Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government
I'm not sure any of us would relish having to run through those processes, to be honest, because I fear that we maybe know what the outcome might be. But there we are; we won't go there. Really, it sounded a little bit as if you were making excuses for…

Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government
Diolch yn fawr iawn, Llywydd. Minister, the Barnett formula all too often ends up being a rather convenient reason, some would say, for the Welsh Government to delay implementing transformative policies. The most recent case in point, maybe, relates to public…
21 March 2023Plenary
The Non-Domestic Rating (Alteration of Lists and Appeals) (Wales) Regulations 2023
Can I thank the Minister for opening this discussion? Plaid Cymru won’t be objecting to these regulations, but I did have a couple of questions that I’d like the Minister to address, if possible, given that I have an opportunity to raise them. The new…

Business Statement and Announcement
Minister, we hear from week to week about the increasing crisis facing dentistry here in Wales. Now, the British Dental Association, of course, has warned that services on the NHS could to all intents and purposes come to an end, because there are so many…

Motion under Standing Order 17.42 (vi) and (ix) to resolve to exclude the public from the remainder of today's meeting
Item 6, therefore, is to move into private session. So, I propose in accordance with Standing Order 17.42 (vi) and (ix) that the committee resolves to meet in private for the remainder of the meeting. Are Members content? Everyone is content. Okay, thank you…

We'll move on now to item 5, papers to note. Could I ask Members whether they're content to note those papers together? Thank you very much.

Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP)
Okay. Lovely. Can I thank you all for attending this morning? We're very grateful for the evidence that you shared with us. It's really useful, and we'll be clearly deliberating a lot around what we've heard from yourselves and others this morning. Diolch yn…

Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP)
Five per cent, I think, is the figure that isn't responding, but that is pretty positive. There we are. Okay. Unless any Members have any other particularly pressing points they wish to raise or any final messages or anything that we haven't covered that you…

Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP)
Well, there's a high level of compliance, which is a good sign, but, yes.

Joyce wants to come on this, and then we'll come back to Delyth for the final question.
16 March 2023Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP)
That's an important point for us to take on board.

Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP)
Sorry, Delyth; there's Jonathan as well.

Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP)
And Tony wants to come in as well on this.

Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP)
Yes. Okay, fine. Thank you. Right, okay, we'll move on to Delyth, then.
16 March 2023Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP)
Okay, but, clearly, Government would need to step in and support, I'd imagine.

Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP)
Too many moving parts, is it?
16 March 2023Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP)
Okay. Have you made any estimates of the actual cost of reaching your targets, and, if you have, then how are you discussing with the Welsh Government how to meet those?

Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP)

Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP)
Okay. That's fine.

Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP)

16 March 2023Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP)
I suppose, fundamentally, the question there is: to what extent are these collaborations happening on an ad hoc basis, or to what extent there is sufficiently robust collaboration across both the public and, actually, private sectors, in some respects, to…

Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP)
That sounds ideal, doesn't it?
16 March 2023Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Decarbonising the public sector - evidence session with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP)
And just if I may, Jenny, just to pick up as well, Councillor Andrew Morgan was telling us earlier about collaboration that might be happening between local government and the NHS as well in terms of achieving some of this; it isn't just your job. They may…
