Cynllunio Gweithlu Llywodraeth Cymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth (rhan 1)
Of course. Out of curiosity, I just wanted to know: what were the areas that had the main number or most focus of TDAs?

Sally-Ann, can I just ask you a sub-question? You said that pre pandemic you had 800 and you said you peaked during COVID, what was that peak figure, please?

Cynllunio Gweithlu Llywodraeth Cymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth (rhan 1)
Excellent. Thank you so much. I want to ask you a little bit about TDAs, so temporary duties allowances. What's the progress on reducing the use of TDAs now, going forward, in line with the new policy restricting their use, agreed with the trade unions in…

Thanks, Dr Goodall. Do you feel that the Welsh Government has seen a return to high levels of internal churn since the internal competition resumed after the pandemic? And if so, what is it you think is the impact on staff and the delivery of work?

Thanks, Rhianon. There is one final question that I have. It's very much a personal/professional one when it comes to it. Obviously, I am a huge believer in diversity, but I'm equally a believer in meritocracy as well, and the question was raised to me by a…

Cynllunio Gweithlu Llywodraeth Cymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth (rhan 1)
Absolutely. Thank you so much. I know Rhianon Passmore's raised her hand; please, Chair, if you want to give Rhianon a chance to jump in, that's fine.

Fantastic. Thank you so much for that. And are there any particular groups that are still subject to headcount controls within the civil service, and, if so, how will the headcount limits be set and managed going forward as well?
2 Chwefror 2023 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Cynllunio Gweithlu Llywodraeth Cymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth (rhan 1)
Okay. Fantastic. Are there any particular skills—? We often talk about them, but are there any particular skills that you find are in short supply at the moment, and are there any short-term plans to address those gaps, going forward?

Cynllunio Gweithlu Llywodraeth Cymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth (rhan 1)
For the organisation, yes, you can go for the organisation, or departmentally. It's entirely up to you. We often get percentages thrown at us and we often get thrown different facts and figures, but is there a magic number for you in this?
2 Chwefror 2023 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Cynllunio Gweithlu Llywodraeth Cymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth (rhan 1)
Understood. Dr Goodall—and I'm more than happy to put this question to the other members here on the panel today—what number is the dream number where you can actually turn around and say, 'We've achieved success in this area'?

Thank you so much, Chair. Good morning, everyone. It's lovely to see you. I'm going to be asking you some questions about staff resourcing. I know my colleague, Rhianon Passmore, asked you a number of questions, but I'm going to try and delve in a little bit…

Chair, I'm happy to wait until June in that case, purely because, if the difference is just two months and one of those months we're going to be off anyway, it's absolutely fine for us to take that extra time. I completely agree with what you and Rhianon have…

[Inaudible.]—that they've sent us. I appreciate, obviously, it's very new news in the eyes of everyone, but I would humbly suggest that the committee does go back and revisit this, because there is a very interesting sentence in the letter we received, which…

That's absolutely fine, Chris. Not a problem. I'll ask you a sub-question, if that's okay. What would be the ideal scenario for you in relation to business rates? We've mentioned reform, that change is needed. What would be a great way of implementing a…

I appreciate both your answers. Speaking about raising the incentive for people getting involved and getting more business and trade on our high streets, the UK Government is following a policy of low-tax investment zones—I'm sure you're both aware of…
