Questions For - First Minister
How does the Welsh Government support families affected by cancer in Wales?
Our approach to supporting people affected by cancer was set out in the quality statement for cancer in 2021 and the NHS has set out its response in the Cancer Improvement Plan for Wales.
Will the First Minister provide an update on the Welsh Government's policy on patient choice in the NHS?
Decisions related to a patient’s treatment plan in Wales are made following a clinical assessment based on the individual’s needs and available pathways. The patient and/or their families are an integral part of the clinical decision making process.
How is the First Minister ensuring that the Welsh Government prioritises tackling the housing crisis?
Delivering more homes is fundamental to my priority to provide opportunities for every family. We are tackling all forms of homelessness, working to both prevent people from losing homes and to deliver more affordable homes. Only by doing both, we can achieve our ambitions.
How is the Welsh Government supporting families with children undergoing cancer treatment with travel costs to attend appointments?
The Welsh Ambulance Service Trust offers free transport for patients attending an oncology appointment as part of the Non-Emergency Patient Transport Service
