Effaith gostyngiadau cyllid ar ddiwylliant a chwaraeon: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chwaraeon Cymru (4)
[Inaudible.]—events in the Senedd were about the importance of sport with health—the connection with mental and physical health. Would you just explain or talk about the impact, perhaps on the NHS, that these cuts might have, and people not being able to…

Craffu ar waith Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru ar faterion cyfoes
Thank you. Are the issues raised in Y Byd ar Bedwar a fair reflection of NRW's grasp on water quality in Wales? Are 80 per cent of permitted discharge permits not being monitored? Is it a true figure? And is up-to-date monitoring data available for all…

Atal a gwrthdroi colli natur erbyn 2030 - sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru
I'm just concerned if we've got the right ecological skills, going forward. We know that there will be some savings of jobs, and new jobs possibly created that people will have to apply for, so I'm just concerned about loss of experience in certain areas, and…

Atal a gwrthdroi colli natur erbyn 2030 - sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru
Okay. Thank you. Just regarding planning, in evidence, you told us there's a gap in current guidance to support planning policy delivery for nature, and a need to establish a clear net benefit for biodiversity policy. We heard earlier that sometimes there's…

Atal a gwrthdroi colli natur erbyn 2030 - sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru
We've heard concerns that a lack of resource for NRW limits implementation or may limit implementation of the biodiversity deep-dive. We know NRW helps monitor SSSIs, river and marine quality, tree planting, the SFS, maybe, going forward—there's so much that…

Hopefully, local authorities might be involved, then, going forward—as a plea—in the local nature partnerships that deliver with communities. Thank you.

In written evidence, you told us an action plan for the whole deep-dive is needed for a team Wales approach to deliver the recommendations with clear ownership and expected time frames. In the earlier sessions, we heard that local authorities are not part of…

Yes, thank you. So, planning. Do you have any early reflections on the net benefit for biodiversity in planning?

I was going to suggest, when people have their bills, you could say something then—a little leaflet about not having wet wipes. And where landowners don't understand that, their ditches, drains and culverts, it's up to them to clear them, to make sure that…

With your external funding, can I just ask where you might get it from, before I go to Rhys? Sorry. Because it's really important that we know that there are all these external funding streams as well.

Okay. So, Wildlife Trusts Wales highlights that local authorities have not received any guidance to help achieve the global biodiversity target to reduce pesticide use by 2030. Are local authorities developing their own policies on pesticide use and what are…

Okay. You all nodded about the three, so I get that. Earlier, we mentioned the section 6 biodiversity duty. What's your experience of it and has the duty had any impact, do you think, in terms of positive outcomes?

The Campaign for National Parks were talking about using our designated landscapes to improve biodiversity, because it's not shown an improvement in those areas, even though they're designated. Your thoughts on that.
