Y Ddirprwy Weinidog Ffermio a Bwyd (Rebecca Evans): The Welsh Government relies on the expert advice of its Statutory Nature Conservation Organisation, Natural Resources Wales (NRW). A"Conservation Plan for Red Squirrels in Wales" is in place. This plan states that in areas containing red squirrels only shooting and live-capture cage trapping can be used to control grey squirrels.
The Welsh Government is also a signatory to the UK Squirrel Accord, which supports this approach.

The Group's feedback will shape the next steps to be taken.

Gofyn i'r Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol
Darren Millar (Gorllewin Clwyd): A wnaiff y Gweinidog ddatganiad am argaeledd Abraxane yn y dyfodol ar gyfer trin cleifion canser pancreatig yn y GIG yng Nghymru? (WAQ68234)

Y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol (Mark Drakeford): In September 2014 the All Wales Medicines Strategy Group (AWMSG) recommended the use of Abraxane® in combination with gemcitabine for the first-line treatment of adult patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. Abraxane® is therefore currently available for patients in Wales.
On 30 December the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) issued draft guidance not recommending the routine use of Abraxane® within the NHS in England and Wales. This guidance is now subject to a period of consultation. If the final NICE guidance does not recommend Abraxane® then this advice will normally supersede that of AWMSG.

Y Weinidog Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus (Leighton Andrews): The funding which the Department for Communities and Local Government provided for England is to fund work similar to that already being developed and delivered in Wales.
We are not seeking to create a formal network of community champions. Instead we are engaging the community and faith leaders and the wider community to raise awareness of matters relating to FGM.
An essential element of this work is community engagement. Welsh Government are working with the community to develop and deliver a community led conference in February for practicing communities to raise knowledge and awareness of:
- the social, legal, medical and mental consequences of practicing FGM.
- support services available to those at risk and survivors in Wales; and
- to empower people and communities to speak out and ensure they commit to not undertaking it.
Education, Health and Social Services all have their part to play in helping to tackle FGM and in Wales all Local Health Boards have established a designated FGM lead as part of their safeguarding portfolio. These are responsible for raising awareness and ensuring pathways are dealing effectively with victims of FGM.
The Safeguarding in Education Guidance, published January 2015 includes a full chapter on 'Safeguarding Responsibilities in specific circumstances' and highlights the issue of FGM, providing detailed information on the risk indicators and ensuring teachers and all working in education have the confidence and knowledge to tackle FGM. The Guidance sets out the role of the designated senior person (DSP) with lead responsibility for managing child protection issues and cases. The DSP acts as a point of contact and a source of support, advice and expertise within the educational establishment
