Yes.

Yes. So, on the reconciliation of the figure, the final figure for the allocation is £830 million. I think, when we submitted the evidence paper, that was still a moving figure. So, it’s just a question of timing. That is now a final figure of £830 million as…

Yes, but they are not validated yet. But it shows, on the whole, that the figures have halved. We can write to the committee with the information that we can share currently, but, of course, they will be validated—whatever the word in Welsh for 'validated'…

There are two lines of funding on this, some is a health board level fund and some is a national level fund. So, the national funding, we've increased the central emergency budget, for example, quite significantly, and we have provision in the budget to deal…

Well, the budget for that is delegated to health boards. So, the budget itself doesn't illustrate that, but the planning process that goes with it is designed to identify that and make sure that we've tested it with health boards. So, when the boards put…

Dyw e ddim yn union i wneud â’r adeilad. Mae profiad pobl o’r ysbyty yn gyffredinol yn un positif. Mae cwestiynau o ran staffio ac mae cwestiynau o ran layout yr adran benodol honno. Felly, mae'r bwrdd iechyd wedi recriwtio pump consultant newydd fydd yn…

Certainly. So, as the committee will know, each health board is in some level of escalation. Betsi Cadwaladr is at level 5, which is the highest level, and that's across the organisation. Hywel Dda is at level 4 across the organisation. In Swansea bay…

Yes, we do both. So, again, one of the mandatory requirements of this year's planning guidance is to implement the agency staffing frameworks that we have. So, we published last year an agency workforce reduction programme and a framework to control that…

Yes, so I think the correlation between budget and the availability of places isn't a perfect correlation year on year, because there is quite a lot of scope for juggling the mix of provision that you commission within that envelope, and so I would not say…

Certainly. So, the UK Government, as you will know, has provided its remit to the pay review bodies and they are saying that they're expecting a pay bill increase, if I can put it in those terms, of 2.8 per cent. That's the figure that they have set. They…

Yes, certainly. I had a very productive discussion, actually, yesterday with the six goals team to have a clear sense of where we are with the programme, and I think that there is very good progress. The budget for next year is around £28 million. About £18…

Mae rhesymau hanesyddol diddorol—dwi ddim yn sicr y byddai'r Cadeirydd yn hapus iawn i ni drafod y rhain yn hir—am pam fod Estonia ar y blaen. Gwnaethon nhw ddechrau o'r newydd, os hoffwch chi, yn y 1990au, heb unrhyw gwestiynau legasi o gwbl, felly mae…

Dyw'r gyllideb sydd ar gael ddim yn ddigon i ddiwallu pob un o'r heriau sydd gyda ni yn ein hystâd. Mae'r ystâd yng Nghymru'n un gymharol hynafol. Hynny yw, os edrychwch chi dros y 30 mlynedd diwethaf, rhyw 40 y cant o'r ystâd sydd wedi cael ei adeiladu yn y…

I can tell you what they are for this year; we won't have broken that down for next year, because the plans for next year would be based on the performance in this year, so that isn't a piece of work that could have been done yet. But in this year, the run…

There are two aspects to that. So, take, for example, the funding that you just asked me about, the £50 million fund. We were crystal clear at the start of that process—frankly, because the plans we were funding were health board-backed plans—so we said that…

No, that really isn't the plan. Basically, the test was: where are the waits that are longer than two years? So, the plans that have been presented to us and which we are funding are across a much, much wider range of specialisms than the two or three that…
