Lynne Neagle: Thank you, Huw, for that supplementary. A key role of the task and finish group is to develop a national framework for social prescribing, which will include general practice. It will also be exploring the barriers to progressing social prescribing in Wales. However, we already know that one of the biggest obstacles that GPs encounter is actually knowing what activities are available to them...
Lynne Neagle: Thank you, Huw. The principles of social prescribing are consistent with broader Welsh Government policy, such as the primary care model for Wales and 'A Healthier Wales'. Our recently established social prescribing task and finish group is looking to understand how social prescribing could aid Wales in its recovery from COVID-19, and includes, amongst others, representation from the Royal...
Lynne Neagle: I'd like to nominate Elin Jones.
Lynne Neagle: Will the Minister make a statement on the NHS pay review?
Lynne Neagle: Will the Minister make a statement on the prevention of young suicide in Wales?
Lynne Neagle: Minister, as this is likely to be our last exchange in this Senedd, I just wanted to take this opportunity to place on record my heartfelt thanks to you for your work in this area, which has delivered such substantial progress in this Senedd. Your engagement with my committee has been rooted in respect for the value and worth of Senedd committees, fuelled by your commitment to children and...
Lynne Neagle: First Minister, I'm sure that you and the Counsel General have raised in the JMC the question of Erasmus+. Given the hugely disappointing decision by the UK Government to turn their back on this highly successful programme of learning exchanges, would you agree with me that the Welsh Government's announcement that it is to fund a new reciprocal learning programme for the whole of the next...
Lynne Neagle: Thank you, Minister. I was delighted to see the framework published yesterday. And I hope to speak next week in the statement and to say some words about you then. As you know, the Children, Young People and Education Committee recently held a brilliant session on the impact of COVID on the physical and mental health of children and young people, and I would like to thank Professor Ann John,...
Lynne Neagle: 6. What steps will the Minister take to promote pupil well-being in the return-to-school plans? OQ56453
Lynne Neagle: Thank you, Llywydd, for this opportunity to make a brief contribution on what I think is a landmark occasion today. Passing this Bill will not just be setting the legal framework for the first review of the curriculum in over 30 years—it will be our first Curriculum for Wales, co-constructed with the profession and made in Wales. And if ever there was a time for a curriculum rooted in...
Lynne Neagle: Thank you, First Minister. As you know, COVID rarely causes serious illness in children and young people, but we do know the pandemic has had a huge impact on their learning, on their mental health and on other aspects of their physical health. I very much support the cautious approach to easing lockdown restrictions, and an approach where we continue to follow scientific evidence and advice....
Lynne Neagle: Shall I try again? Is that better?
Lynne Neagle: 6. What steps will the First Minister take to ensure that the wellbeing of children and young people is prioritised when considering the easing of lockdown restrictions? OQ56425
Lynne Neagle: —those emergency services to pick up the pieces, so I'd like it if the Minister could say something in her response about when she expects the other part of that review, the NHS crisis and care services work, to be completed and implemented. Diolch yn fawr.
Lynne Neagle: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer, for the opportunity to make a brief contribution in this debate, and it is difficult, I think, to do justice to such a wide-ranging report in this debate. There were a few issues I wanted to pick up on; the first was the very clear link made in the report for the continued need to see action on both 'Everybody's Business', the health committee's suicide...
Lynne Neagle: I'm proud to speak in a debate today in support of Welsh Government's plans for high-quality, developmentally appropriate, inclusive, equality-based RSE for all children in Wales. Those Members who have read our Stage 1 committee report will know that the Children, Young People and Education Committee gave our unanimous support to the plans, having listened carefully to the evidence we heard....
Lynne Neagle: Thank you, Minister. The aerospace sector is worth more than £1.4 billion in Wales and employs over 11,000 workers, including many people from Torfaen. However, it has also been very badly hit by the COVID pandemic, and those workplaces may well not have either the resources or the ability to undertake their own workplace testing. What assurances can you give that the new strategy you...
Lynne Neagle: Thank you, Llywydd. One of the highlights of my time as Chair of the Senedd's Children, Young People and Education Committee has been the opportunity to watch the Youth Parliament develop. To work with its Members on the scrutiny we undertake as a committee and as a Senedd has been a genuine privilege, and I'm in no doubt that the establishment of the Youth Parliament has enriched the debate...
Lynne Neagle: 6. What plans does the Minister have to roll out asymptomatic workplace testing in Wales? OQ56326
Lynne Neagle: What discussions has the Minister had with the Children's Commissioner for Wales about the impact of the latest lockdown on the mental health of children and young people in Wales?
