I don't mind. You don't have to restrict yourself to one, but—.

Gwaith craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol Cymru
Very good. And finally from me, what's the one key piece of advice you would give to your successor?

Jane Dodds.

Thank you. Altaf, you wanted to come back in.

Before I bring Altaf Hussain back in, I wonder if I could just ask you whether—. In light of the very significant budgetary challenges the public bodies are going to be facing in the next few years, how confident are you that they've imbibed the well-being…

Okay. Let's get back down to planet Earth. Sarah Murphy.

Disappointment.

Gwaith craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol Cymru
Yes, go ahead, Altaf—please go ahead.

So, welcome back to our second session with the well-being of future generations commissioner, looking back on her seven years in office. Sioned Williams.

Gwaith craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol Cymru
Do we want to have a quick break? Yes, I think we'll take a quick break, Sophie, so that we can resolve this, and then we'll be straight back, for anybody who is listening or watching online.

Sophie, you don't need to unmute yourself; the technical staff will do that for you.

Gwaith craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol Cymru
We continue our scrutiny session with the well-being of future generations commissioner, and this second part is, really, looking backwards at the achievements of Sophie Howe's seven-year term. So, while Sophie fetches something—[Laughter.] Sioned Williams is…

So, instead of coming back at—. If we can come back at 14:55, and then we can resume on the longer term perspective on your seven-year term. Thank you very much indeed. So, we'll see you at 14:55. Thank you very much.
12 Rhagfyr 2022 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Gwaith craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol Cymru
Okay. Thank you very much for that. Unless any other Members have got a burning issue they want to pick up on now, I suggest that we take a slightly earlier break, and possibly endeavour to come back five minutes earlier, if that's all right with you, Sophie?

Gwaith craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol Cymru
Well, I think in terms of the progress on the national indicators, the milestones.
12 Rhagfyr 2022 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Gwaith craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol Cymru
So, to finish, really, what are the areas that you're deeply worried about, because you're described as saying that you're deeply worried about some areas, so, which are they?
12 Rhagfyr 2022 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Gwaith craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol Cymru
Okay. So, clearly, progress has been made. Are public services boards resilient enough now to weather the storm ahead in terms of the budgetary cuts that are, obviously, on the horizon?
12 Rhagfyr 2022 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Gwaith craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol Cymru
We have 22 local authorities, some of them half the size of the largest ones, and I always saw the public services boards as the vehicle for that long-term, joined-up working. They've been in existence now for six years. What work have you been doing to…

Gwaith craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol Cymru

Over to Jayne Bryant.

Gwaith craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol Cymru
Okay. We heard what you said. We can always come back to it. We're going to need to move on now, because we've still got quite a lot of questions in this first section. Jane Dodds.
12 Rhagfyr 2022 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Gwaith craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol Cymru
Thank you. Thank you for sharing with the committee the section 20 review report, which was published today. I know Altaf Hussain has got some questions on that.

Gwaith craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol Cymru
Thank you. Just following up on one point, it's the Department for Work and Pensions who should be paying for young people to be able to get to a job interview, isn't it? What conversations have you had, if any, with a non-devolved Government department on…
12 Rhagfyr 2022 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Gwaith craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol Cymru
Okay. Because we're not going to be able to decarbonise people's homes, if we haven't got the skills to do it, so that is something that is definitely a piece of work that needs to be done in the future. Can I pass over to Sioned Williams now?
