Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2022-23: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Thank you very much, and I think that it is the direction of travel, and as you can probably see, I'm working from my Morriston office now, which I walked to this morning, and I think that's an example of the best form of travel. But can I move on to health?…

Thank you for that answer. You talked about transport and moving towards sustainable transport, but aren't we seeing major behavioural changes at the moment and people are travelling less? The Government is asking them to travel less, but even without that…

I'm very pleased to hear the Minister mention nature as well as carbon reduction; I'd like the environment to be mentioned as well, but I assume that was just an oversight rather than excluding it. But what do we expect to see at the end of this year in those…

That means 'yes', that they will still be able to have their own health reserves.

But this will not affect departmental reserves. Health always keep a very substantial departmental reserve. That'll still be in place, won't it?

Ombwdsmon Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Cymru—Gwrandawiad cyn enwebu
And the final question from me, which is a much shorter one. One of the things that Nick Bennett tried to do, and many of us were in favour of, was give a voice to the voiceless, especially for people like the homeless and others. Will you be meeting with…

Thank you very much. I think that you and the auditor general have jobs or roles that are different to everybody else working in the public sector. You do it on behalf of yourself, in many respects: you are the ombudsman, the auditor general is the auditor…

Ombwdsmon Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Cymru—Gwrandawiad cyn enwebu
It's a high-profile role, the public services ombudsman, and, whilst being managing director of Blaenau Gwent is a high-profile role in Blaenau Gwent, without being disrespectful, it doesn't have much of an effect on what's going on in Swansea, for example. I…

Ombwdsmon Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Cymru—Gwrandawiad cyn enwebu
I welcome your commitment to early resolution. Very few people set out to do a bad job, no organisation sets out to do a bad job, but people make mistakes. I'm a football fan, and I see defenders making mistakes all the time. They don't do it on purpose, it's…

I unmuted myself then, so it got a bit confusing. Well, Michelle, as you know, we've met previously when you held a post down in Swansea. The question I've got for you is: you're managing director of Blaenau Gwent, and you cannot be managing director or chief…

Datganiad gan y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd: Diogelwch Adeiladau
Mae hyn yn rhywbeth yr wyf i wedi gofyn amdano dros gyfnod o amser; mae'n fater o bryder difrifol. Fel y Gweinidog, sydd â'r datblygiad ar ochr arall yr afon, mae gen i ddatblygiad SA1, lle mae nifer o'r eiddo hyn. Un o'r problemau mwyaf, serch hynny…

The final question is: will the need to get consent from the commission to pass on funds be a barrier to collaboration, particularly considering the level of collaboration involved in research and innovation, and also the amount of research and innovation…

Thank you. Sorry, I could see you and hear you, but apparently you couldn't see me. Really, my first question on collaboration is: is the Bill going to help collaboration, especially with other organisations that aren't covered by the Bill, such the role that…

Thank you. Can I just come back on that? There used to be adult basic skills, which didn't have qualifications, which got adults up to a level of ability to do things. Is that still in existence? And, if not, would you like it?

Bil Addysg Drydyddol ac Ymchwil (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Finally, to Adult Learning Wales, you state in your paper you want greater clarity on the Bill's intention with regard to the balance of adult learning aimed at obtaining qualifications and more informal or non-accredited learning. I speak as someone who has…

One of the things that all politicians and the Government talk about is having more higher level apprenticeships, level 4 and 5 apprenticeships, and the benefit of that. So, to what extent could the Bill as currently drafted help or hinder delivering these…

Bil Addysg Drydyddol ac Ymchwil (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Can I just thank you for that answer? The Bill provides for different powers, duties, conditions and different funding mechanisms for different types of provision. To what extent does this impact on the aim of creating one post-16 system?

Bil Addysg Drydyddol ac Ymchwil (Cymru) - sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Diolch. I want to talk about collaboration, but, before I do that, can I just thank—? I can't remember who made the statement about the difficulty of mergers. That is incredibly helpful, to me at least, because I keep on talking to people in the Senedd who…

Mae tlodi bwyd yn bodoli. Mae'n sicr yn bodoli yn nwyrain Abertawe. Yr hyn sydd wedi fy synnu yw banciau bwyd yn dechrau yn yr hyn roeddwn i bob amser yn meddwl amdanynt fel maestrefi cyfoethog gorllewin Abertawe. O'r wyth ward yn Nwyrain Abertawe, mae gan…
