Ombwdsmon Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Cymru—Craffu ar Adroddiad Blynyddol a Chyfrifon 2021-22, a’r Amcangyfrif ar gyfer 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
I want to talk about staff experiences. One of the things I always feel with organisations is that you have lots of services, et cetera, and I'm going to talk to you about that next, but the first thing I'm going to talk to you about is staff turnover…

Okay, yes, because we have a different understanding. My understanding is that attending one meeting in six months is absolute, and if you suspend somebody for six months, they can't attend a meeting within that six-month period.

The point I was making is that, if you don't attend a meeting for six months, you automatically become disqualified, unless the council give you dispensation. What I'm saying is, if you do that, does that mean that people get disqualified? If you don't know…

If you suspend an elected member for more than six months, does that automatically create a by-election, because they would not have been able to attend a meeting during that six months?

Datganiad a Chyhoeddiad Busnes
Hoffwn i ofyn am ddau ddatganiad gan y Llywodraeth. Mae'r un cyntaf ar ardaloedd menter. Cafodd wyth ardal fenter eu creu yng Nghymru. Cynhaliodd y Pwyllgor Cyllid ymchwiliad yn 2013; roedd diweddariad ysgrifenedig ym mis Mawrth eleni. Rwy'n gofyn am yr…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you for the 'yes' from you, Peredur. [Laughter.] I was looking for a 'yes' from—

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
And you'll send us a copy of the current staff structure?

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Yes, certainly. It would have been helpful if it had been in the papers, but perhaps for next year.

About two, three years ago, where you had the directors—got no problem with—but you had an awful lot of people between director and the people who were actually at the lowest level. I can't remember off the top of my head, but I think it was five or six…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
That's always a great question, Ken, because I'm familiar with a staff structure; whether it's the most recent or not, I've no idea, because, in those immortal words, I don't know what I don't know.

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
My concern is not at director level, and it is not at the lower levels; it is the bit in between: you tend to have a fairly traditional structure, when lots of organisations move to a flatter structure. I just wanted to ask you, 'Have you had a look at it?'

The staffing structure.

I ask this every year, so it would be strange if I didn't. Have you given any further thought to flattening the structure?

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
I'm aware of that, but we probably want them to be here anyway, and it's worth whatever it costs for us to have them here, isn't it, for the amount of media coverage we get?

As you know, Ken, they were using office space in the Pierhead up until a few years ago. I went to meet them in different places to have an argument with them. What I'm saying is, if you're saying they're not renting it anymore, then they obviously won't be…

And finally from me, within Tŷ Hywel, you've got Welsh Government offices. In the Pierhead, you've got Cardiff University offices. Do they pay what is the correct rent, the rent as would be calculated by an estate agent?

Okay. Thank you. And finally from me—and this is getting on to, really, the big question—we've got a building there that we are renting; we've rented it for some time. We've got a repairing lease on it. I won't ask you if it's full or partial repairing…

I didn't phrase it very well. I'll have another go at it. If you could, within a year, by making changes like take capital money to isolate my office and close it down from being heated on the days I'm not here, if that actually could be done, if you have the…

If you get pay back for expenditure in terms of capital within a year, you could use revenue to replace capital in order that you use it in the first year, but after that you have the revenue savings running on. Is that an area that is being considered?
