What assessment has Welsh Government made of the number of children on NHS waiting lists in Wales?
The number of children’s pathways on a referral-to-treatment waiting list in March 2024 had fallen by just over 2 per cent compared to April 2022, and from 8.2 per cent of all pathways in April 2022 to 7.3 per cent in March 2024. CAMH waiting lists have shown improvements, but more is required for treatment times.
What steps is the Welsh Government taking to reduce levels of child poverty in South Wales West?
Our child poverty strategy sets out how the Welsh Government will tackle child poverty in Wales, including South Wales West, through initiatives to reduce costs, maximise incomes, and develop pathways out of poverty so every child can enjoy their rights and have every opportunity to reach their potential.
What new relationships and sex education guidance has the Welsh Government provided to schools following the Cass review?
The relationships and sexuality education code remains developmentally appropriate and does not promote a particular viewpoint. Schools must follow these legal requirements. Analysis of the Cass review and any implications for services in Wales continues between officials in education, equalities and health.
