And in terms of the assessment, in terms of staff?

Audit Wales brief: NHS digital transformation
So, I guess my question is that everything seems to be—. Lots of people are doing lots of different things. Are they looking at the possibility, has anyone ever really looked at the possibility, of jointly procuring, to begin with, particularly in terms of—?…

Introductions, apologies, substitutions and declarations of interest
As a previous trade union official, there might be moments where I refer to certain people that I may have represented. I won't name them, but obviously when it comes to workforce, skills and public sector, it's worth just noting.

I think it was a shock to both of us then. We were both looking at each other wondering what was going on. Llywydd, I really welcome the fact that we're having this debate and discussion, because the TUC congress just happened and there was a big debate about…

Audit Wales Brief: Additional Learning Needs (ALN)
A really quick one. In the previous one, we were talking about health budgets, and then, obviously, in some cases, in terms of the individual needs, there is that overlap there as well. And it was mentioned previously that maybe the focus needs to be around…

For schools, at least.

Audit Wales Brief: Additional Learning Needs (ALN)
Which is why I was wondering whether it be helpful if we had—. If it is about needs, then having the one framework, at least, would help, then, in terms of auditing.

It's pretty horrific.

Audit Wales Brief: Additional Learning Needs (ALN)
Diolch. I guess, thinking about the data, it's clearly really varied. You say there are the 22 local authorities. It's meant to be a needs-based system. So, it's meant to be designed around the needs of the individual and not just to have a one-size-fits-all…

So it's back to the legislation.

Does it go back then? Do you say, 'You haven't delivered—go back, start again'?

Audit Wales Brief: NHS accounts 2025-26
Going back to that point then, is there something—? Does the Government have all the powers that it needs in order to turn things around, to hold people accountable, to have a genuine plan to scrutinise properly? Or is there something that we're missing here…

Okay, thank you.

Audit Wales Brief: NHS accounts 2025-26
It just seems a bit strange. They're interim, they're going to be there for—. They're going to do a stint, they're going to leave. What was so special about them? Why did they get the extra, given, like I say, that there are all these other staffing…

One quick one. It says, in terms of the two executive director roles, that they were interim, but they paid them well above. Why is that the case? I mean, they were interim.

You've talked quite a bit about Cwm Taf Morgannwg, and we know that they've had a long-running dispute, of course. There have been previous disputes around pay, particularly in relation to the health visitors, and there have been other ones there. So, it's…
