Any Other Business Changeover The
Llywydd asked Business Managers to remind Members to leave the Chamber quickly,
and those coming in not to do so until the bell has been rung. This will allow
cleaners and ICT staff to work more efficiently and safely. Written
questions Siân
Gwenllian raised the issue of the quality of written answers being received
from the government, and asked for it to be discussed at a future meeting. The
Llywydd asked Business Managers to speak to officials individually to find out
what the issues are, in order to inform a paper for a future meeting. Transferred
Question Darren
Millar raised the issue of the transfer of Gareth Davies’ question for written
answer by the government, from the Minister for Education and the Welsh
Language to the Minister for Health and Social Services. The question relates
to medical education in north Wales, which is currently within the Education
and Welsh Language portfolio. The Trefnydd said that the government considered
this a matter for the Minister for Health and Social Services given that
developing medical education in north Wales requires an exploration of wider
health matters. |
