Craffu Blynyddol ar Medr
Okay, thank you. Regarding the mapping of subject demand and provision across HE, to what extent would any interventions on individual subjects, such as incentivising and supporting institutions, be the responsibility of Medr, and/or the Welsh Government, and…

Craffu Blynyddol ar Medr
Good. I think that would be very welcome by everyone here, as well as beyond. I will keep my next question, or my sub-question, quite short. I know we've talked a lot about financial sustainability, and I know you've mentioned the issues with regard to…

Craffu Blynyddol ar Medr
And just for my understanding again now, the fact that you're meeting twice a month, or your teams are, with those financial heads, you're getting your reports on a regular basis—is that something that was set up by yourselves, or was that agreed by the…

Craffu Blynyddol ar Medr
I appreciate that. I really do. As a team, I'd like to get a bit more of an understanding. If you're meeting with various universities—if you could just explain to us here on the committee—how often do you meet with the universities? Is it a regular thing?…

Craffu Blynyddol ar Medr
Thank you very much, Chair. I'm going to ask a bit about higher education institutions, if that's okay. We're seeing higher education institutions managing their financial challenges in different ways across Wales. Some are seeing a decline in international…

Craffu Blynyddol ar Medr
Okay. Have you got any contingency plans in place if, indeed, a new Government comes into place and the money that's been ring-fenced for Medr at the moment doesn't actually fit in or doesn't manage to cover all of the priorities that you have in future? How…

Craffu Blynyddol ar Medr
You mentioned the election to my colleague, Russell George, in one of your answers to him. So, obviously, an election is indeed upon us in May 2026. So, what plans are you, as Medr, going to be putting into place to ensure that there's a smooth transition to…

Craffu Blynyddol ar Medr
Okay. Great. What's Medr's experience of operating under a phased approach of transferring powers within the Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Act 2022? Do you feel that this approach has helped operations so far?

Craffu Blynyddol ar Medr
That's good to hear. Have there been any challenges that you've faced whilst having to work between different portfolios and different Government Ministers, I should say?

Craffu Blynyddol ar Medr
Good morning, both. For the benefit of the committee, how would you describe your working relationship with Welsh Government?

Cwestiynau Amserol
Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, fel cymaint o rai eraill yn y Siambr hon, cefais fy niflasu'n fawr gan y golygfeydd gwirioneddol ofnadwy a welsom yn y Fenni nos Sul. Yn ddealladwy, mae’r gymuned mewn sioc, gyda chartrefi wedi'u colli, busnesau wedi’u dinistrio, ac yn…

And alongside numbers, we love formulas, so please feel free to share the formula with the committee—we'd be very grateful. My final question is this: what assessment has the Welsh Government made in relation to ongoing funding needs to support Ukrainians in…

Okay, great. Just a small sidebar to the question that you’ve just answered, which was great. And I’m sorry, I’m jumping on Mike Hedges’s questions from earlier. On the £2.5 million that you received, for example, for homelessness, you said that has been…

Thank you so much for your answer. How much UK Government funding is the Welsh Government expecting to receive for the year 2024-25 relating to the Ukraine response, including any funding to prevent homelessness amongst Ukrainians?
