I assume you use 'green', 'amber', 'red' on your risk register.

The last question from me, and it's a short question now: how many red risks have you got on your risk register?

But, sorry, when you get into cyber attacks, there are two levels, aren't there? They go in as you, which would be a problem, but not disastrous, or they go in as the systems manager in which they get complete control of the whole system. So, it's really…

Thank you. Your internal auditors issued seven internal audit reports during the year, three of which were rated 'reasonable assurance'. One was cyber security, a matter that I'm sure concerned you gravely. I would have thought that there won't be an…

Following the board’s self-assessment, you developed an action plan to address the key areas identified for improvement. Can you share with the committee what those areas were and what actions you took to address them?

Diolch, Cadeirydd. During the year, it came to light that the former chair had taken up a disqualifying role. This meant that from 1 January 2024, she was disqualified from the position. Due to the timing, the former chair was notified of the disqualification…

But they could go to Bristol, they could go to health boards in the south-west of England, and if they're living Monmouthshire way, it might be equally as easy for them to get there. So, it's just outside your audit control, not any audit control.

It's in two parts, Chair. A 5 per cent turnover every five years would mean that people would stay roughly 20 years. That would be a reasonable length of time, wouldn't it? The other question is whether these people who are moving on in employment retiring…

One question and one declaration. I'll do the declaration first—I probably should have done it earlier on. I think it's quite well known that I chair the civil service cross-party group in the Senedd, which is run by the Public and Commercial Services Union…

That's perhaps something you need to do outside of these meetings. What I will say, of course, is that that we're all coming here to earn a living, be it as Members, be it the chief executive or be it people working at any place here. They're all doing the…

I don't disagree with anything you've just said there, Hefin. But are you able to provide us with a three or five-year plan?
3 Hydref 2024 , Finance Committee
Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2025-26: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
No, but you have a three-year or five-year budget plan, don't you? And I think that would certainly be on capital and on development. Whether you want to share that with us or not is another matter—exactly how that three and five-year plan goes.

This is the last question from me. You've talked about spending large sums of money on significant life-cycle replacements of major plant and infrastructure. Is there any way that that could be shared over a number of years? You can't share it backwards and…

Not by much, because most of what I was going to ask has been answered in other answers. Can I ask about the Pierhead review project, which I don't think we've talked about up to now? It's funded from the 2024-25 budget. How are you ensuring the Pierhead…

I nag you about this every year, and I hope to nag you about it next year, but flattening the structure is what Caerphilly council will be doing now in order to deal with their budget deficit. Are you thinking of doing something similar?
