Rwy'n falch o agor y ddadl ar ein cyllideb derfynol ar gyfer 2024-25, yr olaf yn ein proses dair blynedd o bennu cyllidebau, y gwnaethom ni ei chychwyn yn ôl yn 2020-21. Fel gwnes i amlinellu wrth gyhoeddi ein cyllideb ddrafft, yn ddiamau, hon yw'r gyllideb…

Rwy'n ddiolchgar i'r ddau gyd-Aelod am eu cyfraniadau i'r ddadl heddiw. Wrth i ni symud ymhellach i'r tymor Seneddol, yn amlwg, fe fyddwn ni'n parhau i adolygu swyddogaeth hanfodol CTIC fel treth a ddatganolir yn rhannol i Gymru, er hynny, chwedl Mike Hedges…

Diolch am y cyfle i agor y ddadl hon ar y penderfyniad ynghylch cyfraddau treth incwm Cymru ar gyfer 2024-25. Cyflwynwyd cyfraddau treth incwm Cymru ym mis Ebrill 2019, ac maent yn berthnasol i'r elfen o incwm nad yw'n gynilion nac yn ddifidend a enillwyd gan…

I think we'd have to give that some thought.

Shall we get you a note on that? I don't know if you want to—[Inaudible.]

So, the key changes since October—really, I would suggest the key announcement is the one that relates to the NHS and the additional funding to make sure that the MEG comes in on budget. And I suppose that's what I want to achieve by the whole supplementary…

So, in this financial year, it is different again because one of the ways in which we were seeking to manage the pressure earlier on in the year was to ask the UK Government for that capital-to-revenue switch. So, we've made some adjustments to our plans…

It's probably too early to say at this point, because I suppose—. So, you've referred to a reduction in headcount. I suppose it would depend where that fell—

No.

So, the reduction to the CSA MEG relates to a one-off technical accounting exercise, so there's no impact on the administration of the Welsh Government as a result of the exercise. But I will ask Sharon to provide more details on that.

We'll have to come back to you with the details on that. We'll have some conversations with climate change colleagues, to check what the current figure is.

So, the Deputy Minister for Climate Change has regular structured meetings with Transport for Wales to maintain that appropriate oversight. So, he will meet quarterly with the chair and the CEO to discuss performance and also discuss any future issues—I was…

No. So, £17.9 million of that sits with the UK Government, because that's the UK Government's contribution to the city and growth deals, but it will be reprofiled into future years for when it's needed. And then the remaining £8 million is our contribution…

Yes. Those conversations are often very robust, and I think that we're able to have those often very difficult discussions because we do it from a position of trust and respect, and I think that that is really important. So, we've built up that really strong…

Yes. So, Jeremy will meet regularly with the WLGA education leads and have those discussions, and also with education portfolio leads from across Wales. And then I also have meetings with the WLGA very regularly. So, I attend the WLGA executive meeting quite…

In my letters to local authorities, in which I set out the details of the local government settlement for the next financial year, I do state within those letters that we would expect that settlement to cover teachers' pay and those other pressures. I'm…

Within the supplementary budget, again, I think that the story of the supplementary budget, insofar as it concerns local government, is one of protecting and avoiding reductions rather than additional funding. There was nothing more that we could offer…

Much of the supplementary budget describes the activity that we undertook, which was announced in October, in relation to the in-year exercise, and I think the key thing that we did as part of that exercise was to protect the revenue support grant. We looked…

It won't be available in this financial year, because it relates to the reprioritisation exercise, but we can get some more information from the Minister in terms of those plans, basically, and at what point they'll be delivered.

Craffu ar Ail Gyllideb Atodol Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2023-24
Yes, we'll share more information on that, but I think it reflects the fact that there would be some delays in implementing plans, as well as some delays in legislation. So, it was really, as I understand it, available for release due to delays in planned…

I think I'd just stress how important it is to recognise that the majority of funding for the mental health budget is set out under core NHS funding, and that is ring-fenced. For this year, that spend is around £774 million. It remains the area where we spend…

We'd agreed to make the funds available for the recovery payment element of the offer from reserves, and, as you say, the cost of that was £95 million. But due to the timing of the offer, we had to consult with Audit Wales to agree the accounting treatment of…
