P-06-1346 Provide free and accessible public transport for under 18s in Wales to lower carbon emissions and boost growth
Diolch. Kasia, before you come in to answer, perhaps you could expand a bit more on what a campaign to raise awareness of the schemes available would look like and how the Welsh Government might be able to help.

Who would like to answer that question? Ffion.

I could see Kasia nodding in agreement throughout that answer there. We'll stay on the screen and zoom over to Buffy Williams in the Rhondda, for questions from her.

P-06-1346 Provide free and accessible public transport for under 18s in Wales to lower carbon emissions and boost growth
Okay. Diolch, both, for that. I think they're very valid points. It's a conversation I had just on Friday with a constituent of mine when talking about the Wrexham to Bidston line. I noticed this morning the first social media I get is an angry constituent…

Well, Ffion, Kasia, diolch yn fawr for your presentation in front of us this afternoon, and I was aware, over the weekend, that you presented findings in the Siambr. I think that is something you should both be proud of, and your colleagues on the Welsh Youth…

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board: evidence session with the Chief Executive and interim Chair
So, just going back to the engagement and the experience in the Maelor with the electronic health records, that was a positive change—something's happened—but that's because you've been there and seen it. You can't be everywhere all of the time. What is the…

Diolch yn fawr for that. On that particular point—I'm conscious of the Chair's time as well—engagement is key here. You said that, and I think, in fairness, we had that conversation, Dyfed, on day 10 of your appointment. Carol, I noticed, I think it was the…

Diolch, Gadeirydd. Bore da, bawb. We've discussed already this morning the culture of the organisation quite heavily, I think, but I do want to just touch back on that, because the history of the health board's culture is an issue. You've said that, previous…

Financial implications of the Elections and Elected Bodies (Wales) Bill: Evidence session
Thank you. Just a further final question on the points there, perhaps to the Counsel General: this is the first Bill in which the affordability assessment has been used, as we've just heard now, will it be an expectation of future Bills that an affordability…

Financial implications of the Elections and Elected Bodies (Wales) Bill: Evidence session
Okay, thank you, that's very clear from you, Counsel General. Just one final question from me, Cadeirydd. The affordability assessment that has been included alongside the RIA, can you elaborate further on the approach to assessing affordability over the…

Financial implications of the Elections and Elected Bodies (Wales) Bill: Evidence session
Thank you, Counsel General. I'll move on to looking at the implementation of the Bill and the costs for implementing the Bill. It's expected that the cost will be met within existing resources. Are you confident that the use of the existing Bill team to…
, Finance Committee
Financial implications of the Elections and Elected Bodies (Wales) Bill: Evidence session
Okay, that's useful to know. If I can move on to the monitoring and enforcement of undue influence, the RIA notes that the costs are unknown for this due to a lack of data. Perhaps you can elaborate how you've reached that decision and the engagement you've…

Financial implications of the Elections and Elected Bodies (Wales) Bill: Evidence session
Diolch, Cadeirydd. Counsel General, looking at the democracy and boundary commission, under the Bill they have scope and the power to charge for goods and services. Can you outline today the scope of that power and also the reasons as to why no costs or…
