Lee Waters: Would the Member give way?
Lee Waters: Thank you very much. It's ironic to have you quoting back at us that we're going to end up with the worst of all worlds, because that's exactly what the 'remain' campaign warned would happen, but we were assured by you and Nigel Farage that this would be a cinch—it would sort out all these trade deals within 24 hours. We said this was nonsense. You were the one who sold people that pup, and...
Lee Waters: Just in terms of your point about enemies causing problems and disruption, can I just remind you it's the Foreign Secretary who has said that these negotiations would be better handled if Donald Trump was in charge? So, he should be directing his ire at his own side, rather than these benches.
Lee Waters: Thank you, First Minister. Families with children with neurodevelopmental conditions often report that getting a child to sleep is one of the most stressful and difficult times of the day. One constituent came to see me recently. They couldn't settle their son until four in the morning, causing chaos in the house and stress for the whole family. When children do get to see a specialist,...
Lee Waters: 8. What action is the Welsh Government taking to make sleep medication for children and young people with neurodevelopmental conditions more easily available? OAQ52380
Lee Waters: Will the Member gave way?
Lee Waters: On spending, I realise the Member is new to the Conservative group in the Assembly, but not that long ago, the Conservatives had a pledge to ring-fence health spending in Wales. The consequence would have been a massive cut in education spending. So, it's a little rich for the Member now to give us lectures on health spending levels when we've protected it and grown it.
Lee Waters: Thank you for the reply, Minister. Since I tabled the question, I'm pleased that the likely site of the infestation has been identified and now handed over to Natural Resources Wales. There's still a good deal of stress and distress, particularly in the Morfa and the seaside parts of town where the problem was most intense, and it was deeply unpleasant for many families. There's a great deal...
Lee Waters: 3. What assistance can the Welsh Government give to Carmarthenshire County Council to combat the problem of flies in Llanelli? OAQ52292
Lee Waters: Will the Cabinet Secretary provide an update on the work conducted by the valleys taskforce on the impact of automation?
Lee Waters: Would the Member give way?
Lee Waters: Thank you very much. It's often said of economists that, if you ask four economists their opinion, they'll give you five answers. Is the same true of UKIP's position on energy policy?
Lee Waters: Thank you for giving way. I certainly support the liveable cities agenda, but there is a thorny public policy dilemma we need to engage with. There's good evidence to show that cities grow often at the expense of outlying areas. It often is a zero-sum game. So, what is the thinking on what can be done to help the left-behind areas?
Lee Waters: They're all wrong.
Lee Waters: Thank you, First Minister. 5G, as you know, will be crucial to enable much of the innovation that will come out of the fourth industrial revolution. Without 5G, things like driverless cars and the internet of things simply won't be possible. In China, they've already established 5G test beds in 16 cities and predict that 5G will be commercially available in 2020. We've currently got plans...
Lee Waters: 5. What plans does the First Minister have in place to support the roll-out of 5G technology? OAQ52283
Lee Waters: Thank you very much. As the Cabinet Secretary knows, there's a lot riding on the results of this consultation, and from the countless conversations I've had, awareness is low, and it's fair to say there's a degree of suspicion that the health board have made their mind up in advance. They've only printed 10,000 copies of a quite hard-to-follow questionnaire, and they're making no envelopes...
Lee Waters: Thank you. I know the Cabinet Secretary will agree that early recognition is important in providing support for children and young people, and schools sometimes struggle to provide the most appropriate support, both in terms of having the skills and capacity within the school, but also in accessing services in the community and through CAMHS. Mental health charities and schools report that...
Lee Waters: 7. What steps is the Cabinet Secretary taking to help schools to promote mental wellbeing? OAQ52241
Lee Waters: 7. What steps is the Cabinet Secretary taking to ensure that Hywel Dda University Health Board consults widely on proposals for hospital reorganisation? OAQ52240
