Pre-appointment hearing for the role of Chair of the Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust: evidence session with the Welsh Government's preferred candidate
Thank you for that. Just to clarify your last point, this appointment is four years, if I'm correct. Would you see—? You wouldn't expect the whole—and I'm not saying you should expect this, I'm just trying to get your views—you wouldn't expect the culture to…

Evidence session - (Panel 2) P-06-1247 We call on the Welsh Government to lead the way by supporting trials of a four-day week in Wales
Thank you, both. As I said, Joe, it would be useful, perhaps, to have some of those early results, because, I think, as a committee, we'll probably want to report certainly in the near future, so perhaps before the UK ones are available. But, certainly…

Thank you for that. And before I move on, would you see the role of Government then, given your answer, to perhaps have a focus, if they were to support any trial—and, obviously, we can't pre-empt any recommendation from this committee or decision of the…
