Ken Skates: I have met with the Managing Director and other board members of 2 Sisters Red Meat Ltd.  I remain concerned to ensure that the consultation period, which is scheduled to conclude later this week, results in the smallest possible impact for staff engaged in the product packing facility at the abattoir in Merthyr Tydfil.  My officials remain engaged with the company to offer support in this respect.  I have been assured by the Managing Director, however, that the slaughter and deboning activities at Merthyr are not impacted by the company’s review of its operations across its red meat estate.  As such, I am satisfied that the rest of the Merthyr plant’s operations will be unaffected.

Gweinidog dros Sgiliau a Gwyddoniaeth (Julie James): As stated in previous responses on the matter, we have already pre-empted the proposed UK Government broadband USO by establishing in Wales the Access Broadband Cymru grant scheme and Ultrafast Connectivity Voucher scheme which provides funding to access broadband. Those properties not covered by market investment, or by the roll out of Superfast Cymru, can access the scheme now to improve their situation.
 
We are currently assessing the responses to the recent consultation with the telecoms industry in relation to an additional £12.9 million to extend the reach of the Superfast Cymru project next year. This is the amount that BT forecasted last year will be returned to the public purse through a gain-share clause within the current Superfast Cymru contract.
 
A further Open Market Review process is already underway to identify any remaining unserved premises. Only once the outcome of the review has been analysed will we be in a position to confirm both whether and how a new procurement to provide access for further premises can be taken forward. Procurement activity could take place during 2017 with a new contract to commence in early 2018.

Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Iechyd, Llesiant a Chwaraeon (Vaughan Gething): In my written statement on 6 September, I committed to make a decision on the future of the clinical response model by the end of March 2017, following consideration of the final report from the independent evaluation of the model. I will not pre-empt any recommendations made in the report, including any changes to the future categorisation of calls, nor will I re-categorise clinical conditions without clinical evidence and advice that it is appropriate to do so.
A definitive list of the categorisations for clinical conditions in red, amber and green categories is held by WAST.
It is important to consider that the cause and clinical severity of conditions such as shortness of breath and chest pains can vary and will require call handlers to assess the patient’s condition and circumstances and categorise the call accordingly. As such, the criteria for the categorisation of calls will not always be rigidly applied unless the patient’s clinical condition and individual circumstances support this. For example, heart attacks and strokes may be categorised within the Red or the Amber category according to their relative clinical severity. 
 
Andrew RT Davies (Canol De Cymru):  A wnaiff y Gweinidog ddatganiad am y saith mis cyntaf ers gweithredu'r Ddeddf  Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant, gan gyfeirio'n benodol at sut y mae'n bwriadu mynd i'r afael â'r cynnydd o 11 y cant mewn oedi wrth drosglwyddo gofal ers 2012? (WAQ71664)
