Prif Weinidog Cymru (Carwyn Jones): Cabinet Secretaries, myself and officials have met or otherwise communicated extensively with the Department for Exiting the European Union and other UK Government departments engaged on Brexit work since the EU referendum. These discussions range across the full range of issues concerning the consequences for Wales of a UK exit from the EU, including devolved matters and those issues which, while not devolved, have a major impact on life in Wales. I expect this extensive contact to develop and continue during the period ahead. I discussed the key Welsh Government priorities for Brexit in July with the Prime Minister, who has ultimate responsibility for Brexit arrangements. Work is also in progress to establish a new forum on EU negotiation as part of the existing Joint Ministerial Committee (JMC) structure. Many aspects of the Welsh Government’s work are impacted by Brexit and a wide tranche of officials across Government are engaged in this work.

Y Gweinidog dros Sgiliau a Gwyddoniaeth (Julie James): I met with Shirley Davis-Fox and Keith Davies (former AM) last September in my then capacity as Deputy Minister for Skills and Technology to discuss this very issue. Shirley Davis-Fox leads the campaign in Wales and across the UK in her capacity as Hair Council Political Director.

There has been a long-term and determined campaign to make state registration mandatory to try and prevent unqualified hairdressers from setting up a salon and practising without suitable training and qualifications. 

This has been an ongoing discussion but our Welsh Government position has remained consistent and resolute - issues of industry regulation and health and safety law are non-devolved matters and, as such, they must be handled at a UK level.

A parliamentary debate (January 2015) rejected calls for a compulsory state register for hairdressers when the then Works and Pensions Minister, Mark Harper, said the move would not guarantee the quality of hairdressers.

An All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Hair Industry was set up last year with the support of a number of MPs. The establishment of this group is seen as a positive step towards gathering further industry support for the campaign.

My officials are in ongoing dialogue with Shirley Davis-Fox and will keep me updated on developments.

Gofyn i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Iechyd, Llesiant a Chwaraeon

Adam Price (Dwyrain Caerfyrddin a Dinefwr):  A wnaiff y Gweinidog ddatganiad am nifer a lleoliad y practisys deintyddol yn ardal Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Hywel Dda sy'n derbyn cleifion newydd y GIG ar hyn o bryd? (WAQ70880)

Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Iechyd, Llesiant a Chwaraeon (Vaughan Gething): There has been a year-on-year increase in the number of people accessing NHS dental services in Hywel Dda University Health Board area with over 43,000 additional NHS patients now regularly receiving NHS care when compared to the position in 2006.

It is important to note access to dental services can fluctuate as it is dependent on the capacity of individual practices and contractual commitments which change on a regular basis. In addition to dental practices offering routine NHS services, the Health Board also commissions three Routine Access Services which are located in Milford Haven, Cross Hands and Llanelli.  These centres always accept new patients and provide the full range of NHS general dental services.

Hywel Dda University Health Board has acknowledged there are some access pressures, and with £0.5m additional recurrent funding from Welsh Government, is working to improve access to NHS dental services. The Health Board is in the process of commissioning additional NHS capacity. This has included a new NHS dental service opened in Pembroke in January 2016, which together with an on-going tendering exercise, will provide NHS dental services for 6,500 patients.
