Questions For - First Minister
Will the First Minister make a statement on the provision of gynaecological care in north Wales?
We have seen substantial reductions in waiting times for gynaecology referrals and treatments in north Wales because of the additional investment in planned care this year. Waits for out-patient appointments have reduced and the number of patients waiting over two years has reduced by 52 per cent since the peak. In the last month 421 women were informed they did not have gynaecological cancer, and 19 women commenced cancer treatment.
Will the First Minister make a statement on the work of Cardiff Health Partners?
I welcome the recent launch of Cardiff Health Partners, which supports regional collaboration between the NHS, academia and industry in south-east Wales. The Welsh Government supports the partnership vision to combine expertise to improve health outcomes and drive innovation.
What preparations has the Welsh Government made for removing ultra-processed foods from public procurement?
The Welsh Government is working with the supply chain to support Welsh food businesses prepare for, and adapt to, changes brought about by the updated healthy eating regulations. Our food innovation centres offer support to reformulate products. Schools and hospitals in Wales are encouraged to move away from lowest cost approaches in food procurement and place more emphasis on quality, sustainability and provenance, as per the guidance provided.
How will the Welsh Government support infrastructure improvements in Blaenau Gwent to enhance connectivity and services?
We want to give local leaders a greater say over investment in transport priorities. The new regional transport plans will allow regions to build on the improvements delivered through metro to improve connectivity and drive regeneration and growth.
