Weinidog yr Economi, Gwyddoniaeth a Thrafnidiaeth (Edwina Hart): Our published indicators contain a target for 2014/15 of 160 enterprises financially supported and assisted. These can be new or existing enterprises. We have not set a target for new enterprises created in Enterprise Zones which could result from proactive enquires, through existing relationships or via the Business Wales Helpline.

Llyr Gruffydd (Gogledd Cymru): O gofio’r ffaith, o dan newidiadau a wnaed i ddeddfwriaeth Llywodraeth y DU, y bydd Meddyg Teulu claf yn Lloegr yn llwytho gwybodaeth bersonol y gellir adnabod claf ohoni i’r gweinyddion canolog yn y Ganolfan Gwybodaeth Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol, gallai NHS England ddefnyddio’r wybodaeth at ‘ddibenion eilaidd’ y gellid eu rhannu â thrydydd partïon e.e. prifysgolion, elusennau ayyb, a wnaiff y Gweinidog gadarnhau neu wadu os yw'n bwriadu llunio rhaglen debyg i rannu gwybodaeth am gleifion?

Mark Drakeford: The Welsh Government is advised by Public Health England (PHE - formerly the Health Protection Agency [HPA]) in relation to the protection of communities from chemical and radiation hazards. PHE’s position with regard to Electro-Magnetic Syndrome (also referred to as Electro Sensitivity [ES] and Electro Hypersensitivity [EHS]) is that there is still no convincing scientific evidence that exposures to electro-magnetic and other radio technologies affect human health at levels below internationally agreed guidelines.
PHE publishes comprehensive reviews of the scientific evidence relevant to radio wave exposures and health and keeps the science continuously under review. The most recent PHE-backed review, undertaken by the independent Advisory Group on Non-ionising Radiation (AGNIR), was published in April 2012. The AGNIR report carefully assessed whether certain people are especially sensitive to exposures to RF fields, leading to unpleasant symptoms which affect their health. AGNIR concludes there is increasing evidence that RF fields below guideline levels do not cause symptoms and cannot be detected by people, even those who consider themselves sensitive to RF fields. PHE agrees with AGNIR that this does not undermine the symptoms that are experienced, but it does suggest causes other than those directly related to RF fields should be considered.
On the basis of the current PHE advice the Welsh Government’s position on “Electro-Magnetic Syndrome” remains unchanged, and I therefore do not intend to make a statement.
