Ymchwiliad llywodraethiant y DU-UE: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Yes, just briefly. The three of you have mentioned resources, and just drilling a little bit into that, into is it purely financial resources, or is it capacity building, or is it expertise: is it people, or it is cash, basically, or is it that you need…

Lovely. Excellent. There we are. I think that's it for us. Thank you very much for your time this morning. I can never remember the—ah, there we are—Standing Order.

Cyllideb Atodol gyntaf Llywodraeth Cymru 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Yes, I was just thinking, from the £28 million that's been effectively allocated for salaries and that pay award, is it enough to be able to offset some of that stuff? But maybe a note from the Minister might be useful, just to clarify that point. There we…

Cyllideb Atodol gyntaf Llywodraeth Cymru 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Right. Okay.

Cyllideb Atodol gyntaf Llywodraeth Cymru 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Yes. Probably more on policy, but it was just an interesting side.

Are you concerned—? Maybe putting your local government hat on rather than your finance hat, are you—? Anecdotally, I've heard of schools running deficit budgets in this year, and obviously that has to be made up within a 12-month period. Is there any concern…

Is the £99.9 million from Barnett the equivalent, effectively, to the £100 million IFRS 16, or are they two different things?

Sorry, it's not cash terms. It's just an accounting—

Cyllideb Atodol gyntaf Llywodraeth Cymru 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
I wonder, because Barnett is such a key element of what we scrutinise and try to understand, off the top of my head, would it be possible to get a technical briefing on some of this stuff just to understand some of that nuance and some of the real…

Cyllideb Atodol gyntaf Llywodraeth Cymru 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
No, no. Exactly.
21 Mehefin 2023 , Finance Committee
Cyllideb Atodol gyntaf Llywodraeth Cymru 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
We don't get it, no.
21 Mehefin 2023 , Finance Committee
Cyllideb Atodol gyntaf Llywodraeth Cymru 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Yes. It's more a Westminster policy, probably, rather than for this committee to go into that.
21 Mehefin 2023 , Finance Committee
Cyllideb Atodol gyntaf Llywodraeth Cymru 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Yes, definitely.
21 Mehefin 2023 , Finance Committee
Cyllideb Atodol gyntaf Llywodraeth Cymru 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Yes. It goes into policy. But it is zero per cent that we're getting.

Cyllideb Atodol gyntaf Llywodraeth Cymru 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
No, because it's an England-and-Wales scheme, so it's designated—

Cyllideb Atodol gyntaf Llywodraeth Cymru 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
So, with this supplementary budget have you had to have that central view, or has it been more managed within MEGs, and it's just slippage, or whatever it might be, to be able to find that? Or have you actually taken that central control and said, 'Actually…

And I suppose by monitoring on a monthly basis you enshrine it then within the supplementary budget when it becomes a bit more clear that actually you've got underspends and overspends, and then you reprioritise.
21 Mehefin 2023 , Finance Committee
Cyllideb Atodol gyntaf Llywodraeth Cymru 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you. Obviously, we talked earlier about some of the small changes in allocations within the supplementary budget, and many of the challenges that emerge throughout the year. What process do you go through at this stage to assess the affordability of…
