  • Impact of the Recent Welsh Election for Wales
    Welsh Refugee Council Empowering asylum seekers and refugees to build new futures in Wales Title: Impact of the Senedd Elections 2021 in Wales As the dust settles on what has been an unusual election for the Welsh Senedd, dominated as it was by the continuing effects of the coronavirus pandemic, we reflect on what this means for refugees and asylum seekers in Wales. Going into these elections, the three main parties’ manifestos had little to say on asylum. This was despite the major changes to the system being considered by the Home Office and an ongoing debate about the suitability of housing asylum seekers in accommodation like Penally military training camp. Both Welsh Labour and Plaid Cymru committed to retaining the Nation of Sanctuary initiative but made few other references to the issue. Plaid did commit to ending the ‘no recourse to public funds’ rules which prevent most asylum seekers from accessing the benefits system, but the powers to do this sit with Westminster rather than the Senedd. The Welsh Conservatives made no mention of asylum at all. Whilst this lack of attention might be understandable given the all-consuming focus on Covid-19, refugees and asylum seekers in Wales continue to face significant challenges, many exacerbated by the pandemic. The minimal discussion of refugee and asylum issues by all parties in this election is worrying. Given this lack of attention, what impact will the outcome of the elections have in Wales? 1. A Welsh Labour minority government means the Nation of Sanctuary initiative is likely to continue. Jane Hutt MS has been appointed as Minister for Social Justice with responsibility for asylum issues, and as Deputy Minister in the previous government Jane was heavily involved in the development of the Nation of Sanctuary initiative.

  • Ministers Reflect Jane Hutt
    Ministers Reflect Jane Hutt 13 September 2018 Biographical details Welsh Assembly history 1999–present: Labour Party Assembly Member for Vale of Glamorgan Welsh government career 2018–present: Chief Whip 2016–17: Leader of the House and Chief Whip 2011–16: Minister for Finance 2009–11: Minister for Business and Budget 2007–09: Minister for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills 2007: Minister for Budget and Assembly Business 2005–07: Minister for Assembly Business and Chief Whip 1999–2005: Minister for Health and Social Services 2 MINISTERS REFLECT Jane Hutt was interviewed by Akash Paun and Tess Kidney Bishop on 13 September 2018 for the Institute for Government’s Ministers Reflect project. Jane Hutt talks about taking responsibility for crises as Health Minister and striking deals with opposition parties as Chief Whip and Finance Minister. Reflecting on the transfer of powers to Wales over her time in government, she calls for “powers for a purpose”. Tess Kidney Bishop (TKB): If we could go back to 1999, can you tell us how you were appointed as the Health Minister? Jane Hutt (JH): Well, it was ‘hit the ground running’ really. We were elected on the Thursday. Labour had the largest number of seats and [Alun] Michael was deputed to be the First Secretary as we called them then. He had to decide whether he could go on and form a minority administration. Within days he then appointed his Cabinet of Labour ministers. Andrew Davies was one, and he appointed me to be Health and Social Services Minister. Obviously everybody knew each other very well.

  • Jane Hutt MS Deputy Minister and Chief Whip Welsh Government By
    Jane Hutt MS Deputy Minister and Chief Whip Welsh Government By email 10 June 2020 Dear Minister, As you know, pharmacy staff are making a vital contribution to the NHS response during COVID-19 and are showing extraordinary dedication to supporting patient care. We have welcomed the commitment of the Welsh Government to supporting the profession during the pandemic in coping with unprecedented challenges. We are aware that the Welsh Government has recognised that people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds are being disproportionately affected by COVID-19. We welcome the establishment of the BAME expert advisory group to lead on this important agenda in Wales and are also supportive of the recent launch of the all-Wales COVID-19 Workforce Risk Assessment Tool. I am sure you will appreciate that with 43% of registered pharmacists across Great Britain having BAME backgrounds, pharmacy teams are understandably concerned by the prevalence of COVID-19 among the BAME community. The recent findings of the Public Health England report on 'Disparities in the risk and outcomes of COVID-19’ have increased anxieties among the profession. At the time of writing, four pharmacy team members in Great Britain have died with COVID-19. Three of them from BAME backgrounds. This has caused great sadness in the profession, as well as questions about how teams can be protected. The past few weeks have highlighted the longstanding issue of discrimination experienced by people from BAME backgrounds, in the UK as well as around the world. COVID-19 has also shone a spotlight on the urgent need to tackle health inequalities facing certain communities.

Notes that approximately 40 per cent of the workforce is employed in the 'Foundational Economy' supplying essential goods and services such as: infrastructures; utilities; food processing, retailing and distribution; and health, education and care. 2. Recognises that these sectors are often more resilient to external economic shocks and have considerable potential to generate greater local value from the provision of localised goods and services. 3. Regrets that many of the sectors within the Foundation Economy are marked by low paid and insecure jobs 4. Calls on the Welsh Government to develop a strategy to maximise the impact of the 'Foundational Economy' across Wales as part of its work on developing a new economic strategy, including measures to improve employment conditions in those sectors.

Elin Walker Cardiff North Hapus i gefnogi MND! Jones Happy to support MND! Julie Morgan Cardiff North I am supporting the MND Won't Wait campaign. Thank you for highlighting how crucial a prompt and accurate diagnosis of MND is. Neil McEvoy Cardiff North Patients should not have to wait the time they do. Anthony Cardiff South and Slaughter Penarth Dr Dafydd Cardiff South and I'm very pleased to support the 'MND Won't Wait' Campaign. One of the main planks of our health Trystan Davies Penarth policy is investment in diagnostic centres, waiting times across a range of serious health conditions including MND are unacceptably high, and by improving diagnosis times, patients will get better care. Name Constituency Statement Sean Driscoll Cardiff West Congratulations on the fantastic work that you do. In the event I am elected, you can be rest assured that I will be in contact to discuss your manifesto. Alistair Carmarthen West and I am very happy to champion MND in my community and if elected to the Assembly. I support a Cameron South Pembrokeshire prompt and accurate diagnosis of MND, ensuring best practice in care and support (like the new NICE guidelines) is implemented in Wales and will support local campaigns for councils to adopt the Charter.
