  • List of Relevant Ministerial Private Interests
    List of Relevant Ministerial Private Interests Welsh Government Published March 2021 INTRODUCTION Ministerial Code Under the terms of the Ministerial Code, Ministers must ensure that no conflict arises, or could reasonably be perceived to arise, between their Ministerial position and their private interests, financial or otherwise. On appointment to each new office and for each new subsequent financial year, Ministers must provide the Permanent Secretary with a full list in writing of all interests which might be thought to give rise to a conflict. Individual declarations, and a note of any action taken in respect of individual interests, are then passed to the Permanent Secretary to provide advice on any further action as appropriate. The List being published today records the position at the end of this process. Scope of the List The published list contains relevant ministerial interests current at the date of publication. It also includes any relevant Member of the Senedd declarations. Where a Minister has disposed of a relevant interest, or where they did so before taking up Ministerial office, it is not included in the List. The List sets out interests currently held by Ministers, or their close family members, which might reasonably be perceived to be directly relevant to a Minister’s ministerial responsibilities. It also provides details of charities where a Minister is a trustee or patron. In addition, Ministers may have other associations with charities or non-public organisations, for example, as constituency Member of the Senedd. Such associations may be historic, lapsed or the Minister may not be actively involved. The published list is not an account of all the interests or financial arrangements held by a Minister or members of their close family.

  • BREXIT at a GLANCE... What Happened This Week
    BREXIT AT A GLANCE... Weekly news, views and insights from the Welsh NHS Confederation Friday, 14 June Please cascade information where appropriate to your workforce and care providers What Happened This Week... This week, as you can imagine, was dominated by developments in Westminster over the Tory Leadership contest. Brexit specific developments at a UK level have been halted until a new Prime Minister is elected. This pause enables services and organisations to take stock of all the no-deal preparations that have been put in place and ensure that we are as prepared as we can be for the autumn. On Wednesday we attended the Welsh Government EU Transitional Leadership. The key areas of discussion included the future health and social care workforce and the developments in the Welsh Government’s position on Brexit. Also on this day the Welsh NHS Confederation’s Managing EU withdrawal in health and social care in Wales FAQs document was mentioned during questions in the Assembly to the Brexit Minister, Jeremy Miles, when discussing the no-deal preparations readiness of the health sector in Wales. This week we have also been looking in more detail around what the medium- and longer-term implications that Brexit has for Wales; specifically, we are focusing on the possible implications the Immigration White Paper. On Thursday representatives across the health and social care sector met to discuss how the removal of free movement will impact our sectors workforce, recruitment and service delivery.

  • BREXIT at a GLANCE... What Happened This Week
    BREXIT AT A GLANCE... Weekly news, views and insights from the Welsh NHS Confederation Friday, 20 September Please cascade information where appropriate to your workforce and care providers What Happened This Week... With less than 6 weeks to go until Brexit, UK Parliament remains prorogued, with little progress being shown. The Supreme Court case determining whether prorogation is lawful concluded, with the ruling due early next week. EU officials publicly rejected Boris Johnson’s claim that “a huge amount of progress” was being made in Brexit talks, as the President of the European Commission warned that time is running out, if a deal was to be made. However, in Wales there have been some subtle but significant shifts. Welsh Government published their no-deal action plan, in response to the UK Government’s Yellowhammer documents. One of the key actions included, investing in a new NHS warehouse to provide additional storage capacity for medical devices. The plan sets out the potential consequences of a no deal Brexit on all aspects of Welsh life. The plan summarises the measures being taken to help to limit some of the worst effects of leaving without a deal. We attended the EU Transition Health and Social Services Leadership and SRO Group meetings at Welsh Government. The Welsh NHS Confederation are committed to working with our members and the Welsh Government to ensure the health and care sector are fully prepared in the possibility of a no- deal Brexit. EU citizen living in Wales and who are concerned about applying for EU settled-status should look at the new Immigration Advice Service launched by Welsh Government and immigration specialists Newfields Law.

  • Brexit at a Glance
    BREXIT AT A GLANCE... Weekly news, views and insights from the Welsh NHS Confederation Friday, 5th July Please cascade information where appropriate to your workforce and care providers What Happened This Week... This week was one of the busiest in recent weeks for Brexit questions and debates in Westminster. Topics this week ranged from EU law making procedures, to questions around the Shared Prosperity Fund, Settled Status and asylum seekers. Our team has continued to keep an ear to the ground on the latest developments. We participated in an Institute for Government livestream which discussed if the UK could cope with a no deal Brexit, particularly in relation to trade deals, borders and information on goods. One of the main issues raised at the event was around Settled Status and the transfer of people and skills. We also attended the Welsh Government Horizon 2020 annual event where representatives from universities, businesses and other sectors gathered for a series of presentations and a panel discussion regarding Wales’ position within the current Horizon 2020 funding programme and what the future of EU funding might look like for Wales in a post Brexit environment. It was clear that research and innovation across sectors make up a significant part of Wales’ identity and is strongly valued on the international stage. If you have any questions about the Brexit process, please see our FAQs page for more details which have been updated this week to include written statements from the UK Government on medicine contingency supplies as well as Welsh Government updates.

  • No Deal Brexit and the Union
    No Deal Brexit and the Union Image area Image to come to top of picture box Akash Paun | Jess Sargeant James Wilson | Joe Owen About this report This report considers the potential implications for devolution and the Union of leaving the EU without a deal. It looks at how the UK government and devolved administrations have prepared for a no deal Brexit, what issues they will need to manage in the aftermath, and how long-term risks to the Union can be mitigated.

Mitigating the risks to the Union 27 References 38 List of figures Figure 1: Changing attitudes in Northern Ireland 28 3 Summary Brexit has put a strain on relations between the nations of the UK. A no deal departure from the EU could take it to breaking point. The Scottish and Welsh governments have felt increasingly side-lined since 2016 and, aside from the DUP, voices from Northern Ireland have been unrepresented in the Brexit process. While the devolved administrations have been vocal in their opposition to leaving the EU without a deal, the UK government has committed to leaving the EU on the 31 October “come what may”. This runs counter to the prime minister’s commitment to strengthen the Union Preparing for no deal • The UK government and the devolved administrations have undertaken substantial work to prepare for no deal and mitigate any negative effects.

  • Letter to Dr Seimon Brooks from Julie James MS and Jeremy Miles
    Julie James AS/MS Y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd Minister for Climate Change Jeremy Miles AS/MS Gweinidog y Gymraeg ac Addysg Minister for Education and Welsh Language Dr Seimon Brooks [email protected] 6 July 2021 Dear Dr Brooks, Welsh Government Ministers previously welcomed your well-balanced and timely report Second Homes: developing new policies in Wales. The report, commissioned by the Hywel Teifi Academy, Swansea University, also incorporated policy recommendations which the then Minister for Mental Health, Well-being and the Welsh Language had asked you to develop. We are very grateful to you for doing that and want to record and repeat our thanks. Your report has proved invaluable in highlighting the adverse impact that disproportionate numbers of second homes can have on communities, particularly in the context of the Welsh language. The recommendations you made have been particularly useful in underpinning the actions that we will take in the coming weeks and beyond. This government will tackle these challenges head on. Ensuring that local people can live affordably in the communities in which they grew up, and the health and vitality of Welsh as a thriving community language, are top priorities for the Welsh Government. You will also be aware that our Programme for Government includes a number of commitments in this regard, not least the hugely ambitious pledge to deliver an additional 20,000 low carbon homes for social rent across Wales and the development of a Welsh Language Communities Housing Plan. Before moving on to our practical response, we wanted to give some context to our general approach and aims, reflecting your over-arching recommendations.
