Did you mean penny into?
Jenny Rathbone: I too spoke to a couple of community pharmacists who are doing excellent work, working in GP practices, but also going into people's homes to ensure that polypharmacy wasn't resulting from the stock of old medicines in the larder that then get mixed up with the new medicines. That's one of the reasons why people go into hospital, unfortunately, if you're elderly. I just want to pay tribute...
Julie James: Thank you very much, Jenny. There are a couple of things there. On the transition to electric vehicles, we very much hope that Welsh companies will hold to their investment plans. It does require two things. It requires the grid to be upgraded. It's great that, in Cardiff, you can do that, but there are many parts of Wales where that would not be possible because the distribution network...
Jenny Gilruth: ...devices, and it is why we are introducing a digital strategy that will not only help those young people’s learning and skills but help to improve their learning and understanding as they move into the world of work and further education.
Alison Thewliss: ...to be processed, because my constituents have heard nothing about their expressions of interest? Moving to the situation of Afghans in hotels, I understand from the local MSP and Cabinet Secretary Jenny Gilruth that 54 Afghans were given notice to quit from a hotel in Glenrothes. She is aware of no impact assessment and no discussion with local authorities prior to that decision being...
Jenny Rathbone: ...frustrated at the slow pace of change in terms of energy efficiency measures to retrofit and insulate people's homes. This means drawing up detailed plans to get people out of warm hubs and back into warm homes, and to do so at scale. We appreciate that the £900 million cut in the Welsh Government's budget this year limits Welsh Government action, but doing nothing has a cost too, in...
Jenny Rathbone: ...homes and sheltered accommodation. So, it was the WHO guidelines that forced Cardiff Council to take action by ensuring that the first electric buses that came on stream in Cardiff were put into these areas, because it was understood that this was not a situation that could continue. So, it is the WHO that has set the standard, and therefore there have to be very good reasons why we ignore...
Jenny Rathbone: ...the courage of his convictions and doing what needs to be done. We have a climate emergency and we need to reduce our speed limits and we need to ensure that we make that transition out of cars into active travel and ensure that we meet our 58 per cent reduction by 2030, which is not very far off. So, I'd also like to disagree with Mike Hedges, because I think that this leaflet, which I...
Jenni Minto: ..., payments and governance and the dental workforce. We are working incredibly hard with NHS boards and dentists to ensure that we understand and can move forward to improve how dentists come into the NHS. We currently have 183 students going through dental training, and Willie Rennie will remember that we lost 160 as a result of the Covid pandemic, but we aim to try and return more...
Emma Hardy: ...to flog us broadband, because we could say, “Check my postcode. Don’t bother. You’re not going to be able to provide it to me.” However, we now have a problem where new companies are coming into the city. On the one hand, it is positive that there is competition; on the other hand, those companies are coming into the city and wanting to put their own broadband poles up. One...
Sioned Williams: I want to talk about what the Crown Estate symbolises, and perhaps answer some of the questions that Jenny raised about the relationship of the Crown with the Crown Estate. The fact that such vast swathes of our nation's resources are held as the permanent personal possession of an individual, given that position and wealth by an archaic bloodline, while thousands of our fellow citizens...
Andrew Gwynne: ..., with 85% of children now conscious of e-cigarette marketing either in shops or online. What does that promotion look like? If hon. Members walk down any high street in the country and pop into a vaping shop or off-licence, they will see it at first hand. Brightly coloured e-liquids with names such as “blue razz”, “cherry cola” or “vampire vape” line the shelves. Some liquids...
Julie James: Jenny, that's a very good point. As part of the summit process, as we call it, working on the phosphate problem—although the phosphate problem is just one of the problems that's being looked at—we are looking at a variety of solutions, one of which is exactly that, to try and turn what is now a difficult waste into a money-making product for sale, and that is definitely one of the...
Maria Eagle: Amendment 75 would insert into the clause, which sets out the functions of the advocate, a power to establish an independent panel such as the Hillsborough Independent Panel in consultation with the families affected. Amendment 74 would enable the public advocate to provide support to victims in respect of an independent panel-type process, if such a process is ongoing in respect of a major...
Maria Eagle: ...of a standing appointment being preferable on balance. That is the approach that Michael Wills and I took when drafting our own version, which has the advantage of the postholder being able to go into action immediately with no delay required. My new clause envisages two scenarios in which the advocate is called into action. The first is where the Secretary of State invites him to get...
Jenny Rathbone: ...to start and, clearly, we need to have that in our nurseries and schools, but we really do need to have this throughout the children and young people's journeys through the educational system and into work. Yes, of course, oracy is mandatory across the curriculum, but we really do need to bring all of these people together to ensure that there aren't some other ways in which we hide the...
Jenny Rathbone: .... Whilst there is a fine for those who don't vote, a first-time offence can be discharged for as little as AU$20 and the maximum penalty is AU$180. I'm afraid I don't know how these amounts equate into pounds, but we're talking really moderate sums of money. And these fines are regularly enforced. On top of that, there are several opt-outs built into the system that allow leniency. If...
Dawn Bowden: Can I thank Jenny Rathbone for that question? I think it's a very important point that she raises. The Museum of Cardiff is certainly an exemplar in those positive relationships with diverse communities, ensuring their involvement, representation and inclusion, which is the most important. But in terms of the wider point that you make, Jenny, we've awarded £642,000 via the anti-racist Wales...
Jenny Gilruth: ...remain very committed to considering the issue with—of course—our partners in the Scottish Negotiating Committee for Teachers. The member mentioned workload and class contact. Both factors play into how we will take forward some of the key reforms that are coming not only from the national discussion but from the outputs of the Hayward review. I will be commissioning an external piece...
Jenny Rathbone: ...dying of lung cancer every year, and rising. So, the big food industry, we do not want to spend the whole of the twenty-first century persuading them to change their ways and stop adulterating food into things that are actually harmful to people. So, that is going to be really, really difficult, because they routinely adulterate their food with emulsifiers and other chemicals to increase...
Jenny Rathbone: Thank you very much for all the considerable work that you are putting into demonstrating how we could deliver a justice system closer to the people of Wales once we have those powers. I particularly welcome your decision to ensure that anybody excluded from school should be seen by a tribunal to examine whether or not this was an appropriate act, because it seems to me that exclusion from...
