2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Perinatal Mental Health Support (29 Sep 2021)

Buffy Williams: Thank you, Deputy Minister, for that update. It's estimated that in Wales over 9,000 women suffer for postpartum PTSD, and one in five women suffer with their emotional well-being during the perinatal period. Early research suggests that this figure will inevitably rise. This, sadly, doesn't come as a surprise. The difficult but much needed service changes, made by health boards across Wales...

From Trehafod up to Maerdy, Trebanog over to Treherbert, men and women worked their fingers to the bone to make this country rich. We're proud of the contribution our forefathers made in Rhondda, alongside our neighbours, as part of the wider south Wales coalfields area. This is in stark contrast to successive UK Tory Governments, who...

12. Short Debate: Support for women who suffer postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder (14 Jul 2021)

Buffy Williams: There are many groups and organisations available to support mothers through this very difficult time, but when you leave the care of the medical professionals, and you are back in the family unit, you begin to worry; worry that you are a failure, worry that you are letting people down. You feel that you can’t ask for help without being negatively judged and you start to feel that no matter...

12. Short Debate: Support for women who suffer postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder (14 Jul 2021)

Buffy Williams: I'd like to give a minute of my time to Laura Anne Jones, Huw Irranca-Davies and Carolyn Thomas, if I could, please.  Postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder is a serious issue. In Wales alone over 9,000 women are suffering, sometimes in silence. Mothers have kept their symptoms to themselves so the condition has remained invisible, to a great extent. Many mothers, unfortunately, are...

1. Questions to the Minister for Climate Change: Natural Resources Wales (14 Jul 2021)

Buffy Williams: Minister, as you know, I've made my views clear in this Chamber when discussing NRW and the flooding events of 2020.

5. Statement by the Deputy Minister for Climate Change: Trees and Timber (13 Jul 2021)

We need to plant more trees to combat climate change and reduce the chances of more extreme weather conditions, like the rainfall that led to the flooding in February 2020. In October 2020, NRW completed their land estate management review and produced 10 key recommendations to change...

4. Statement by the Minister for Education and Welsh Language: Cymraeg 2050 (13 Jul 2021)

Buffy Williams: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. I'm really glad to hear that the Minister is serious about reaching 1 million siaradwyr Cymraeg by 2050. Taking camau bach makes a huge difference. Like thousands of people across Wales, I use Duolingo every morning to learn more geiriau. But more important than this, children across Wales speak Welsh in their classrooms every day, like the children in Ysgol Gyfun Cwm...

Buffy Williams: How does the Welsh Government intend to build on the success of the valleys taskforce over the next Senedd term?

3. Topical Questions: Natural Resources Wales ( 7 Jul 2021)

Buffy Williams: I need to declare an interest in this issue, as I live in the community of Pentre, and was personally affected by the 2020 floods. Minister, as you're aware, I have my own anxieties and frustrations with NRW. Over 200 properties and businesses flooded in the Rhondda last year. Immediate action was taken by Welsh Government, Welsh Water and RCT council to put right the culvert and drainage...

I’ve been contacted by graduates who left Rhondda to attend university and now wish to return to their home town to buy a home of their own, but face a...

1. Questions to the Minister for Social Justice: Child Poverty in South Wales East (30 Jun 2021)

Buffy Williams: Minister, working and volunteering throughout the pandemic in a third sector capacity, I experienced first-hand the detrimental effects COVID has had on Rhondda families. Loss of income and increasing living costs have sadly seen families and individuals struggling to make ends meet. I'm grateful for the provisions put in place by Welsh Government to support these families, but there is still...

6. Statement by the Deputy Minister for Social Partnership: Advancing LGBTQ+ Equality in Wales (29 Jun 2021)

Buffy Williams: I welcome the statement from the Deputy Minister today. Some of my best memories come from Pride events in Wales. A Pride co-ordinator and specific Pride fund will only enhance the celebrations. I cannot believe conversion therapy is still being discussed. I absolutely support today's promise to ban all aspects of conversion therapy in Wales.  I recently attended the official opening of...

I was proud to stand on a manifesto that included a young person's guarantee, either of work, education, training or...
