Yes, health services are delivered by the Welsh Government. I think, in the first instance, we probably need to go back to the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee, because that letter was written a little while ago. In the meantime, obviously, a…

Okay, we'll sort that out, yes. Sioned.

We have 13 papers to note. Are Members content to note them? Thank you very much. Under Standing Order 17.42—sorry, Joel, I beg your pardon. I didn't see you.

Okay, but I think I'd like to hear a little bit more about how you're engaging with public bodies to really try and turn this round. We've got 2 million appointments for health in a population of 3 million. It's not 2 million people, it's people with multiple…

Thank you. And finally, I just wanted to come back to the food area of focus, because if we look at your five missions, all of them have food; you can't achieve any of them unless you deal with the issue of food. And perhaps to pick the health and well-being…

A couple of things from me. The latest Cabinet structure that's given three Cabinet Secretaries responsibility for the well-being of future generations Act: do you see that as an opportunity or a threat of dilution?

Okay. I've never come across a public body who says, 'We need less money.' [Laughter.] There's no mention in your paper about sharing resources with other commissioners, or co-location of your offices or sharing of back-office functions, like payroll or…

I want us to move on, if that's all right. Jane Dodds, if you'd like to come in on the areas of focus that you want to tease out.

Reducing budgets is always difficult, but it's also a time when you can actually implement the change that's necessary. So, what appetite do public bodies have for doing things differently, given that they have fewer resources?

Gwaith craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol Cymru
Can you be a bit more specific on how you're going to address things differently, given that you have had a budget cut, along with all the other public bodies that you are scrutinising?

Thank you very much. I'm going to start off the questions. We now have 44 public bodies that come under the Act, with another eight joining at the end of this month, and, in addition to that, we've now got a split of Cabinet Secretary responsibilities for the…

I'm very pleased that today we are conducting our annual scrutiny of the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales, Derek Walker, who is now—you're just over a year in post. I wonder if you could just introduce your officials.
