Cynllunio Gweithlu Llywodraeth Cymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth (rhan 2)
This is for Andrew Goodall, and he's probably going to consider this to be an unfair question, because he may say that it goes back before his time. But, should the Welsh Government not previously have had a formalised workforce strategy?

ICT contractors can be incredibly expensive. How do you balance that—bringing people in at £500 a day, £1,000 a day, which are pretty standard rates for ICT contractors—against, actually, full-time recruitment?

Can I talk about key, long-term skills deficits? I know there's an ICT shortage, generally. I know about ICT, so I'll concentrate on that. Do you have problems with skills deficit within ICT, of actually recruiting people who are qualified in ICT? Or do you…

Thank you very much. If I can move on to strategic workforce planning. Can you give an update on developing the workforce strategy and initial action plan, and when will it be published?

I'll just make a comment here. I had a very nasty cold over Christmas and the first week we came back, which I had great difficulty in getting rid of. If I had been doing a job that involved me doing lots of travel and lots of difficult things, I may well…

Thank you for that. I now want to explore the sickness and absence area. You know what sickness and absence is, but these high-level numbers, going back to what you just said, give you data but not necessarily information. That's how I would describe it. If…

Can you correlate those areas where you've had a poor response in terms of the staff survey, where people tend to be unhappy or indicate they're not happy, with staff turnover? Are the unhappy areas the areas where you're having the biggest turnover, and are…

I want to talk about staff welfare and the staff survey. You had a staff survey in autumn 2021, which we've seen. How did the 2022 results differ from it?

Unusually, Natasha and I are disagreeing on this. I don't want to bring the date forward. I think there are an awful lot of things that could happen in the airport industry and in holiday flights and such, low-cost flights. We've seen what's happened to…

Fe wnes i dicio'r blwch 'siarad Cymraeg', ond gallwn i fod wedi ticio'r blwch 'nid wyf yn siarad Cymraeg'. A yw'r Gweinidog yn cytuno â mi, mewn cyfrifiadau yn y dyfodol, ar ôl 'Ydych chi'n siarad Cymraeg?', dylech fod â chwestiwn yn gofyn, 'Pa mor aml? A…

Mae'r cyfrifiad yn fesur gwael iawn o nifer y siaradwyr Cymraeg. Wrth gwrs, yn y cyfrifiadau cynnar, y cwestiwn oedd 'Cymraeg, Saesneg neu'r ddau'. Mae'n hunan-ddewis. Mae rhieni hefyd yn gwneud penderfyniad ar ran eu plant, felly nid yw'n ddull cywir o…

If no additional money comes from Westminster, are local authorities on their own, which means schools are on their own, or will there be an opportunity to dip into reserves in order to partly fund it? I know health has its own reserve, which is bigger than…

The concern is recruiting bus drivers per se, as, again, you know from our neck of the woods. I did ask about teachers' pay award.

Finally from me: education and schools. The education budget's coming under pressure from increasing costs of home-to-school transport. That's not just in our back yard in Swansea, it's right across Wales. Prices have gone up considerably. I'm sure you're…

It's a decision that's not your decision, it's a political decision, but £3.5 million in a whole lot of other places might be money better saved.

Much as I would like it to go up to £45, I think everybody in the room would, for a 10 per cent increase, which would take it in line with inflation, from the figures you gave me, would that be around £3.5 million?
