I'm not going anywhere, that's for sure. [Inaudible.]

Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr
If that's okay.

Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr
Yes, absolutely. Can I just ask where we are with regard to the questions? Is Carolyn still going to continue?
7 Mawrth 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr
Absolutely.

Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr
Great. Thank you so much. Chair, that's my segment. Would you like me to continue or would you like me to pass on to another colleague?
7 Mawrth 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr
Okay, fine. So, are there now clear processes and accountabilities for delivering savings across the organisation?

Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr
Thank you for being so honest about it. I don't live anywhere near Betsi, but I do understand and accept that the position of other health boards is also challenging currently, as we speak. So, what are the particular factors behind the health board’s…

Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr
Thank you very much, Chair. Noting that the health board has received a significant additional in-year allocation—this may sound a little bit repetitive to what you answered earlier, Carol—what is the current forecast for the year-end position, and is the…

Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr
Thank you so much. Those are all my questions for now.
7 Mawrth 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr
Yes. Do you feel that there has been enough accountability for previous and well-documented service failures in the health board?
7 Mawrth 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr
You speak about the last four or five months, but has there been sufficient accountability for previous and well-documented service failures in the health board itself?
7 Mawrth 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr
Great. Is there now a scheme of delegation in place so that the health board has a clear local framework to hold the executive and other senior officers to account?
7 Mawrth 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr
Carol, that's really, really good to hear. If you look around the room, and I know I'm on screen, but I'm sure you can appreciate, all of us are old-school in this room right now. [Laughter.] When it comes down to it, I look forward to reading and seeing this…

—in relation to this health board, and I think everyone will want the same. So, my definition is 'confidence'.
7 Mawrth 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr
I'll give you my definition; my definition is 'confidence', because that's what we need—
7 Mawrth 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr
Good. And do you feel that the board and its committee is happy with the assurances and information it's receiving from officers now?
7 Mawrth 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr
I'm really happy to hear that, Carol. And you've practically led into my next question, but I do like to look into the future, as does the committee, so do you have any further plans or any further intentions to ensure, or perhaps any programmes going ahead…
7 Mawrth 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr
Absolutely, and it sounds like you're certainly going in the right direction for it. So, I want to talk a little bit about building an effective executive team. So, I'd like to know: what did the review of executive portfolios identify and what is being done…
7 Mawrth 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr
Great. So, noting some of the other positive findings of the auditor general’s latest report on board effectiveness, what board development activities are under way or planned, in fact, to ensure that the dysfunctionality described in the auditor general’s…
7 Mawrth 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr
That's really refreshing to hear. So, in that instance, what action is now being taken to strengthen the office of the board secretary and to support sound corporate governance arrangements within the organisation itself?
7 Mawrth 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Sesiwn dystiolaeth: Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr
Thank you so much, Chair. I'd just like to ask, noting recent recruitment activity, when does the board anticipate having a full complement of substantively appointed independent members in place?
