Dadl: Adroddiad Ymchwiliad Gwaed Heintiedig
O, fi sydd i siarad. Diolch. Roedd canfyddiadau damniol yr ymchwiliad gwaed heintiedig a gyhoeddwyd ar 25 Mai yn taflu goleuni ar un o'r sgandalau mwyaf yn hanes triniaethau'r GIG. Amcangyfrifir bod 3,000 o bobl a heintiwyd â HIV a hepatitis C ar ôl cael…

Cynnig o dan Reol Sefydlog 17.42 i benderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod
So, committee as a whole, at this point, I propose, in accordance with Standing Order 17.42(ix), that we resolve to meet in private for the remainder of today's meeting. Are all Members content? I see that Members are content. Therefore, I'd be grateful if we…

Okay. Mike Hedges, are you content with—? Thank you very much indeed. If Members have no further questions, that brings our questions to a conclusion. As you'd expect, a draft transcript of this meeting will be sent to you for you to check for accuracy before…

Mike Hedges.

I was aware that you might be setting dangerous precedents.

Adam.

Well, I would state on a personal basis, for example, I get a huge amount of constituent casework relating to failures to understand or implement the requirements of the Social Services and Well-Being (Wales) Act 2014, which is something that this committee…

Sesiwn ar Lawlyfr y Cabinet a Thrafodaethau Mynediad
Okay, thank you. And the last question I've got, unless any Members have any further thoughts, is following on from a comment, I think, from Rachel Garside-Jones about monitoring and milestones and the roles you take in that. Because this is an issue that…

Sesiwn ar Lawlyfr y Cabinet a Thrafodaethau Mynediad
Thank you very much. Perhaps, again, in your written response, in terms of the question asked in relation to whether an inquiry would incorporate looking at Members' private communications, even if you can't specify in this case whether such an inquiry could…

Sesiwn ar Lawlyfr y Cabinet a Thrafodaethau Mynediad
It would appear to be a request for just factual information, but in your written response, will you be able to give factual answers to those specific questions without commenting on the subject matter of the inquiry?
23 Mai 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Sesiwn ar Lawlyfr y Cabinet a Thrafodaethau Mynediad
Thank you. Yes, Adam.

Thank you. Peter Fox, can I bring you in, please?
23 Mai 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Sesiwn ar Lawlyfr y Cabinet a Thrafodaethau Mynediad
One other thought before I bring Peter Fox in. Given the earlier discussion with Adam Price around leaks, information and whistleblowing—and you may not be able to comment, but this is in very general terms, with no specific party or Government in mind—to…

To be relevant, wherever the Cabinet manual sits, to what extent would this need to be a living document? I believe that the current UK document was published in 2010 and hasn't had material changes since, although we have an evolving constitution and all the…

Thank you very much indeed, Adam. Mike Hedges, I believe you have some questions.

Thank you. Adam Price.
23 Mai 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Sesiwn ar Lawlyfr y Cabinet a Thrafodaethau Mynediad
Can I just ask you to clarify? I think I heard correctly that you're not aware of a set process for leak inquiries. Is there a formal process?
23 Mai 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Sesiwn ar Lawlyfr y Cabinet a Thrafodaethau Mynediad
Can I bring in Mike Hedges, Adam, before you continue?
23 Mai 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Sesiwn ar Lawlyfr y Cabinet a Thrafodaethau Mynediad
Thank you. You have made a number of references to the UK Government Cabinet manual. I believe Adam Price has some questions for you on this.

And a final question from me at this point: how does the Welsh Government ensure that civil servants themselves understand what is permitted, particularly around information sharing? And what, if any, benefit does the Welsh Government see in establishing…

And just for the record, were similar letters sent in 2016 and 2021?
23 Mai 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Sesiwn ar Lawlyfr y Cabinet a Thrafodaethau Mynediad
Thank you. You've indicated that a letter goes to the party leaders as part of the now-established convention. We note that, in the run-up to the 2007 elections in Wales, the then Permanent Secretary wrote to all the party leaders offering meetings on matters…

I think it was a year after, if I remember.

Sesiwn ar Lawlyfr y Cabinet a Thrafodaethau Mynediad
Thank you. We note that, when negotiating the coalition agreement in 2000, the Liberal Democrats were granted informal access to officials to obtain advice on their policy proposals. In the absence of guidance, how does the convention you describe, the…
