Health inequalities faced by children in Wales Health inequalities faced by children in Wales: “If we want a healthy population, we need healthy children, and if we want healthy children, we must tackle childhood poverty” – Sioned Williams MS

If we want a healthy population, we need healthy children, and if we want healthy children, we must tackle childhood poverty.

The arts are not a drain, they're a driver – for wellbeing, the local economy, and giving us a sense of identity.

A bilingual graphic with text: "In the Senedd I called again on the First Minister to support Plaid Cymru’s calls for a direct child payment which is proven to lift children out of poverty. My team and I held a community surgery in Carnegie Hall in Skewen and helped residents with their concerns. I chaired the cross-party group on Violence Against Women and Children where we heard presentations from RASA (Rape and Sexual Abuse) Support Centre and the NSPCC. I welcomed Esther Harper from Ysgol Gymraeg Ystalyfera Bro Dur to the Senedd, winner. of Swansea University’s Morgan Institute Challenge in 2024, to learn more about my role as a Member of the Senedd. I spoke in the Plaid Cymru Senedd debate on the performance of the UK Labour Government after a year in power, calling out their continuation of austerity politics which disproportionately impacts Wales. At the top right is a small circular picture of Sioned standing under a sign which reads "Skewen Library."

Shameful legislation, shameless process….

Today is 5yrs since the Cumberlege report. @welshgovernment.bsky.social remain silent, failing to advocate for those harmed by Valporate. Families in Wales must not be left behind, we deserve justice too. We must be allowed to heal.

Di-gyfeiriad ac heb weledigaeth.

Flwyddyn ers i Lafur ddod i rym yn San Steffan, a chyn dadl @plaidcymru.bsky.social yn y Senedd yr wythnos hon ar eu perfformiad, rhannais fy marn ar BBC Radio Wales ar sut mae Llywodraeth y DG wedi siomi pobl Cymru.

Directionless and visionless.

A year since Labour came to power in Westminster and ahead of @plaidcymru.bsky.social's Senedd debate this week on their performance, I shared my views on BBC Radio Wales on how the UK Government have let the people of Wales down.

A bilingual graphic detailing five highlights from Sioned Williams' week, including calling on the Welsh Government to seek guarantees from the UK Labour Government that disabled people in Wales won’t be worse off following their review of PIP payments, visiting Crymlyn Bog, taking part in a Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health Wales panel discussion at the Senedd, holding a street surgery in Bryncoch and attending a service in the Senedd to mark the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica Genocide. The words are in white, and set over an image of Sioned speaking in the Senedd Chamber, which is faded to a dark green.

From a designated children’s health plan, to introducing a child payment that’s proven to tackle child poverty, I was proud to be able to discuss in a RCPCH Wales event at the Senedd yesterday, how a Plaid Cymru government would tackle the health inequalities children face in Wales.

Sioned Williams MS stands with Sarah Rees from Oxfam Cymru and others holding up a long red “line” of material. Sioned and Sarah are also holding a sign that says “From Cymru to Palestine, we are the red line.” They are outside the Senedd.

Sioned Williams MS stands with other members of the Plaid Cymru Senedd group at the red line protest. They are all behind the red “line” which is a long strip of material they are holding up that is covering from their feet up to their chests, so that you can only see their head and shoulder above the line. There is also a large banner that says “Sancsiynau Nawr / Sanctions Now” that is being held in front of the red line. They are in front of the Senedd.

I joined Oxfam Cymru at the red line protest around the Senedd today to call for a full arms embargo against Israel and an end to the genocide in Gaza.

Ymunais â’r llinell goch o amgylch y Senedd i alw am ddiwedd i’r hil-laddiad yn Gaza.

Gwych gweld siwd angerdd a dealltwriaeth am yr angen i fynd i'r afael â thlodi ac anghydraddoldeb - diolch am eich cwestiynau ardderchog!

Wonderful to speak with members of the Welsh Youth Parliament at their regional conference in Swansea today.

Great to see such passion and knowledge about the need to tackle poverty and inequality - diolch for your excellent questions!

A graphic that shows a picture of Sioned Williams MS to the right, on a black background, and on the left is a quote from Sioned (in Welsh): Mae'n siomedig bod holl Aelodau Seneddol Llafur Cymru yn ein hardal ni, a Llywodraeth Lafur Cymru, unwaith eto'n methu â sefyll lan dros degwch i Gymru - gan groesawu "consesiynau" Starmer heb unrhyw asesiad effaith. Mae cefnogi'r system ddwy haen arfaethedig hon yn parhau'r anghyfiawnder sylfaenol sydd wrth wraidd y cynlluniau hyn - sy'n doriadau yn hytrach na diwygiadau. Mae angen dileu'r bil hwn a datblygu cynllun sy'n mynd i'r afael â rhwystrau i gyflogaeth ac yn datblygu system les deg, gyda lleisiau pobl anabl wrth galon y gwaith hwnnw." At the top of the graphic are two screenshots of BBC articles about the changes Keir Starmer has made to his welfare reforms, that have been criticised by some Labour voices.

Mae cefnogi'r system ddwy haen arfaethedig hon yn parhau'r anghyfiawnder sylfaenol sydd wrth wraidd y cynlluniau hyn - sy'n doriadau yn hytrach na diwygiadau.

Tro pedol budd-daliadau Llywodraeth y DU 'ddim yn ddigon' Mae Aelod Seneddol Llafur o Gymru yn dweud nad yw'r newidiadau i gynlluniau budd-daliadau Llywodraeth y DU

Mae'n siomedig bod holl Aelodau Seneddol Llafur Cymru yn ein hardal ni, a Llywodraeth Lafur Cymru, unwaith eto'n methu â sefyll lan dros degwch i Gymru - gan groesawu "consesiynau" Starmer heb unrhyw asesiad effaith.

A graphic that shows a picture of Sioned Williams to the right next to her quote "Disappointing that all the Welsh Labour MPs in our area, and the Labour Welsh Government, are again failing to stand up for fairness for Wales - welcoming Starmer’s “concessions” without any impact assessment. Backing this proposed two tiered system perpetuates the fundamental injustice at the heart of these plans - which are cuts, not reforms. This bill needs to be scrapped and a plan which tackles longstanding barriers to employment and develops a fair and supportive welfare system developed, with the voices of disabled people at the centre of that work.". At the top are two screenshots of articles about the PM's changes to welfare reform not being enough, according to some Labour voices.
