Diolch yn fawr iawn.

Scrutiny of Transport for Wales - session 2
So, they're all in there. Are you suggesting that there are some additional ones as well?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Scrutiny of Transport for Wales - session 2
Okay. That's exactly what we're talking about. And again, key performance indicators, you suggested at that time, would have to be updated and changed to go alongside that. Where are we on that?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Scrutiny of Transport for Wales - session 2
Yes. Okay. Maybe you can educate me here a bit. I was going to go on the question of a new service agreement that you said, I think in the economy committee in November 2020, would be put in place as a result of that change in ownership. Is the grant…

There's no question about that. Okay.

So, it seems you're clear that—. You're confident that the commitments made under the original franchise on improving quality of services still stand.

Those are principles that are very important to me, and I think I speak on behalf of at least some of the members of this committee too. Are you starting to see rock-solid examples of where you are able to do that and take decisions that would be different to…

Can I just interrupt you there?

Scrutiny of Transport for Wales - session 2
Diolch yn fawr iawn. We're still in a fairly brave newish world of fully publicly run rail franchise in Wales. I'd just like to look at the changes that have happened because of that change of governance, specifically progress around delivery of the original…

Yes, of course. Okay, thank you. Diolch.

Scrutiny of Transport for Wales - session 1
A quick question on the five-year statement of funds available for Transport for Wales, referred to in the Wales transport strategy: how does that work from your point of view? What kind of mechanisms are in place to review that five-year forward look?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Scrutiny of Transport for Wales - session 1
And, of course, we would recognise that there's a level of detail that we wouldn't expect, perhaps, or we couldn't scrutinise because it would be the minutiae of how you run a transport system. It's that overall sort of business plan that we're interested in.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Scrutiny of Transport for Wales - session 1
From a scrutiny point of view, of course, what we want to be able to do is check delivery against what was promised would be delivered, and that's why it's important for us here in the Senedd to understand what you're trying to achieve, so we can measure—…

Scrutiny of Transport for Wales - session 1
Maybe I'm failing to understand, but it strikes me that, perhaps, discussions are happening at the wrong time of year and maybe discussions should take place in the run-up to the publication of the draft budget, perhaps. Is there a chicken-and-egg situation…

Scrutiny of Transport for Wales - session 1
Thank you very much. Good afternoon to you. I'd like to look at some issues of budget setting for Transport for Wales and take us back to the beginning of this afternoon's discussion and those questions around the business plan. Now, in January, we got the…

Debate on a Member's Legislative Proposal: Janet Finch-Saunders (Aberconwy)—Marine planning in Wales
Thank you for the motion in front of us today to the Member for Aberconwy. I see value in considering how we could draw together the different elements with regard to planning related to the marine environment, even though, like the Member for Ogmore, I'm not…

Questions to the Senedd Commission
Thank you very much for that idea. Certainly, we do need always to be trying to innovate in the way that we engage with people. The Petitions Committee, of course, is a committee that is driven by that direct engagement with the people of Wales. I know that…

Questions to the Senedd Commission
Thank you very much for the question. Encouraging engagement with committees is a very important element of the Senedd's engagement work, to ensure, of course, that the public's view is reflected in our discussions. During the pandemic, we reached new…

Women and girls' health: evidence session with the Women's Health Wales Coalition
And do you know what? It strikes me that in putting a practical set of measures in place—a women's health plan—you're breaking the cycle of something far deeper than practical, medical issues. There's still stigma around menstruation, there's still stigma…

Thank you very much, Chair. In all likelihood, I can keep my contribution quite brief. Because all three of you have spoken with such great understanding and such passion, you've touched on almost everything that I wanted to pursue. I was wanting to look at…
