Cyllideb Ddrafft 2022-23: Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Well, the draft budget allocates—. It allocates—. It's part of the draft budget, so it's a priority of the Welsh Government.

Cyllideb Ddrafft 2022-23: Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Well, I have answered these points. This is in the draft budget and it's an important commitment from the Welsh Government. All of the points about value for money evaluation are all going to be part of the consideration, and you'll get a statement very…

Cyllideb Ddrafft 2022-23: Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
—in brief at this stage. So, all of the evidence that comes before us, of course, we consider very carefully. And I think that's probably, Chair, as much as I think will be valuable today.

Cyllideb Ddrafft 2022-23: Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
I think I have responded to the committee—

Cyllideb Ddrafft 2022-23: Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Thank you very much, Altaf, and these details will be given in my forthcoming statement. Can I just say, I was very pleased to see the fact that the Petitions Committee undertook this inquiry? And also, I haven't responded to it formally, but I just want to…

Cyllideb Ddrafft 2022-23: Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
I think, Chair, it would be helpful, because we're very much at the sort of cutting edge in terms of finalising details, if I could say that I'll come back to you as soon as possible. There will be a written statement in the next week or so on the actual…

Cyllideb Ddrafft 2022-23: Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Yes. We have done our best to try and seek co-operation with the Department for Work and Pensions, and we want to do this to give a decent basic income to our care leavers, so that's why it is a decent allocation for those young people to actually make this…

Thank you very much, Jane, and I know that you particularly have got a very keen interest in this, as have other Members of the Equality and Social Justice Committee. I am imminently going to be providing more detail about this in a statement to the Senedd…

Cyllideb Ddrafft 2022-23: Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Thank you, Sioned, for that crucially important question in terms of what we've been discussing about the particular circumstances we're in now. The circumstances we're in now in terms of the cost-of-living crisis, it wasn't anticipated to this extent, was…

Cyllideb Ddrafft 2022-23: Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Well, I think it will provide—. Well, obviously, there's already a huge range of evidence that we have to feed into the budget, and that's not just for my benefit, it's for all Ministers. It is an equality evidence unit, which is part of our monitoring and…

Cyllideb Ddrafft 2022-23: Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Diolch yn fawr, Sioned. It's crucial that we're doing the right things, that we get it right. It's interesting how there was a time when research bodies were looking at even having a 'what works' kind of work stream in terms of Government policy. We've got to…

Cyllideb Ddrafft 2022-23: Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Thanks very much, Ken. Yes, it's vital, if you have a role like the Minister for Social Justice and equalities, that you speak up at every possible moment on those issues because they're very cross-cutting, aren't they? We've got a mainstreaming equality…

Cyllideb Ddrafft 2022-23: Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Thank you very much, Ken. The co-operation agreement has had a major impact, and particularly it's the impacts on social justice in my portfolio, rather than on my budget itself in terms of the outcomes from that agreement. And I think what is important about…

Well, the third sector, of course, nationally, regionally and locally—. Local organisations, as you know, Chair and colleagues, are very much dependent on local sources of funding, not just local authorities and health boards, but their own income generation…

Cyllideb Ddrafft 2022-23: Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Diolch yn fawr, Sioned. Of course, the third sector is critical to the lifeblood of Wales in terms of delivering services directly themselves, but also, as you say, in relation to supporting statutory services, and hasn't this come out so strongly and vividly…

Cyllideb Ddrafft 2022-23: Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Thank you very much, Jane. It's interesting, because in some ways these are questions for the Minister for Finance and Local Government, because, clearly, Ministers have to ensure that they are using the strategic integrated impact assessment in terms of…

Cyllideb Ddrafft 2022-23: Sesiwn graffu gyda'r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
I recall being back there, in fact, in former ministerial roles. Getting this right has taken time. We were the first to do it, the first country to do it. So, moving on from that very lengthy—. It was then, I remember, considered to be just, 'Are we sort of…
