In a way, I suppose, it's an opportunity for Dr McCullough to respond to the way that you've reacted, or the actions you've put in place in light of her recommendations. It might be that, giving it a 12-month—. It may be just a, 'This is what we've done, any…

As part of that, and looking at your key performance indicators, are you going to be adjusting any of those to maybe monitor what Dr McCullough was trying to make sure wasn't happening? Or have you given any thought to how it's embodied in something going…

Sorry, on that point, were any members of staff who used to work in that team, who were working in a different team, given that opportunity?

Yes, that's right. So, the dip sampling was to do that: it was to satisfy her, I think, about the robustness of the approach they were using and that the whole team was using the same approach. And they applied that. We weren't involved in the dip sampling…

Okay. Thank you for that. There's talk, in the process and in the review process that went on, that 5 per cent of the cases that were selected for review were subject to an additional dip sampling. How was that dip-sampling size determined, and how were those…

Fine. Okay. Thank you. Thank you for that. What sorts of thresholds were applied for something to be considered as having been influenced by bias? Going on from the definition, then, where do the margins happen, and what would constitute sufficient evidence…

One of the big parts of the review, and part of what was being investigated, was potential political bias. How was that defined, and what did you do to formalise the definition of political bias? If you could talk a little bit about that.

But because she was confident as it was going along, and, obviously, from her report, that she had all the information that she needed, she didn't feel it necessary then to widen beyond that. Okay. Thank you.

Adolygiad o weithrediadau, prosesau ac ymchwiliadau Ombwdsmon Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Cymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Oh, she didn't from that. Would that potentially have been then to interview people who had been investigated, or is that where that natural progression might have gone if she thought it was necessary?

As the review went ahead, the lead reviewer obviously had the opportunity to widen scope if she wanted to. Did any conversations about that happen? Was there a need to look beyond what was in those terms of reference? Did any conversations about that happen…

There we are. So, we'll note those papers. Just to say that we've noted the paper from Dawn Bowden, the Cabinet Secretary for Children and Social Care. It was worrying to see the numbers change so much from evidence given, and, obviously, our report will…

We've had nothing further from them other than the letter, but we do have Mark Drakeford in with us later as the Cabinet Secretary, and we'll obviously have him in for the budget as well. So, it might be an opportunity for you to maybe raise it at one of…
