QNR – in the Senedd on 24 January 2017.
Our commitment to children and young people is enshrined in legislation and Brexit does not change this. Listening to and investing in children and young people is intrinsically a good thing to do. It makes sense for the good of society and for the long-term benefit of the economy.
The road safety framework for Wales sets out the actions we and our partners will take to achieve our casualty reduction targets. The framework will be reviewed following the release of the 2016 casualty statistics.
We continue to engage with the UK Government and the other devolved governments to ensure the priorities of Wales are reflected in the negotiations on the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union. These priorities were set out clearly in the White Paper, ‘Securing Wales’ Future’, published yesterday.
I understand that the health board discussed the progress of the investigation and the independent governance review during its meeting last week. It is also under special measures, putting in place the steps needed to sustainably improve mental health services across North Wales.
‘Taking Wales Forward’ sets out our programme of education reforms to improve education in Wales.
We recognise the potential of marine industry and opportunity. Our programme for government commits to supporting more renewable energy projects, including tidal lagoons.
The health board reported against the milestones set under the improvement framework in November, which highlighted good progress. I expect to see continued and sustained delivery of the required improvement outcomes before we consider removing it from special measures.
