Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
More on a high level then is that the money is there, it's just how it's allocated, rather than it's assuming that not everybody's going to take it up, so if there was full take-up, you'd need more. That's the—.

It's just not a straight cut, is it?

Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
The latter.

Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
But, £278 million, is that assuming a percentage take-up, or is that, effectively, the money that's there and divided by the number of people that apply?

You might only have—. No, let's not go there.

—or 20? Sorry, million.

To be very, very simple, if you've got £278,000, is that then divided by 18—

Rhianon.

Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Peter.

Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Okay. And to get those, effectively, 7,000 farm businesses in, what sort of marketing or promotional costs are there in persuading people to get involved?
9 Tachwedd 2022Finance Committee
Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
All right. Okay, thank you. You talked about the, effectively, best part of 18,000 farmers that currently get the scheme. How many farmers will fall outside? How many farmers have we got in Wales and how many won't be able to benefit, or is there anybody…
9 Tachwedd 2022Finance Committee
Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Right, okay.
9 Tachwedd 2022Finance Committee
Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
But there's a commitment to increase that funding anyway.

Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
So, you're talking about increasing Farming Connect by 50 per cent—is that within the £278 million or is that in the RDP stuff?
9 Tachwedd 2022Finance Committee
Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
And can you remind me what the reason was for taking the RDP out?
9 Tachwedd 2022Finance Committee
Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
And is that going to continue as well or is there going to be a black hole?
9 Tachwedd 2022Finance Committee
Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Right, okay. Thank you very much. We're coming towards the end of the questions. I've got a—. Just doing a quick calculation, between the £370 million that you're currently getting, and I think you said and the RIA assumes there's £278 million, is the £100…
9 Tachwedd 2022Finance Committee
Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
So, that's—. And what's the figure on that?
9 Tachwedd 2022Finance Committee
Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
That was a question I had as well, on, if you're changing systems—and with an ageing population of farmers as well—what tech support and what training and how much is that—? Is that costed into that new element?
9 Tachwedd 2022Finance Committee
Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
I think Peter wanted to come in.

Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Right, okay. Thank you. Sorry, Mike.

Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
And what's the anticipated increase in volume through the system, or how many more people would you like, as a factor?
9 Tachwedd 2022Finance Committee
Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Mike, if I may just pop in there. With regard to the new application system, are you anticipating more applications coming through, and is that factored into the cost?
9 Tachwedd 2022Finance Committee
Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Well, you're most welcome. There we are.

Oh, goodness.
