COVID regulations have prevented other than essential visits to hospitals across Wales for nearly half my time as First Minister. These opportunities are now starting to resume. In a personal capacity, I have visited Welsh hospitals on a number of occasions over the same period.

(Translated) What assessment has the Welsh Government made of the differences between the number of degree apprenticeship admissions and university admissions?

Degree apprenticeships are an important part of our skills and qualifications offer, designed to address key skills shortages and support employers to diversify their workforce. Our degree apprenticeship programme is fully funded and occupationally focused. A direct comparison with higher education participation is superficial.

(Translated) What discussions has the Welsh Government had with the UK Government regarding firearm licensing in Wales?

While we work closely with the police on matters relating to policing in Wales, firearms licensing is a reserved matter. The police are the licensing authority for firearms and use both local information and Home Office guidance to inform their judgment.
