Thanks, Janet. So, the draft budget overall is £543,000 revenue over three years of the budget term. That's indicative for years 2023-24 and 2024-25, just to be clear. It's also part of the co-operation agreement, so it's subject to the discussions ongoing…

So, again, that's quite a complicated question to answer. First off, in the co-operation agreement, we're in discussion on the formation of a renewable energy company for Wales, and it may well be that that goes some way to some of that. Secondly, it's all…

So, absolutely, Llyr. And that's one of the difficulties, isn't it—always making sure that you understand what the baseline looks like, so that you can put the add-ons in place in the correct way? So, I completely agree with that. There's also the issue…

So, absolutely outcomes, but, of course, to get the outcome, you've got to have the right processes in place, and the right resources in place. So, absolutely outcome based. But these are difficult questions, aren't they, to ask? So, NRW I'm sure will be able…

It's more complicated than that, I'm afraid. It's not that we think you can't do enforcement or you're not able to attend every incident in water pollution, for example. It's much more that we want to make sure that they are able to manage their resources to…

So, Huw, it's really easy to answer that question, actually. We asked for the baseline review because we recognised the kind of mission creep, if you like, and we want to put ourselves back in a position where everybody understands what it is that NRW is…

Yes, so, we conducted an exercise, a proper emergency exercise, where we went through a whole fake incident, but a very realistic fake incident, and we actually went through the entire thing, from the first alarm all the way through to the end. We did that…

I absolutely can't answer that, Delyth, because it kind of depends what goes wrong, doesn't it, really. What we have done is that we're working really hard with the local authorities to make sure that we have all of their schemes coming forward. We've funded…

Llyr, can I, sorry, just for completeness—? I promise I won't take more than a minute or so. Just to say that we also have around 800 vehicles across Wales in collection and recycling of waste. So, we've also rolled out an ultra-low emission vehicle programme…

Well, so, Huw, we will deal with it as it comes up. There's a big learning point there, and I'll bring John in as well, perhaps, on this. But there's a big learning point here, which is, you don't put schemes in place without really thoroughly understanding…
