Rhianon, did you want to come in on that?

So, effectively, it's a balancing-the-books exercise and, potentially, things might change again on 30 October, depending on decisions made there.

Great, thank you. Thank you for that explanation. You've increased the revenue that you're drawing down from the Wales reserve by £39 million, up to £125 million. Why have you decided to do this now rather than wait until after the UK budget in October?

—about the rest of it. So, two weeks on the trot and we'll see you next week. We'll now break until 11:15, when we will have the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Welsh Language coming in to discuss the first supplementary budget. So, we'll take a break now…

And then what we've seen from the report is the checks and balances that—. That's from a private life into a public life, and the checks and balances that you have in your work environment are there to mitigate some of those personal feelings, if you like, on…

How do you monitor it, then? Do you ask staff what social media they're on, or what their handles are? That personal/work line could get crossed. I'm just wondering how you try and avoid the situation you've got yourselves into, potentially, with one member…

How are you going to 'on board' that policy? You've talked about going to your advisory committee and then rolling it out as training. What does that look like?

Adolygiad o weithrediadau, prosesau ac ymchwiliadau Ombwdsmon Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Cymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
In drawing up that policy and strengthening the policy that you've got and creating it, where have you drawn advice from, or where have you looked for good practice? Because it's a very pertinent issue. It's an issue for Members, even, and standards…
