Ken Skates: We are making progress on the transfer of ownership of the Valley Lines to the Welsh Government. We have engaged with the UK Government to develop the principles of the asset transfer.

Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi a'r Seilwaith (Ken Skates): I will publish a summary of the key requirements the Welsh Government is expecting for future Wales and Borders rail service with sufficient detail to allow the plans to be understood. The level of detail we are able to publish will have regard to the competitive dialogue process undertaken by Transport for Wales, where we have a duty to treat bidders fairly and equally, adhere to procurement legislation, and achieve value for money for public expenditure from the procurement.
I also intend to publish a version of the entire contract post award, along with the tender specification.

Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Iechyd, Llesiant a Chwaraeon (Vaughan Gething): NHS Wales Health Boards have provided funding for 36 patients to receive sacral nerve stimulation at specialist centres outside of Wales. A small number of patients received this treatment in Welsh Health Boards but the numbers are not recorded nationally.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has recommended sacral nerve stimulation as possible management for faecal incontinence following the failure of conservative treatment and advises the procedure should be undertaken in specialised units.
A multidisciplinary task and finish group, chaired by Ms. Julie Cornish, consultant colorectal surgeon at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital, who is a specialist in this work, is being established to explore the options for developing Wales-wide services for women with faecal incontinence and Welsh Government officials are working with Ms. Cornish to develop terms of reference and a reporting timeframe for this group.
