation) Bill is to facilitate a new proactive approach to regulating social housing landlords on consumer issues. Such issues include safety, transparency and tenant engagement. This Bill has three main objectives: to facilitate a new proactive consumer regulation regime, refine the existing economic regulatory regime, and strengthen the...
Janet Finch-Saunders: My constituents have rights too.
Janet Finch-Saunders: With all due respect, can you call a point of order on a ex-health Minister who failed during their—[Inaudible.]
Janet Finch-Saunders: Thank you.
Janet Finch-Saunders: The failings that my colleagues have raised have been largely related to executive failings. Now, you've told us here today that you don't have those powers. Well, I'm asking you, Minister, and I don't care what it takes, but you certainly need to get those powers to ensure that you can actually become less detached from a health board that is failing in its ability to deliver safe and...
Janet Finch-Saunders: Thank you. Minister, you can fool some of the people all the time, and all the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time, and we are not fools; we are elected Members representing our constituents, and they are not fools either. Now, the audit report picks up the fact of four chief execs in less than four years. You mentioned your reasoning for taking the board...
Janet Finch-Saunders: I would like to request a statement from the Deputy Minister for Climate Change. Over two weeks ago, the T19 between Llandudno and Blaenau Ffestiniog was terminated. Employees have been left unable to access work, students are relying on private transport to get to school and residents are struggling to reach medical appointments. This morning, along with my colleague Mabon ap Gwynfor, we...
Janet Finch-Saunders: Will the First Minister make a statement on the report by the Auditor General for Wales on the effectiveness of Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board?
Janet Finch-Saunders: First off, I would like to reiterate and endorse the words that have already been spoken, and I would like to put on record our thanks, as Members here in the Senedd, to those of you who have been over to see at first hand the need over there. I think that it's fair to say that the brutality of this horrendous war is borne most painfully of the backs of those defending their homeland, the...
Janet Finch-Saunders: Snowdonia national park goes beyond and above to deliver on its statutory purposes, and I'd like to place on record my thanks for how they do manage all the functions they do have, their statutory functions, with the resources they have. However, the effect of inflation on the authority's flat budget until the end of 2024-25 is worryingly approximately £1.1 million, equivalent to a 20 per...
Janet Finch-Saunders: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. I would like to take issue with the Deputy Minister because he said two factually incorrect things, in my opinion, here today. On one, you said that—. I only raised with you about the two roundabouts in my constituency, and you made the point that I was saying one thing now, but I'd said something else differently, that I welcomed the fact that they were staying....
Janet Finch-Saunders: I would like to say that the one thing I would say about you, Minister, Lee, is that your heart is in this, and it has been for quite some time, and no-one is denying that we need more active travel. But I think the point that Alun Davies, my colleague, has made is the fact that you get your infrastructure in place, then you can decide not to do what we've always done and keep building roads....
Janet Finch-Saunders: If only. Trefnydd, in the Welsh Labour and Plaid Cymru co-operation agreement, you make a clear promise to ask Transport for Wales to work with local authorities in north-west Wales and the Welsh Government to develop plans for an integrated transport system. Now, rather than seeing progress, Conwy County Borough Council, Gwynedd and Welsh Government have failed to deliver for my communities...
Janet Finch-Saunders: 7. What steps is the First Minister taking to support public transport in Aberconwy? OQ59113
