Wel, dwi yn poeni bod y ffaith does dim arian gyda ni i dalu yn allanol yn mynd i fod yn fwy anodd, ac mae hynny'n bryder mawr inni. Dwi'n meddwl bod pawb yn deall, os yw'n mynd i helpu cael pobl off y rhestrau aros—. Rydyn ni, yn amlwg, yn awyddus, os ydyn…

So, we give £170 million—so, we've earmarked £170 million to bring down these waiting lists; we held back £50 million of that. So, I think Hywel Dda were waiting to hear how much of that £50 million they would be getting. So, they've now been allocated an…

Sure. Yes. Yes, but I don't think any of us envisaged a 14 per cent increase. I think the other thing just to bear in mind is that, whilst our waiting lists are going up—and they have gone up by 1.9 per cent in Wales over the past year—they've gone up by 10.7…

—rather than the longest waiters. It's partly because, actually, the number of people coming onto the waiting lists has increased massively. So, if you look at the past 12 months, you'll see a 14 per cent increase on the numbers coming in compared to the 12…

We think that, for most specialities, they will be able to hit that target. I think there are a few of those specialist areas that I set out, like orthopaedic surgery, but we are putting a lot of investment and a lot of support in place to try to drive…

So, as you said, we had a number of targets. One of them was that nobody should be waiting for longer than a year for their first out-patient appointment. What we have seen is a reduction of almost 50 per cent by the end of August 2023, compared to August…

I'll have to wait until that clinical lead and the network manager have been appointed, because they have to own this plan. Because if they own it, they're more likely to deliver it.

It just takes time to get the right people in the right place. We have appointed within the Welsh Government somebody to lead on this, but we did need the NHS to get that clinical leadership in place.

The clinical lead is just about to be appointed and the network manager is currently in place. But it's not like we haven't been doing anything. We've been doing a huge amount of work on endometriosis, for example, doing a lot more work in relation to working…

So, the plan is an NHS plan. I can't determine what they're going to do, because it's their plan—it's the NHS plan. I do the quality statement, they do the delivery.

This is now an NHS health plan, so this is not going quite as quickly as I’d hoped. But what we are doing is we’re in a situation now where we’ve got the quality statement that’s been delivered already, and progress has been made with the establishment of the…

So, it's generally the civil contingencies group that leads on those areas, but the health group will be receiving those national security risk assessments on a regular basis.

So, what we've got is a national security risk assessment, and that's done generally via the UK Government and they take that overview of risks in terms of major emergencies that could impact on the UK. They tend to look at around two years ahead. So, the…

I'm hoping that will be done by the end of this year. So, we'll start the consultation on that by the end of this year, which is—. You know, this is groundbreaking stuff. This is world-leading stuff. So, every time a new policy development will happen across…

So, they publish the population needs assessment, so it would be very easy for your committee to get hold of that.

Great. Thanks very much. What we do is we set out a planning framework. So, at the beginning of the year we say, 'Right, these are the things we really want you to focus on, health boards.' So, last year, because of the kinds of pressures that we were under…

We're very aware that we are confronting a very different demographic from what we've seen in the past, and what we're talking about is perhaps far more complex cases and, as you suggest, multimorbidities. So, actually, we're doing a huge amount of work in…

To be fair, it's £1 million additional funding from the UK Government, which is not a lot, to be fair. But the problem is that we are really, really challenged when it comes to capital funding within the NHS in Wales. And the question is how we balance that…

So, the formula is done on a basis of things like population, on rurality, on poverty. So, there's a formula that is used, but these are the things that those health boards have set themselves as the plans that they said that they could deliver on at the…

We've shared out about £460 million to health boards; £336 million of that is on a recurrent basis, but that's conditional on them meeting certain target control totals; £150 million of that is to make up for the fact that COVID expenditure—. They needed to…
