7. Statement by the Minister for Education and Welsh Language: Sustainable Communities for Learning (17 Jan 2023)

Heledd Fychan: Thank you, Minister, for this afternoon's statement. Clearly, there are many things to be welcomed here. We certainly agree on the need to upgrade a number of schools. We know, travelling the length and breadth of Wales and visiting schools, that there are schools that truly do need investment. This is an important part of ensuring the learning environment, which is so important, as you've...

3. Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Flooding (17 Jan 2023)

Heledd Fychan: I would like to ask a number of questions, please, Minister, because as we’ve said, this is an issue that is going to continue to affect communities across Wales because of the climate emergency. This isn’t something that is concerning for the future, but is evidence of climate change and its impact now. And we must do more, I believe, to support those living in at-risk communities. You...

3. Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Flooding (17 Jan 2023)

Heledd Fychan: Diolch Llywydd. I welcome the statement today from the Minister, and in particular, my thoughts are also with those who were devastated by flooding. For any of us who have seen it first-hand, it is absolutely devastating. And, there are people to whom it has happened time and time again. Last week, there were two properties in my region that were affected twice—on Thursday and...

2. Business Statement and Announcement (17 Jan 2023)

Heledd Fychan: May I ask, Trefnydd, for an oral statement from the Minister for arts and sport on the future of services that are not statutory in the areas of culture and sport? Specifically, we are seeing a number of local authorities consulting on proposed changes as a result of the financial settlement, and I am deeply concerned seeing many museums and sports facilities being proposed among those cuts...

3. Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: NHS Winter Pressures (10 Jan 2023)

Heledd Fychan: Thank you, Minister, for today's statement. Of course, there is excellent work happening every day in our NHS, but it's important that we all recognise today the huge pressures facing staff. I've received so much correspondence that has been heartbreaking over Christmas—and I'm sure everyone else has—from constituents who are patients, members of patients' families, but also from workers...

2. Business Statement and Announcement (10 Jan 2023)

Heledd Fychan: Trefnydd, as you will be aware, next month will mark three years since the devastating flooding as a result of storm Dennis, which particularly affected South Wales Central. The subsequent report by Natural Resources Wales outlined that one of the biggest challenges they were facing in responding to flooding was capacity, due to being under-resourced in terms of staff. A report published by...

7. Plaid Cymru Debate: Child Poverty (14 Dec 2022)

Heledd Fychan: More than one in three children across Wales live below the poverty line—that's 10 children out of a class of 30—and in some areas, the rate is even higher, and unfortunately, the situation will only deteriorate further as the cost-of-living crisis continues to affect increasing numbers of people. Wales has a higher child poverty rate than other UK nations, and although the Minister is...

1. Questions to the Minister for Economy: Flood Insurance (14 Dec 2022)

Heledd Fychan: Thank you, Minister. This is a specific question in terms of insurance, because, for residential homes, there is an insurance scheme through a levy on insurance companies, namely Flood Re. Such a scheme isn't available for businesses, which means that many have very costly insurance or cannot obtain insurance to safeguard them from flooding. With the climate crisis meaning that floods are...

1. Questions to the Minister for Economy: Flood Insurance (14 Dec 2022)

Heledd Fychan: 1. What discussions has the Minister had with the Minister for Climate Change regarding support for businesses in South Wales Central who are unable to obtain or afford insurance due to the ongoing risk of flooding? OQ58874

4. Debate on a Statement: The Draft Budget 2023-24 (13 Dec 2022)

Heledd Fychan: Someone wrote to me this week: 'Nothing is getting better; everything is getting worse day by day. Even some of the handouts that I have received are just not making any difference. What will change for me and what promises can you make?' Well, it's extremely difficult, because, even looking at this budget, the questions that we are being asked are not going to be solved or addressed. There...

4. Debate on a Statement: The Draft Budget 2023-24 (13 Dec 2022)

Heledd Fychan: Diolch, Weinidog. I would like to echo many of the comments. It's not an easy decision, and, in very many ways, it's a very sad budget. You look at it and think of the difficult decisions that are having to be made, but also knowing that, for many people, it's not going to make a huge difference to their lives.

2. Business Statement and Announcement (13 Dec 2022)

Heledd Fychan: May I ask for an update, please, with regard to the independent review of floods, and, in particular, how Members will be able to submit evidence? Obviously, this is part of the co-operation agreement, and I know that work is ongoing, but there is an important element in terms of us as elected Members being able to submit evidence. Having clarity on that through a written or oral statement...

QNR: Questions to the First Minister (13 Dec 2022)

Heledd Fychan: How does the Welsh Government provide support to increase the use of the Welsh language in South Wales Central?

9. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Independent review of children’s social care ( 7 Dec 2022)

Heledd Fychan: Thank you, Llywydd, and thank you to the Conservatives for bringing this debate forward today. 

9. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Independent review of children’s social care ( 7 Dec 2022)

Heledd Fychan: A key commitment within the programme for government is to explore radical reform of current services for looked-after children and care leavers. I believe it's absolutely essential that there is a review of children's social care in Wales, and I'm supporting this without agreeing to the amendment today. I think it is crucial. We've rehearsed the reasons why, tragically, as was highlighted by...

4. Topical Questions: Welsh Speakers in Wales ( 7 Dec 2022)

Heledd Fychan: Okay. Thank you very much. That feeling is extremely important, but could I ask, therefore: what are the Welsh Government's plans in terms of ensuring that that national feeling and the engagement with the Welsh language does ensure that everyone has the opportunity to proceed in that fashion, that we don't just leave that as a battle for Welsh speakers, and that that is something that is...

4. Topical Questions: Welsh Speakers in Wales ( 7 Dec 2022)

Heledd Fychan: Thank you, Minister. Given that it's Welsh Language Rights Day today, I think it's very appropriate that we are having a discussion, and, obviously, there is more data to be released in terms of the census as well, and I greatly hope, given that our parties are co-operating on a number of very important elements in terms of Cymraeg 2050, that that dialogue can continue. And, evidently, we...

3. Questions to the Senedd Commission: Free Period Products ( 7 Dec 2022)

Heledd Fychan: Thank you very much. I have to admit, it's great to see the products available in the toilets since the beginning of this week. I wanted to ask as well, when will the vending machines be removed from the toilets? Because that is a mixed message, given that we still have the vending machines in the toilets. Will we have more permanent signage? Because I understand that these are temporary...

1. Questions to the Minister for Social Justice: The Post Office and Royal Mail ( 7 Dec 2022)

Heledd Fychan: Thank you very much, Deputy Minister. Our postal service, of course, through the Post Office and the Royal Mail, is an essential service for so many people in our communities. In my region, a number of post offices have closed or have reduced their opening hours, and there are specific concerns regarding the future of Pontypridd post office—an extremely busy post office in Pontypridd town...
