Annual scrutiny session with the National Library of Wales
Obviously, I represent a constituency in one of the more deprived areas, and I think those areas sometimes feel like culture is quite out of reach; it's something that they might not feel like they've got access to as much as other people. You've touched on…

Annual scrutiny session with the National Library of Wales
Just quickly, you said you were going to Ebbw Vale tomorrow, and I'm really pleased about that. I was just going to ask, actually, about what you do in terms of the Valleys. You mentioned Merthyr and Ebbw Vale, and that's really lovely to hear.

You said that you would have developed a business case for a centre of conservation for Wales, hopefully by October of next year. So, we're here now, October of next year—I was wondering if you can give an update on that business plan, where you're at with it.

Thank you. It's fab to hear about the work you're doing with decarbonisation. I think that's excellent. With conservation again, I want to go back to your session with us last year.

Are you working—just quickly, Chair, sorry—are you working, then, with Welsh Government and the UK Government as quite a large team to deal with this? I'm sure this is something that's happening around the world.

And how much money do you need to spend on this now as a library in order to ensure that these things don't happen? Is that increasing?

Diolch. I think one of the things that stood out for me when you last came to the committee, when I was watching back on it, was to do with the cyber security risks you mentioned. I think it's something that gets quite overlooked. I'm not sure many people in…

Thank you. I just want to touch quickly on staff. In October of last year, Rhodri, you said that staff morale was a mixed picture. How would you describe it now, today, a year on from the last time you spoke to the committee?

Will there be a report and will we see this full comprehensive report? With pay what you can for 'Streic', with future exhibitions, will you also be having those similar conversations about doing—

Charging for exhibitions is tricky, isn't it? It's a really, really tricky one. I go to basically every exhibition that you guys put on because I think they're fantastic. I do; I love them. But it's tricky because I can understand the merit when it comes to…

Yes, I was coming back onto that, because it was quite heartbreaking, actually, seeing that that well-being score just hasn't budged at all. Because, like you said, these are people who go into that field and sector—we all know, probably, a lot of…

My first question is to do with staff well-being in Amgueddfa Cymru. In the letter you provided to us in September, you gave some information relating to that. It's to do with the well-being score comparison. I was wondering if you could go into a bit more…

Diolch. Thank you for the overview. You answered a lot of my questions already. One of the questions I had, and you kind of touched upon it, is—. Obviously, we've got a new Government in place now, so I was just wondering what discussions you've had with this…
