    17 April 2020 page 1 of 4 By email only Rebecca Evans AM Minister for Finance and Trefnydd [email protected] Ken Skates AM Minister for Economy, Transport and North Wales [email protected] Dear Ministers, Ms Evans AM and Mr Skates AM Dental practices and critical need for business support We need to bring to your attention the precarious position of many dental practices operating in Wales that have lost substantial private income sources overnight since all routine dentistry was halted from mid-March in response to COVID-19. Dental practices are independent businesses and are exposed to many of the same financial conditions that other types of businesses have faced with lockdown, but without the same eligibility for government support. The new Economic Resilience Fund in Wales launching today is unlikely to help many practices because the scheme is clearly aimed at businesses with employees rather than contractors. Most dentists in General Dentistry in England and Wales are contractors not employees. The same is true for dental therapists and hygienists. Moreover, many dentists have been personally financially exposed due to lack of any support for their private income loss, if normally earning over £50K. While the Minister for Health and Social Services has acted promptly to put in place a financial support scheme for General Dental Practices, the support is only with respect to the NHS component of contract income and then only at 80% of normal contract value for the duration of the COVID-19 lockdown measures. At the same time practices are required to pay their staff 100% of their NHS earnings.

  • Letter to First Minister Re Testing
    HOUSE OF COMMONS LONDON SW1A 0AA Mark Drakeford AM First Minister Welsh Government 5th Floor Tŷ Hywel Cardiff Bay CF99 1NA 30th April 2020 Dear Mark We write with alarm in respect to the disparity that now exists in Covid-19 testing availability between England and Wales. The UK Government has announced testing in England is now being offered in the community setting to all of the following groups, where symptoms are present: • All key workers, including NHS and social care workers • Anyone over 65 • Anyone who in employment but whose work cannot be done from home • Anyone who lives with someone who falls into one of the above categories In addition, testing is now being made available for the following with or without symptoms: • Social care workers and residents in care homes, both to investigate outbreaks and, following successful pilots, as part of a rolling programme to test all care homes • NHS workers and patients, in line with NHS England guidance Testing in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland can already be arranged through a UK Government online portal. In stark contrast, community testing availability in Wales is for symptomatic key workers (or household members) only. A different web-based booking system is being developed “to meet the specific needs in Wales”. Initially it will only serve Cardiff and Newport, with online bookings being “phased in” elsewhere in Wales. HOUSE OF COMMONS LONDON SW1A 0AA As a result of this disparity in Covid-19 testing availability, some of our constituents will unnecessarily contract Covid infection, while others will spend avoidable time self-isolating, and off work.

  • Levelling up Innovation
    Levelling up Innovation Francesca Fraser | Will Holloway James Blagden About Onward Onward is a campaigning thinktank whose mission is to develop new ideas for the next generation of centre right thinkers and leaders. We exist to make Britain fairer, more prosperous and more united, by generating a new wave of modernising ideas and a fresh kind of politics that reaches out to new groups of people. We believe in a mainstream conservatism – one that recognises the value of markets and supports the good that government can do, is unapologetic about standing up to vested interests, and assiduous in supporting the hardworking, aspirational and those left behind. Our goal is to address the needs of the whole country: young as well as old; urban as well as rural; and for all parts of the UK – particularly places that feel neglected or ignored in Westminster. We will achieve this by developing practical policies that work. Our team has worked both at a high level in government and for successful thinktanks. We know how to produce big ideas that resonate with policymakers, the media and the public. We will engage ordinary people across the country and work with them to make our ideas a reality. Onward is an independent, not-for-profit thinktank, registered in England and Wales (Company Registration no. 11326052). Thanks The authors would like to thank Sir Mick Davis and the Blavatnik Family Foundation for their support for Onward’s Levelling Up programme. The authors would also like to thank everyone who has contributed to the thinking and analysis within this report, including former colleagues, reviewers and parliamentarians.

  • Ten Dark Sky Policies for the Government
    All-Party Parliamentary Group for Dark Skies Ten Dark Sky Policies for the Government This is not an official publication of the House of Commons or the House of Lords. It has not been approved by either House or its committees. All-Party Parliamentary Groups are informal groups of Members of both Houses with a common interest in particular issues. The views expressed in this report are those of the group. The printing of this document was funded by the South Downs National Park Authority and CPRE, the countryside charity. The APPG for Dark Skies would like to thank the 170+ individuals and organisations who provided evidence to our consultation, as well as recognise the following organisations for their support: Foreword by our Co-Chairs “The case for controlling light pollution has scientific, educational, environmental, aesthetic and economic dimensions. It’s a deprivation for us all to never see a dark night sky. It’s not just astronomers who would miss it – just as it’s not just ornithologists who would miss songbirds if they disappeared from our gardens. Light pollution is a waste of energy too. The government should implement modest changes in the planning and regulatory system that could stem and indeed reverse the current trend. Such measures would certainly earn the gratitude of the next generation and would surely command broad support today.” Lord Rees of Ludlow OM, FRS, FREng, FMedSci, FRAS Astronomer Royal “I founded the APPG for Dark Skies shortly after being elected to Parliament so that future generations may still be able to see the stars and the Milky Way – something that is already impossible in many parts of the country.
