📈 Issues like obesity put strain on health services. Nesta say the figure for adult obesity rates in Wales is 34%.

👨‍⚕️ Prevention is better than cure and primary care has a big role to play.

👍 Thanks to Peter Fox OBE MS for focusing on preventative care in his short debate.

🗣️ Sam Rowlands MS: “I want to see more GPs trained up and kept in Wales as part of a substantial workforce plan, but we can only achieve that if we spend every penny received for health on our Welsh NHS, which the Labour Government still isn’t.”

We would like to welcome Mark Drakeford 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 and Sam Rowlands MS to the Committee, we look forward to working with them both.

📉 Far too many people in North Wales are unable to access an NHS dentist.

👎 Despite raising it 12 months ago with the Minister, things haven't improved!

🦷 When people are being forced to pull out their own teeth, it's clear there is a crisis.

🛑 Labour’s blanket 20mph speed limits have been costly and unpopular.

🛑 The Labour Welsh Government should use common sense and ditch it immediately!

The Labour Welsh Government is constantly making the wrong political decisions with your money.

Would you prefer more politicians or more doctors and nurses?

👍 Pleased that Welsh Parliament backed the Welsh Conservatives 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 motion on the Ombudsman this week.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 The people of Wales need to regain faith in the Ombudsman as an impartial body.

📑 Finance Committee should urgently review the Ombudsman's operations, processes and investigations.

Excellent visit to Lower Treginnis - Farms for City Children with Paul Davies MS/AS 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

They know the value of outdoor education and how it changes lives for young people.

It was also a great reminder of how many excellent outdoor education sites we have in Wales!

📚 Enjoyed a cracking visit to the fabulous National Library of Wales today with my colleague Sam Rowlands MS.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 It's always a delight to see treasures from our national archives!

💷 We must continue to invest in our cultural institutions.

We are disappointed the Residential Outdoor Education Bill did not progress to allow further discussion and refinements, but we are encouraged that all parties acknowledged the vital importance of outdoor education and the benefits it offers to young people across Wales. (1/2)

Devastated for Wales' young people. This Bill offered long-term health & wellbeing benefits they deserve. Thanks for your tireless effort Sam Rowlands MS. We must keep pushing for positive change. #letusout

🏥 It was good to visit St Kentigern Hospice in St Asaph with Sam Rowlands MS and Gareth Davies MS/AS last week.

Hope this backed in the Welsh Parliament today to expand the educational opportunities for Welsh pupils.

Today's an important day for outdoor education in Wales. If the Residential Outdoor Education Bill is passed, it has the potential to impact countless young lives. Thank you for championing the outdoors Sam, and best of luck today. 🍀 #letusout

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 In the Welsh Parliament today, there will be a debate on the general principles of Sam Rowlands MS' Residential Outdoor Education Bill.

✅ We're calling on Senedd Members to back this Bill and give all schoolchildren a life-changing experience.

❌️ The Welsh Public Services Ombudsman has been shown to have made serious errors of judgement in recent weeks.

⚖️ As judge and jury for public services and Councillor conduct, the Ombudsman needs to be rigorously impartial.
