Thank you, Matt. I do have one question, but I would like to ask a sub-question on the one that you just answered. I'm delighted to hear that you had carers contributing to this, because I went to a few group meetings with nurses and doctors recently and they…

Care Home Commissioning for Older People: Evidence session with the Welsh Government
Okay. Thanks for that. I just have two questions. I've only been in the Senedd for a year, but, every so often, new buzz words, new terms, new things are introduced. So, one thing that I've learned recently is there's a new charter, which is basically about…

Okay. There's actually a strong consensus that reporting arrangements to/from RPBs to statutory partners and establishing scrutiny arrangements for RPBs has actually not been resolved adequately before now, given previous commentary on this issue and Welsh…

Care Home Commissioning for Older People: Evidence session with the Welsh Government
Okay. Thanks for that. And has the Welsh Government ruled out any broader changes to put RPBs on a statutory—statutory; I can't speak today, my apologies—footing, and if so, why?

Care Home Commissioning for Older People: Evidence session with the Welsh Government

Care Home Commissioning for Older People: Evidence session with the Welsh Government
Thank you so much, Albert. If there's one thing that I have to say, and I think I can say across the board, is that we all want to have positive outcomes at the end of the day. None of us want to see any failings. We don't want to see failure, and we don't…

It is. Thank you very much. I'm going to move to pooled funds, if that's okay. So, in relation to this, can one of you please explain to myself and those on the committee here today why regional pooled funding arrangements for care home commissioning have not…

Thank you very much for that. I'd love for one of you to please elaborate on something for myself and for the Members here present today: the funded nursing care policy. I'd like to know whether this is actually going to be part and parcel of the wider work…

Okay. And how will the Welsh Government be monitoring and evaluating, moving forward, the impact of the revised national framework for the NHS continuing healthcare?

Okay. And, if the position is actually secured, what key performance indicators will be put in place so that there is some assurance that this money is going to be well spent on that individual to actually achieve the results that are desired?

Papers to note

Papers to note
Chair, in relation to what we discussed in the previous meeting, I do believe that we should note the points that we take from that meeting as well as this, and then afterwards perhaps decide where we're going to move forward, if that's okay.
