Bil Senedd Cymru (Aelodau ac Etholiadau): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda’r Cwnsler Cyffredinol a Gweinidog y Cyfansoddiad
Just carrying on from that, I assume you or your successor will be reporting to this committee, or its successor, the outturn after the election.

Bil Senedd Cymru (Aelodau ac Etholiadau): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda’r Cwnsler Cyffredinol a Gweinidog y Cyfansoddiad
I'm very pleased to see that Bill going forward, and I spoke in favour of it in the Senedd, but I don't think that the reason that a lot of people don't vote is because they haven't got around to registering. I think, unfortunately for all of us who are…

Bil Senedd Cymru (Aelodau ac Etholiadau): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda’r Cwnsler Cyffredinol a Gweinidog y Cyfansoddiad
On polling stations, something I've spent a lot of time taking an interest in, much as we dislike it here and much as we're not happy with it, turnout for a general election is at least 50 per cent higher than that for a Senedd election. So, surely, when a…

Bil Senedd Cymru (Aelodau ac Etholiadau): Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda’r Cwnsler Cyffredinol a Gweinidog y Cyfansoddiad
Diolch, Cadeirydd. The Bill estimates savings of £751,000 over the eight-year appraisal period. You mentioned that further savings may result once more information is available. What is the potential significance of these savings? Have you got a range for…

My last question. Your accounts show that computers, equipment, furniture and fittings were reclassified as surplus during the year. I understand the value is about £137,000, and that may or may not be correct. They were fully depreciated. What's happened to…

Thank you. I think that is a positive way forward. You outline two risks with a high level of risk—the number of complaints and staff resource, and the other around budget. I'm sure anybody else we had in here or at any other committee would be identifying…

I'm going to put that out, because there are some that are a serious problem, and I think that the health boards are finding it difficult to deal with them. Maybe you might have a better handle on it. The annual report says you have reviewed the governance…

So, you were saying about moving, I've actually been dealing with somebody who was in London, has now moved to Wales, and now wants to complain about London, but that is outside your scope. Are people able to complain about individual GP practices?

We've spent a lot of time in the past, before you took over, Michelle, talking about own-initiative investigations. Your predecessor was very keen on it and eventually you've got that capacity. But what capacity do you have to conduct own-initiative…

Okay, thank you very much. Really, with a number of these things, all I've been trying to do is raise the issue with you so that you go back and talk to other people, rather than expecting an answer today.

Finally from me, harassment or discrimination are noted as a reason for some staff leaving. Can you expand on this and what actions were taken to address the issue? I know that some people use the word 'discrimination' when they feel that they've been badly…

That's a question that whatever answer you can give, in one respect is right and in one respect is wrong, because you want low staff turnover at executive level and senior level to have continuity, but when you have low turnover, it can have a huge effect on…

I ask this all the time, and I'll keep on asking it: do you analyse your staff in turnover and recruitment by the first part of their postcode? I live in SA6, for example. So, not the full postcode, but it gives you an idea of the area where people are coming…
