Homegrown NHS law and badge recognition
Would be silly of me to let this day end without mentioning a further landmark in the future of Wales
The first piece of Welsh legislation in modern times is poised to become law.
Under the Government of Wales Act, the Welsh assembly gained powers to make legislation in some areas without permission from Westminster.
The NHS Redress Measure is set to be approved by the Queen, making it easier and quicker to claim compensation after negligent treatment by the Welsh NHS.
The legislation will also carry the Welsh coat of arms, or Royal Badge of Wales, for the first time.
This will be the first measure, or Welsh law, to complete the process. The Royal Badge of Wales will also appear on all future Welsh laws. It is based on the arms of the native princes of Wales, dating back to the 13th Century, and designed by the Garter King of Arms, Peter Gwynne-Jones.
