The cancer delivery plan published in November 2016 sets out our vision for cancer services and outcomes in Wales to match the best in Europe. This includes a renewed focus on detecting cancer earlier, making it more likely that treatment can be curative, less intensive and less expensive.

The number of hours worked by community health council members will obviously vary. However, for members who are appointed by Welsh Ministers, a guideline time commitment of between three and five days per month is provided. I am grateful to all CHC members for the valuable work that they do.

This is a matter for health boards and NHS trusts as employers and Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs. HMRC have recently changed their regulations and the NHS is working with them on implementation of the revised regulations. Officials have monitored the position ensuring chief executives are taking action.

The provision of patient hotels is a matter for health boards to determine. Welsh Government expects that any environment provided for patients is safe and clinically appropriate.

We recognise the importance of breastfeeding and are committed to increasing breastfeeding rates and this issue remains a priority for Public Health Wales. I recently asked my officials and the Royal College of Midwives to facilitate a task and finish group to explore ways to further improve uptake and provide support to families.
The cabinet is the group of twenty or so (and no more than 22) senior government ministers who are responsible for running the departments of state and deciding government policy.
It is chaired by the prime minister.
The cabinet is bound by collective responsibility, which means that all its members must abide by and defend the decisions it takes, despite any private doubts that they might have.
Cabinet ministers are appointed by the prime minister and chosen from MPs or peers of the governing party.
However, during periods of national emergency, or when no single party gains a large enough majority to govern alone, coalition governments have been formed with cabinets containing members from more than one political party.
War cabinets have sometimes been formed with a much smaller membership than the full cabinet.
From time to time the prime minister will reorganise the cabinet in order to bring in new members, or to move existing members around. This reorganisation is known as a cabinet re-shuffle.
The cabinet normally meets once a week in the cabinet room at Downing Street.
