I think that the additional funding, I hope, that we're providing to the real living wage within social care will have a big impact, I hope, in terms of recognising that workforce, because that, obviously, is one of our key areas of concern at the moment. But…

So, the invest-to-save programme has been refocused towards children leaving care, so there are specific programmes looking to support those, so that's our focus now of the invest-to-save programme. That's not to say that health boards can't see the benefit…

Learning from best practice is always something that we would want to encourage, but the health Minister will be closer to the systems that they have in place for sharing best practice, so, when she writes on the other issues, I'll make sure that everything…

Again, if there was more funding to provide, we obviously would look to do that, because public services are our priority for the budget, but I think that we've again provided the best possible settlement for the health service that we could, in the…

So, I will, perhaps, again, ask the health Minister to include that in her response to you, but what I will say is that she has written to all the health boards, setting out her priorities over the coming three years. And she's very clear in that letter that…

So, we're closely monitoring NHS financial positions, and we do that on a monthly basis. That's done through the Minister for Health and Social Services, because, obviously, she has her own team of finance officials within the department, and that's done, as…

So, you will have seen the statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services yesterday agreeing Health Education and Improvement Wales's education and training plan 2023-24 for healthcare professionals in Wales. There will be a £17.8 million increase…

It has to be, because that's the budget. We could always do more more quickly, we could provide more services, we could provide better services, we could provide quicker services if we did have additional funding. We've spoken lots of times about how, over…

So, I think that transformation has to be part of our core work, because we always need to be moving forward. So, I know that the Minister for Health and Social Services will be really keen to talk to her committee about the transformation programme. I think…

So, two things to say there, the first being that I met with a group of five different organisations working in the children and young people sector—and, having heard your description of the issues, I think that perhaps we've met and spoken to the same…

So, we definitely see this as being a step on that journey towards sustainability. So, the additional funding that we've provided through the three-year spending review and this year's funding as well. And, as I say, it's not all about funding; it's about…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
The budget does provide—. And let's remember again, this is part of the three-year spending review, so in the original spending review, we did announce significant additional funding for social care. So, in this budget, we've provided an additional £70…

No. So, as I say, when we wrote to local authorities with the proposed settlement, it was clear in that letter that we would expect local authorities to include teachers' pay within that, and we were also clear around some of the other things that we would…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 8
Yes. The expectation is that teachers' pay will be met from within the settlement that we've provided. I know that Jeremy has been meeting with teachers' unions representatives, today, I believe. So, I haven't had a chance to hear how those meetings have…

Yes, it does seem to be a very significant issue in some areas, made worse, I think, by the difficulties in recruiting bus drivers for school transport. That's something I know is of concern.

So, I think that, having reflected on discussions that we've had in the Chamber recently—and I know that the committee is interested in this as well—I might seek to have a discussion in the first instance with the finance sub-group, or ask members of the…

We'll definitely go and have a look at this further and have some further discussions with the local government finance officials as well.
