Questions For - First Minister
What assessment has the Welsh Government made of the impact of school-dinner debts on pupils?
No child should go hungry. Local authorities and schools should work in partnership with families experiencing difficulties with payment of school meals to find a solution to ensure no child goes without a meal at lunch time.
What urgent steps is the First Minister taking to overturn barriers to house building in Wales?
The delivery of good-quality homes across Wales is a priority for this Government. We are providing record levels of funding to support this priority and we are working in collaboration with the sector to overcome challenges.
What action is the Welsh Government taking to preserve hedgehog populations?
The Welsh Government supports a range of initiatives to help hedgehogs. This includes the provision of wildlife underpasses on trunk roads and funding local nature partnerships to co-ordinate local biodiversity action, such as providing advice and materials to communities to promote hedgehog-friendly gardens.
Will the First Minister provide an update on the Welsh Government's strategy to reduce waiting times at Glan Clwyd Hospital?
Waiting times for both elective and emergency care have shown improvements over the last year. There is still work to be done. Within the special measures regime, the health Minister has set clear targets for the next 90 days, and I expect to see continued improvements in waiting times.
