The health of children in Wales is "shocking", and outcomes for young people are worsening or slowing down in many areas, The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health in Wales has said. They’ve suggested that without urgent action, Wales risked "raising one of the unhealthiest generations of children in decades". The Welsh government said it would consider the finding's "carefully", and that it wanted to deliver a "sustained national focus on babies, children, and young people's health". Who is to blame? Learner drivers face a postcode lottery for driving tests across Wales, with waits ranging from just over five to 14 weeks. New Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency data for August shows Newtown had the longest median waiting time in Wales at 14 weeks. Has someone you know waited a long time for a driving test? And finally – eating bugs… Plans for works at a Pembrokeshire ‘bug farm’ to allow it “to maintain its high-quality farming, research, and educational facility” have been given the go-ahead. It boasts a tropical bug zoo, a bug museum, a recently opened nature recovery centre, a farming history museum, and Grub Kitchen, the UK’s first edible insect café!
