squire: Yes, King. But I never get any training. It's all "Go clean that stall" and "Go shine my armor".
king: Well, much of being a knight is taking care of one's horse, armor and weapons. You have to keep them well maintained as you depend on them in battle. I am sure that you will start learning skill at arms soon.
squire: I could try to make you one. My daddy was a blacksmith, before I was taken for service. He even let me do a bit of forging.

User Interface: I think so that is the one So it is a very short presentation because I am actually going to draw you the layout on the board so if you want to just go straight to the second slide which basically shows sort of I took the ideas that we were talking about last time and tried to put that into the remote control so the things that y you can actually see on it are the on off switch volume and channel control the menu access button ergonomic shape which I completely agree with Christines idea to have it sort of molded so it is slightly more ergonomic and comfortable to hold than the r standard very straight remote controls And actually the other thing with the wood if we take your customising idea is that people can actually do sort of quasimeasurements on their hand size so if someone has larger hands you have a wider remote control
Industrial Designer: Right my hand is different size than yours for example
User Interface: So that is actually a really good idea for customi customisability one thing I thought might be kind of interesting is to put a flip screen on it just like you have on flip phones so that you do not have this case where someone sits on the remote control or accidentally puts their hand on it especially if you have little kids around they are not pressing the buttons while you are trying to watch a TV show and accidentally change the channel or turn it off And also you had issues with the batteries running out so I thought maybe we could put a little battery lifelight on it that kind of goes dimmer and dimmer and dimmer as your battery is starts to die And in terms of invisible features audio and tactile feedback on button presses and like you said speech recognition So in terms of what this thing would actually look like Despite working in interface design I am not the greatest artist in the world so you will have to forgive me You would have something like this with an onoff switch fairly big sort of in the corner and by itself so you do not accidentally turn your TV off while you are trying to manoeuvre other buttons And then you have sort of one of those toggle displays for oops channels and volume sort of for surfing channels and then volume so the volume would be the up and down because volume goes up and down and then channels left to right And then here you would have your sort of standard telephonish number pad And then on one side you would have an access to the menu on your TV and on the other side a way to turn off the voice control So that if the user does not want to use their voice they can just turn it off and you do not have the remote control accidentally changing things on you so again you can have a little LCD light somewhere the flip thing and Have I forgotten anything ? I do not think so So as you can see it is a very very simple design which is one of the things I really wanted to keep is keep it simple not have too many buttons not have too many functionalities thrown into it Think the design can pretty much carry over to everything although with the wood the flip screen might have to do something slightly different | User Interface presented a general layout of remote control functionalities. The ergonomic shape of the remote control could raise product customizability. User Interface proposed to incorporate a flip screen and to add a LCD light to show battery life. User Interface also gave suggestions on possible positioning of the key pad. To summarize, User Interface preferred the design to be simple and clear. |

Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Yes What are your expectations for how Alevel and GCSE qualifications will be awarded this summer following the ministerial direction that you have issued to Qualifications Wales ? For example how is an appropriate balance being taken between recognising the progress of pupils in their coursework mock examinations and other work to date and also the potential of pupils who might have performed particularly well in their examinations this summer ?
Kirsty Williams AM: Well Janet I understand—and today is a day where some students would have been undertaking practical examinations—I understand how devastating it has been to both students and teachers alike for the decision I had to take to cancel this summers exam series But I am absolutely clear that was the only decision that could have been reached Qualifications Wales has made it very clear—and for people who would like more information I would urge them to look at Qualifications Waless website—how they will go about giving allocating and awarding a grade to our Alevel and GCSE students Firstly teachers will be asked to submit a grade they believe that student would have obtained should they have taken an exam And of course teachers will have a range of data and their own professional judgment that they will use in awarding that grade Teachers will also be asked to rank students in order Once that information has been submitted to Qualifications Wales there will be a process by which that data will be moderated moderated from centre to centre and across the nation thus giving us the chance to award a student a fair grade whilst being and remaining true to ensuring that we have a robust qualifications system and allowing those students who find themselves at a critical stage of their education where they are looking to move on to the next stages—that they will have the grades that will allow them to make decisions about their future | Janet Finch-Saunders AM asked about how A-level and GCSE would be awarded in alignment with Qualifications Wales and Kirsty Williams AM explained that to cancel this summer's exam series was the only clear decision although it was devastating for both students and teachers. Currently, to grade the performance, teachers would first be asked to submit a grade they believed that the student would have obtained, should they have taken an exam. And teachers would have a range of data and their own professional judgment when grading. Once that information had been submitted to Qualifications Wales, there would be a process by which that data would be moderated; moderated from centre to centre and across the nation. |

Marketing: yes I have to look at the market potential for this product like consumer likings and everything what is the potential for this product and are we able to achieve our a net profit or our aims or not ? Then
Project Manager: P press F five to start it first
Marketing: then the methodology I adopted to find out all this was market survey A a detailed market survey on consumers was done to find out their likings and dislikings what they prefer what they not prefer w what problems they do encounter in all this type of things And what we got was we found that if you what they th what problems they are having with different remote controls available in the market Seventy five percent of users they do find it that the remote controls available in the market are ugly They are not so good looking So we have to put stress on this we have to take care of this fact also like our design should be appropriate should be good looking for the consumers And yes that is wi this will definitely this can definitely put enhance our sales and even the good thing about this is that eighty percent of users they are willing to pay high pay more for this good looking remote controls also So even if the available market goes for the available even if the market goes for the available remote control is less even then we can sell it at twenty five Euros which maybe which may seem quite high but if our looks are are if the re remote control we design have a good better better look designs then we can hope that consumers will prefer these g remote controls Then And the second thing some some companies they think that they should have more and more functions of the users or in their remote controls but rather than those having more functions in the remote controls we should emphasise what actually consumer want what they operate rather than making it too complicated Because mostly it has been found that fifty percent of the users they use only ten percent of the buttons so there is no point of having ninety percent buttons making the remote controls too bulky too complicated too expensive a because I think I believe that technology is useful only if the consumers they want to use it Otherwise there is no point of having all this type of things So this will not only reduce the cost of our remote controls but it will increase our profit also So we have to take care of this fact also Then it was function I want to go to
Project Manager: Oh you want to go back ? Just escape
Marketing: escape thank you Then if we look at this slide these are in your shared documents you can see
User Interface: So sorry I was just going to say what was the question for this ? Or is are you coming on to that ?
Marketing: Ah t look all the market potential what how we should design consu our remote controls what they should be there so as to en enhance our profit enhance our sales
User Interface: So these percentages are are what ?
Marketing: these are different age group persons like sorry I can open it in another way yes If we look at the costs whether the consumers they are willing to pay more for speech recognition in a remote control or not we can find that they up to a thirty five years age group we have a very good disliking for this this point like for speech recognition in a remote control So we can emphasise on this point also like because it will definitely enhance our sales in this ag in this particular age group from fifteen to thirty five and I and I think that most of the users of the rem TV are belong to this age group So we should look
Project Manager: We are als we we are looking at who buys it as well
Marketing: We can look at that that factor also so yes
Project Manager: which I think the twenty five to thirty five is usual sort of
Marketing: Yes I think so if we look at this data how how h how what are the problems the consumers are facing with the existing remote controls in the market They find that thirt thirty five percent thirty four percent of the consumers they find too difficult to operate a remote control So it should be in such a way that it should be easy to learn how to operate these remote controls and we should provide pl spe proper manuals for its use also so as that people consumers could easily learn They need not to have any much technical knowledge to see to know how to operate these remote controls | According to Marketing, seventy-five percent of the users found the remote controls which were available now in the market were ugly. Eighty percent of the users reported having the willingness to pay high for good-looking remote controls. Thirty-four percent of the consumers considered their remote controls were too difficult to operate. What's more, some companies believed that they shall have more functions in their remote controls. However, rather than having more functions and making it complicated, they shall emphasize what actually customers wanted and what they operated. All of these market potentials were required to be taken into consideration in order to enhance profits and sales. |

Vaughan Gething AM: I personally have not read that advice but the Governments already concerned about the direct physical and mental health impact of lockdown restrictions You do not need to be a parent to recognise that that is a potential issue for children and young people But I am sure— I have not read it but that is been signposted so I can check with officials if they have and if that would change the advice and the position that we are already adopting because we do regularly look at a range of advice from a range of sources including the UN the World Health Organization and others
Lynne Neagle AM: and we are going to come onto childrens rights But as you know Minister the prevention of young suicide is a because that is very close to my heart Can I ask what assessment the Welsh Government has made of an increase in suicide amongst children and young people during this pandemic and because of this pandemic ?
Vaughan Gething AM: Apart from the general concern that I have expressed on mental health generally we are already investigating we are having a— We have commissioned through the Government the delivery unit to work with the national advisory group including Dr Ann John and other people to review the current unexpected deaths during the start of the pandemic here in Wales because we want to try to understand the wider concerns about the potential effects of the restrictions on the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people and if that is leading to a spike in suicide or not So that is why we have commissioned that review to be carried out with the current numbers of unexpected deaths that we have so we are able then to provide a report to understand where we are My understanding is that we should have a report on that review before the end of this month and obviously I know the committee ’ s got an interest so if it is helpful we can write to you once we have had a chance to receive the report and to look at it
Lynne Neagle AM: Yes please Thank you In terms of provision of crisis care then how has that been impacted by the pandemic ? Are those crisis services available for children and young people who need them at the moment ?
Vaughan Gething AM: Yes they continue to be available We still have sevendayaweek crisis care We have made clear that mental health services including those for children and young people are essential services to be provided They are not services to be scaled down They were not part of the series of measures that I stopped within the health service on 13 March We have built up those crisis care services over a period of time and the last thing we want to see is to see them disappear during this period of time when there are wellunderstood concerns about emotional and mental health
Lynne Neagle AM: thank you Moving on to perinatal mental health this morning I hosted a roundtable with the NSPCC where we heard about lots of good practice that is going on in terms of supporting new mothers and their families in this period but I wonder if you can tell the committee what you are doing as a Government to make sure that there is consistent perinatal support for all women across Wales in what is a difficult time for any new mother let alone in a pandemic
Vaughan Gething AM: We continue again to provide our perinatal mental health service That is not been stopped either We have also been looking at how that is provided on a phone or online basis where possible because again the same concerns exist about physical contact with people So we are looking to make sure that the progress is not lost that we have made We know there is more to go So the service may have changed but it still absolutely exists And again part of the challenge in all of this is about the pause or the interruption in work to create the inpatient capacity that I have previously committed to So I want to understand what that really means but again the problem is at this point in the pandemic I can not give you an answer about what that means for that inpatient provision We are still committed to it but I am concerned about the time frame—that is partly about the length and the extent But again I am really impressed by the continuing commitment of our staff to deliver this service for women in what is a particularly uncertain time It is difficult enough in terms of the challenge in terms of perinatal mental health in normal times about people being prepared to come forward and then receiving the sort of response they would want and even more so now
Lynne Neagle AM: Is the Welsh Government aware that there is apparently been a decrease in the numbers of women being willing to look at mother and baby unit provision and will you be taking that into account in your planning ? Because obviously we would not want people to think that was because of a lack of need it is down to fear and the lockdown
Vaughan Gething AM: Yes we are aware there is been a reduction in people wanting to make use of the service—or being prepared to make use of the service is probably a better phrase—because we know that is the same with a range of other areas There are not fewer people having strokes than there were at this period of time last year the reason why the figures are different is the way that people are behaving because of their concerns about coronavirus So I certainly would not be using this period of time to plan for the need that exists for a facility that we want to create So I am happy to give that assurance Chair
Lynne Neagle AM: Thank you The next questions are from Suzy Davies | Lynne Neagle pointed out that due to the outbreak of the pandemic, more people reported depression and committed suicide. To deal with the harsh problem, they might have to carry out a review over the accidental mortality through the period. At the same time, Vaughan Gething suggested that even if most public services were shut down, the mental care, especially the perinatal mental health service, could not be stopped, just in order to support the vulnerable people. |

#Person1#: Oh, your baby is so cute.
#Person2#: She's cute, but I'm very tired. She never sleep. After I gave birth, she slept a lot. Now that she's older, she is awake all night.
#Person1#: Does she cry a lot?
#Person2#: Last week, she cried every night. At work, I feel tired all the time. I took her to the doctor and he said she was healthy.
#Person1#: Yes, it's normal for babies to cry. You should hire a babysitter this weekend and sleep. | #Person2# tells #Person1# her baby is cute but it is tiring to take care of the baby. #Person1# suggests hiring a babysitter. |
