Cefnogi Wcreiniaid yng Nghymru: sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag uwch-swyddogion Llywodraeth Cymru
Thank you very much, and I think, personally, I would like to thank our witnesses for the important work that they're doing and also those across Wales, across local authorities, and the communities that are working so effectively in this arena. My question…

Datganiad gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol: Sefydliadau GIG Cymru—Diweddariad uwchgyfeirio
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Ysgrifennydd Cabinet, mae fy etholwyr yn Islwyn yn gweld pa mor galed y mae staff ein GIG yn gweithio, a byddant yn nodi bod Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Aneurin Bevan yn parhau ar lefel 4 ar gyfer strategaeth cyllid ac ar lefel 3 ar gyfer…

Goblygiadau Ariannol y Bil y Gymraeg ac Addysg (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Diolch. Thank you very much. And finally from me, the Welsh Language Commissioner noted the costs of the national institute have not included programme costs, and she goes on to say that she describes this as crucial for the providers of Welsh language…

Okay. Thank you. I understand that. I'm going to move on to the financial implications around the National Institute for Learning Welsh and the cross-over to that. So, you're replacing the current National Centre for Learning Welsh with a new National…

Thank you. Diolch. On what basis, then, did Estyn provide an estimate of £23,500 a year to conduct the rapid review of one Welsh in education strategic plan, and what assurance have you been given that that estimate is reasonable? And what is the threshold…

Thank you very much, Cabinet Secretary. The evidence from local authorities has also suggested it was challenging to quantify additional costs of analysing workforce data to plan the teaching workforce, which we've been discussing previously, and that those…

Diolch. Thank you, Chair. I'm going to move to the financial implications, if I may, of preparing the national framework and the amendment of the WESPs. So, the RIA says that there is a considerable variation in how the resources to administer and support…

Goblygiadau Ariannol y Bil y Gymraeg ac Addysg (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Diolch, Chair. Just very briefly, it's been very clear in terms of the emphasis on workforce development, and the reasoning around the wide cohort of schools' ecology, however, just a quick question, if I may, and if I've missed it, apologies: you said the…

Penodiadau Cyhoeddus: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Llywodraeth Cymru
Thank you, Chair. It’s just housekeeping, just to declare an interest. I think you mentioned RedQuadrant, and I’ve been commissioned by them in the past to write policy. I’m not sure if it’s a report that you’re mentioning, or the company, but just to put…

Okay. I will have to write to you, Chair.

Just to clarify and to declare an interest. I'm not sure if it's valid as a former—[Inaudible.]

Sorry to interrupt you. I realise that you weren't intending to imply that, but what I'm saying is that, as a scheme, that doesn't seem to be very successful, if there was no outcome at the end of it.

Penodiadau Cyhoeddus: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Llywodraeth Cymru
Very briefly and just for clarity, Chair, if I may. I think I heard—and obviously, that's encouraging in terms of what's just been shared with this committee—that in terms of the shadowing, the diverse panel that you have shadowing other board members, if I'm…

Thank you very much. Obviously, in terms of any appointments, specifically public appointments, via the public purse, all of our processes need to be as strong and as rigorous as possible, and nobody is saying any different. But how would you react to the…

Penodiadau Cyhoeddus: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Llywodraeth Cymru
So, I'm still slightly confused, because I'm speaking to the strategy in terms of ‘Reflecting Wales in Running Wales’, and you're talking to the action plan. So, is that correct?
17 Hydref 2024 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Penodiadau Cyhoeddus: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Llywodraeth Cymru
I think I'll move on, if that's okay. The strategy covered the period 2020-23. Can you outline when the strategy will be evaluated—I did touch upon this earlier—and how and when the results of that evaluation will be published? So it’s a broad brush. Thank…

Okay, so, there's no improvement in that regard. When will that be delivered, then, in terms of your audit, as stage 1 of that really important—

Penodiadau Cyhoeddus: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Llywodraeth Cymru
I'll interrupt you to save time. We’re all cognisant of the need to reflect that principle. But, without a specific target around that, how are you aiming to develop that diversity across the boards? I mean, surely there should be a target attached to that…
