Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 3
You've previously outlined the importance of investing in skills and training—I very much welcome that—and you've welcomed some specific commitments in the budget. What about high-level skills? That's one of the areas that Wales is very weak in, and, if you…

Very briefly, can you send us a link for the Nuffield report? The second point is that the danger of telling the Welsh Government to make something more efficient is that they'll just create bigger and bigger organisations that eventually perform worse and…

Moving on, the funding outlook doesn't look good, though, as we also know there's going to be a general election next year, I think that the likelihood is that all those numbers we've had for our five-year programme will disappear next year. They might come…

A couple more questions: do you think the budget shows sufficient evidence of how policy is evidence driven and how outcomes will be evaluated, or is it what I seem to see it as, which is just a continuation of what we had last year with a little bit more…

Thank you. Moving on to the budget, you've seen the budget documentation. Are you able to easily identify areas that are being deprioritised or delayed?

I'll carry on talking about capital for the next few moments and the effect of inflation and increased costs on social housing plans in housing associations, in councils, which are starting to build houses again. How do you see that being affected? Of course…

David, just on what you said there, would an increase in unemployment actually affect the amount of income tax that the Welsh Government take? Also, is it possible it would have a knock-on effect on house prices, which has an effect on the money we get from…

Diolch i'r Prif Weinidog am yr ymateb yna. Nid oedd y gwasanaeth 15:12 o Lansamlet yn yr amserlen reilffordd a gyhoeddwyd ar gyfer Rhagfyr 2022—ychwanegwyd hwn ar ôl i mi godi pryderon o dan gwestiynau busnes. Un mater yr wyf wedi'i godi'n flaenorol yw bod…

Cwestiynau i Weinidog yr Economi
A gaf fi ddiolch i’r Gweinidog am ei ymateb? Fel y soniais ddoe mewn cwestiwn i’r Prif Weinidog, mae llawer o lwyddiannau uwch-dechnoleg wedi bod yn SA1. Hefyd, mae SA1 yn ddatblygiad pellach yn Abertawe sy’n cyfuno mannau preswyl, cyflogaeth sgil uchel a…

Can I ask the Minister about primary care? Primary care has done very badly since the merger of primary and secondary care. And this is a matter of fact, not of opinion—the percentage of money spent on primary care has gone down since they were merged, and…

And something that this committee—well, mainly myself and the Chair—have been very keen on is outputs. We've talked a lot about that over the last 15 months and I've certainly talked about it over the last 11 years. It's outputs that matter, not inputs. But…
