12. Short Debate: Endometriosis and the women’s health plan in Wales (29 Mar 2023)

Jenny Rathbone: —in Hungary, rehabilitation treatment using thermal springs, physiotherapy, breathing techniques and abdominal massage is available to Hungarian women. They are judging the success of it at the moment on the fertility rates that are achieved by women who have great difficulty, obviously, in getting pregnant.

12. Short Debate: Endometriosis and the women’s health plan in Wales (29 Mar 2023)

Jenny Rathbone: Much more needs to be done. Thank you very much.

12. Short Debate: Endometriosis and the women’s health plan in Wales (29 Mar 2023)

Jenny Rathbone: Well, much progress has been made, but there's still a hell of a lot to do. Why is it, when 1.5 million people in the UK suffer from endometriosis, we do not know what causes it? So, there's an awful lot of research to be done, by both the expert patients and the clinicians. Last week, I chaired an online discussion with a panel of experts, including two very experienced consultants—Nahid...

3. Questions to the Senedd Commission: Disinformation (29 Mar 2023)

Jenny Rathbone: Thank you, Llywydd. You will remember, I'm sure, that, on St David's Day, you hosted an event in the Neuadd to celebrate the contribution made by people who'd chosen to make Wales their home, including people who'd fled Nazism as children, and who'd obviously enjoyed the rest of their lives in Wales. At the same time, there was somebody outside the windows of the Neuadd promoting...

3. Questions to the Senedd Commission: Endometriosis (29 Mar 2023)

Jenny Rathbone: As you said, Joyce, 10 per cent of all women have endometriosis, and I did think about this when I was on the march on Sunday, as to how we might have menstrual health discussions with female Members of the Senedd and staff, because a lot of people don't understand why they're suffering the way they are with their periods, because people who work here today won't have had the benefit of the...

2. Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: Race-hate Messaging (29 Mar 2023)

Jenny Rathbone: The police in the Vale of Glamorgan have recently had to deal with a small group of people descending on the area in the hope of persuading local residents that accommodating refugees in their community is in some way a risk to their well-being. It hasn't worked; on the contrary, the people in Llantwit Major, at all levels of the community, have loudly proclaimed that they support Wales as a...

1. Questions to the Minister for Social Justice: Refugees from Ukraine (29 Mar 2023)

Jenny Rathbone: I just wanted to ask you about the plight of Afghan refugees. We've just been told that they're going to be forced to leave hotels and move into a single offer of accommodation, or they'll just be on the street. Given they've been here for 18 months since the Afghan withdrawal, there's clearly concern that people will be in jobs, they'll have children in school. So, how is the Welsh...

2. Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: Race-hate Messaging (29 Mar 2023)

Jenny Rathbone: 1. What discussions has the Counsel General had with other law officers about any legal mechanisms available to the Welsh Government to prevent the promotion of race-hate messaging? OQ59356

3. Questions to the Senedd Commission: Disinformation (29 Mar 2023)

Jenny Rathbone: 6. What steps has the Commission taken to prevent the dissemination of disinformation on the Senedd estate? OQ59358

11. & 12. Legislative Consent Motion on the Procurement Bill: Motion 1, and Legislative Consent Motion on the Procurement Bill: Motion 2 (28 Mar 2023)

Jenny Rathbone: In the absence of any controls on food imported into Britain, we will continue to attract criminals intent on presenting food that is not what it says on the label, whether it's imported meat, reared to lower animal welfare standards or avoidable carbon emissions, or whether it's honey adulterated with water or cheap sugar syrups. Exiting the EU has left us naked to fraud by criminals, and...

6. Statement by the Minister for Education and Welsh Language: Tackling the impact of poverty on attainment (28 Mar 2023)

Jenny Rathbone: The whole-system approach, I agree, is a really important one when we're trying to tackle the impact of poverty on attainment. Hungry kids don't learn very well, and we know from Gordon Brown that 4 million children across the UK are going hungry. But there is also a cultural issue in that six in 10 people never cook from scratch, so this goes well beyond people who are struggling with the...

4. Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: Access to Primary Care Services (28 Mar 2023)

Jenny Rathbone: So, my two questions are really around community nursing. I see that you're committing about £3 million to it, and the electronic scheduling system is very powerful in saving senior team leaders' time. But do we not need multidisciplinary teams involved in community nursing, because we can't get all the district nurses we need, therefore we've got to do things differently? So, that is my...

4. Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: Access to Primary Care Services (28 Mar 2023)

Jenny Rathbone: The performance of primary care is obviously a really complex issue, because if you're serving a deprived population, it is likely that the demand on your services is going to be much greater than in an area where people can afford to simply go to the pharmacist and buy whatever it is they need. So, I think—. I appreciate that the 8 o'clock in the morning call is incredibly stressful for...

7. Plaid Cymru Debate: Bus emergency scheme (22 Mar 2023)

Jenny Rathbone: Thank you very much. We are in a very difficult situation here, and I think it’s absolutely right that we do debate this issue, so I thank Plaid for that. This is going to be a much more fruitful debate than the one we’ve just concluded. The Welsh Government has put over £150 million of subsidy into the bus industry since the pandemic, and there’s absolutely no doubt that the numbers...

6. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Minister for Health and Social Services (22 Mar 2023)

Jenny Rathbone: There was a hole in your argument, which is that the Minister is not entitled to sack the executive board members. That is the problem. That is the job of the health board, to organise their own workforce. 

6. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Minister for Health and Social Services (22 Mar 2023)

Jenny Rathbone: So, what would you do differently? Because you're supposed to be the official opposition. What would you do differently?

6. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Minister for Health and Social Services (22 Mar 2023)

Jenny Rathbone: Cardiff and the Vale have not had to cancel a single operation throughout this winter, despite the strikes, despite the continuing of COVID, and I don't understand how, therefore, you're saying that this is an underperforming health board. It's much better than many of the organisations you—[Inaudible.]

6. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Minister for Health and Social Services (22 Mar 2023)

Jenny Rathbone: I want to probe your proposal, Mike, because what you're saying is, if you want to divide secondary from primary care, you'd need to set up 22 local primary care organisations. That would just make the problem far worse. We already have far too many institutions in this country, so we have to go with the integrated system that we have and ensure that the health boards push the money down to...

5. Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Prepayment meters and energy advice services (22 Mar 2023)

Jenny Rathbone: In your meetings with Ofgem and indeed with the UK Government, can you establish that the other scandal around prepayment meters, which is the so-called prepayment premium, which forces people to pay even more, is actually going to end in July? Can you get some assurances for that, if you haven't had them already, categorically?

5. Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv): Prepayment meters and energy advice services (22 Mar 2023)

Jenny Rathbone: It is an absolute scandal, is it not, that over half our energy is now generated by renewables, yet we are still submitting poor people to this sort of treatment? The energy system is absolutely broken. I wanted to focus on how effective the method of getting payments to people was. So, I spoke to Ofgem, who assured me that companies are adding credit automatically, where possible, if...
