Delyth Jewell: 2. What assessment has the Minister made of how Wales's qualification for the football World Cup finals will impact the Welsh economy? OQ58166
Delyth Jewell: 5. Will the Minister provide an update on how perinatal mental health services in Wales are being delivered? OQ58159
Delyth Jewell: Thank you, Llywydd. Broadcasting is a subject that has been at the forefront of the agenda of the Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee. We as a committee have taken evidence from a host of stakeholders who strongly suggest that we need to strengthen the media landscape in Wales, although there is a great difference of opinion about how to do...
Delyth Jewell: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. As we know, the Gwent levels are a vital hub for nature, protected nationally and internationally. The 900 miles of waterways know locally as reens are a chorus of life and home to hundreds of rare creatures. Numerous rare birds live there and migrate there to breed. More than 144 species of threatened bugs and beetles are also amongst those that have made their home...
Delyth Jewell: Diolch, Gweinidog. I used to work for Citizens Advice, so I really do agree with you that they will be a lifeline for thousands of people in Wales over the coming months. Now, many vulnerable people, of course, need advice in person. I'd like to seek your assurance that support is being given to organisations like Citizens Advice to ensure that in-person advice will continue to be available...
Delyth Jewell: 5. Will the Minister make a statement on the role of services like Citizens Advice during the cost-of-living crisis? OQ58132
Delyth Jewell: Huw, I was really struck, in your contribution there, by the importance of the beauty of untidiness. I was trying to think what 'the beauty of untidiness' would be in Welsh. I think it's 'prydferthwch blerwch', which is almost cynghanedd, so it's also a beautiful phrase in Welsh, and poetic too.
Delyth Jewell: I wanted to thank Carolyn Thomas for bringing this debate before the Senedd. What a wonderful and important debate it's been. The pandemic has led so many of us to re-evaluate the importance of nature in our own localities. One doesn't have to travel to mountains and lakes to experience nature in all its glory, it's also there in our villages, or it could be if we allow it to grow. Wild...
Delyth Jewell: We will all be aware that it's No Mow May, and I'd like to ask for a statement setting out how the Government is taking this further, to reconnect people across Wales with the natural world on their doorstep. I'm proud to be the species champion for the shrill carder bee, the most endangered bumblebee in Wales and England. I'd really like more people, of all ages, to learn more about how...
Delyth Jewell: I'll focus my remarks on something that Sioned Williams has mentioned: the normalisation of pain for women in medical procedures and the ways in which girls and women are brought up to expect and tolerate discomfort as part of their daily lives. Perhaps most worryingly, when women complain about experiencing pain, as we've heard, there's ample research to suggest that they are routinely...
Delyth Jewell: Thank you for that, Minister. I certainly welcome the deep dive, and I agree with you about the need to be honest and realistic with ourselves, and with the people of Wales, about how there are going to have to be some difficult decisions being made. I would still press you that, really, unless we have this legislation being brought forward in the second year, I worry about how much it could...
Delyth Jewell: Diolch, Llywydd. Last week, there was a highly critical report that was published by the Office for Environmental Protection. It was warning the UK Government that the progress to deliver on environmental commitments in England is too slow, and it makes recommendations for urgent action. It emphasises the need for legally binding targets. We have had this discussion, I know, Minister, a...
Delyth Jewell: I'd like to welcome today's statement and thank you very much, Minister, for your statement. The increase in instances of flooding due to climate change poses a major risk to communities, individuals and to businesses in Wales. It's entirely correct and to be welcomed that the voices and experiences of those people and businesses across Wales are going to be heard, via the independent review,...
Delyth Jewell: Diolch. First Minister, access to hospital services in the south-east of Wales is a significant problem. I've raised this in the Senedd before, particularly the fact that, when Caerphilly miners hospital closed, the Rhymney valley was left without an A&E. We were told that Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr would have one; the road signs originally said that it would, but the signs were changed and the...
Delyth Jewell: 6. What analysis has the Welsh Government made of the effectiveness of the current configuration of hospital services in South Wales East? OQ58066
Delyth Jewell: I'd like to ask for a statement on the importance of democratic engagement. We've just come out of an election, and although they can be fractious, at their best elections are a celebration of community, connections between people, and the chance to change things. Trefnydd, I'm sure that you would join me in paying tribute to everybody who stood for election this past week, congratulating the...
Delyth Jewell: I'd like a statement, please, outlining what work is happening cross-Governmentally to address the hormone replacement therapy shortage in the UK. I've been contacted by constituents who are deeply concerned about this and filled with dread at the prospect of how they'll cope if they are not able to manage their menopause symptoms. Trefnydd, we don't talk enough about the menopause. There's...
Delyth Jewell: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. This week marks Global Intergenerational Week, an opportunity to celebrate the connections we have with people of all ages in our everyday lives. The past couple of years have presented acute challenges for both younger and older people, so it's fitting that the theme around this year's global campaign centres on reconnecting, combatting loneliness and isolation,...
Delyth Jewell: Thank you for bringing more information about the situation in Caerphilly as well, and I agree entirely that there should be a public register, taking on board some of the points that you have made, of course.
Delyth Jewell: Peredur has spoken about the price paid by whole communities, the possibilities in terms of regeneration, too, and biodiversity, and we need to safeguard that for the future, of course.
