Cardiff Airport: Evidence session with Cardiff Airport and the Welsh Government
—in terms of you as a business?

Cardiff Airport: Evidence session with Cardiff Airport and the Welsh Government
Okay. And obviously, we would expect a robust process. How timely is the process in practice? Is it workable—

Cardiff Airport: Evidence session with Cardiff Airport and the Welsh Government
Thank you, Chair. So, this question is for the airport. In regard to, I presume, your production of a business plan, how does that link to the rescue and restructuring plan agreed with the Welsh Government? And if I'm wrong in my presumption, I'm sure you'll…

Okay, thank you.

Cardiff Airport: Evidence session with Cardiff Airport and the Welsh Government
Thank you. So, you've mentioned the new arrangements and that the senior civil servant will be further removed again. What does that look like, then, in this regard, and when will the new arrangements start?

Okay, thank you.

Just basically.

I think I got it.

Chair, is it possible—? I'm sorry, Matt, I'm finding it difficult to hear you. I'm slightly deaf myself, so is it possible to put the microphone up or something? I heard what you said, I think.

Content to note, but I think it is a positive shift and a positive move. Yes.

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Social Partnership: Armed Forces Day
Diolch, Llywydd. Thank you for this statement, and I'm glad it's been mentioned, Saturday's event in Newport to mark Armed Forces Day in Wales. It's of profound importance to us. It is still astonishing, if I go to my question, Llywydd, that opinion polls…

Okay. Thank you.

Evaluation of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014: Panel 2
So, finally, if I may, Chair, does that mean, then, that you think there would be much more synergy if those two agendas and sectors were amalgamated?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Evaluation of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014: Panel 2
—or one of you.
, Health and Social Care Committee

Both of you—
, Health and Social Care Committee
Evaluation of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014: Panel 2
Thank you for that. Thank you. And in regard to the assessment process, how is that actually working in your view?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Evaluation of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014: Panel 2
Okay. Thank you for that. That's clear. In regard then to what we've just talked about, eligibility—you've referenced it here—in terms of eligibility and the fact that the access threshold is generally deemed to be too high and that people have to wait until…

I was going to come on to that, yes.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Evaluation of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014: Panel 2
Thank you. I do hear what is being said about breaches and the equality emphasis. How much do you, though, feel that the Act generally—although it's fully accepted that it's sound in principle, and I hear your points about the guidance—is actually, in…

Evaluation of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014: Panel 1
Yes, if you could write to us in terms of regional partnership boards, in terms of your actions that you've asked to be further embedded, that would be great. But also, I think, the question around care assessments and care support, and what's missing, I…
, Health and Social Care Committee
Evaluation of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014: Panel 1
Try and see if you can boil it down. Or perhaps write to us, Chair, if that will help.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Evaluation of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014: Panel 1
And that's a whole other session in itself. So, finally, then, I've got two very short questions. Are the care assessments and care support working? What improvements are needed? And then, in regard to boards, in terms of the joint committee that we've got…
, Health and Social Care Committee
Evaluation of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014: Panel 1
Okay, thank you for that. I'm going to move on to my final questions. Your findings seem to underscore that the process of the actual person-centred co-production, and that voice of that individual, is not lived experience, despite the expectations within the…

What's actually currently being delivered across our communities in Wales? What is your snapshot that you can give us as a committee as to where you feel that is on that journey analogy that you gave us at the beginning of my questions?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Evaluation of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014: Panel 1
Pooled budgets are the way forward. Could you briefly give me your current assessment of the appropriateness of implementation of those preventative services in the community?
