That's accessible to committee, is it?

Penodiadau Cyhoeddus: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Llywodraeth Cymru
Okay, thank you. In practical terms, what is the process for adding or removing Welsh devolved public bodies from the Order in Council works?
17 Hydref 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Penodiadau Cyhoeddus: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Llywodraeth Cymru
Are those listed, or is that discretionary?

Is there a set of criteria that could be shared with us, or is it—?

Okay, thank you. I'll try being succinct in my questions as well. What criteria are used by Welsh Government Ministers to decide whether a public body should be regulated by the Commissioner for Public Appointments and added to the list of bodies included in…

We're very short on time, so if that could be your last question, and if you could be as succinct as possible in your answers. Thank you.

Can I just intervene on that point? Amongst other things, I chair the cross-party group on disability in the Senedd, and this is a recurrent issue. As you know, employment of disabled people is well below the level for the population at large, and the…

As someone who also gets lost on the Welsh Government website, it's a barrier to access; you search for a subject area and you get a long list of correspondence and statements over a long period of time, rather than being taken to the relevant document or…

Okay, thank you. Can I bring in Mike Hedges, who has a line of questions on a related but separate matter? So, Mike Hedges, over to you.

Penodiadau Cyhoeddus: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Llywodraeth Cymru
Thank you. Before I bring Mike Hedges in, I've got one supplementary question myself. What, if any, learning is there from the Senedd Commission's experience in exactly the same area? In their evidence to us previously, they said that although on balance the…

Okay. Just developing on that, my understanding is that the purpose of strategies and outputs is to deliver outcomes, but, of course, things change sometimes, and you mentioned some of the outliers that have come in, including the pandemic. So, when the…

And you, I think, described how you're seeking or generating better linkage within the different departments and units in Welsh Government. In terms of reaching out and ensuring better understanding amongst those who might be engaged in the process, how…

Okay, thank you. Evidence provided to the committee and to board members surveyed identified concerns about the visibility of the public appointments team and about a lack of clarity about its role in the public appointments recruitment process. What action…
