Speeches by Tufnell.

“Yes, but you do not view that as acceptable, that length of period of that—”

“I have a follow-up question about the support from the UK Government that Llinos raised. I know, Ian, that when the Chair asked at the beginning you mentioned an insurance claim that restricted you from answering certain questions. In terms of the insurance aspect of providing support to those businesses that need it a…”

“Do you have anything to add, Dr Jones?”

“I want to follow up on the implications of the storm because we have established the importance of Holyhead. Ian, do you view this as a one-off freak event? I noticed you used the words “if necessary” for the resilience point moving forward. Do you see this as a one-off event that happens and we have to deal with it bu…”

“You used the words “if necessary” to the earlier question that was put to you in respect of looking at the planning for the future from the effects of this severe weather. We have established the importance of Holyhead from a trade point of view. I was wondering whether you viewed this as a one-off event and that going…”

“You do not view the six-week period for reopening acceptable as part of the planning?”

“Just building on the topic of the survey, were you satisfied with the level of response? Will you be able to quantify that financial impact to businesses through the survey?”

“I have a follow-on on the data intelligence point. In the beginning, when you were giving evidence, you talked about that six‑day gap in respect of foot and mouth. In terms of what you have described about your data sharing, and your collaboration with DEFRA, in respect of Border Force, it is incredibly concerni…”

“Would DEFRA be monitoring any of that inland, in terms spread, or probably not?”

“Today’s announcement is a fantastic boost to British industry and British manufacturing. In my constituency we have a proud history of supporting our national security. What steps will the Minister be taking in the defence industrial strategy to support local economic growth in constituencies such as mine in west Wales…”

“I commend the Minister for her statement. I have heard from many constituents in Pembrokeshire who have been affected by these schemes, with incorrect insulations of air source heat pumps, faulty or shoddy building work, lack of valid warranties, grant misuse, and regulators such as TrustMark simply siding with the con…”

“Do you know why it would work well in certain circumstances and not in others?”

“On the treatment—”

“Stacey, you think that the IPFR is fit for purpose, and Carol, you disagree with the evidence provided by Dr Kelly that there are not discrepancies between health boards in how it is delivered and accessing specialist treatment across the border.”

“We have just taken evidence from Dr Stephen Kelly on this specific issue. He raised concerns about the variations between health boards and also in respect of the type of specialist treatment that is available. There are established pathways for certain treatments but perhaps it is more complicated for others. The firs…”

“Can I phrase it slightly differently? We talked about the variations between health boards. Is it the same in respect of English trusts? Do you get those variations between the trust referring it over to Wales and the same—”

“Finally, Stephen, are patients at a disadvantage? Is there a disadvantage if you live in Wales and are going to England, or if you live in England and are going to Wales?”

“Rachel, on patient experience, I think you referenced the dreaded IPFR. I have had constituents who have had real issues in Pembrokeshire with going through that process. Could you speak to the patient experience?”

“Does that vary across different health boards?”

“I want to turn to the issue of specialised treatment. As a consultant, Stephen, can you set out the steps you would take if a patient needed to be referred for specialist treatment in England, whether that is to do with veterans’ orthopaedics or eyes in Bristol?”
