Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Prif Weithredwr a'r Cadeirydd dros dro
You can do that in six to 12 months?

Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Prif Weithredwr a'r Cadeirydd dros dro
Thank you, both. Just a very quick final question, which I hope you can give a very short answer or a bullet point answer on, but what does success look like over the next six to 12 months—not long term; over the next six to 12 months—for you both?

Yes. So, Mabon, we've got about five minutes or so to answer questions from you.

I'm so sorry we're short of time, but ever such a quick answer to that, because I need to allow time for Mabon because we're over time. So, just a quick response to that.

We're over time, but I want to allow some time for Mabon, for any final questions he's got. But, Gareth, you wanted to come in with a quick one, as long as it's a quick one and a quick answer.

And have you been set any expectations that you think are unreasonable or an inappropriate challenge from the Government, in your view?

Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Prif Weithredwr a'r Cadeirydd dros dro
Is there any challenge that you were expecting that you haven't received from the Welsh Government? Have the Welsh Government challenged you in all the areas that you would expect to be challenged in?

Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Prif Weithredwr a'r Cadeirydd dros dro
Is that right, Carol, from your perspective?

Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Prif Weithredwr a'r Cadeirydd dros dro
The Welsh Government's got those two roles, as you say, so it's bringing that oversight, that support and that direction, but then, they've also got to bring challenge. So, are they bringing appropriate challenge?

Before I come on to Jack for the next set of questions—just a quick answer on this—in terms of the special measures process, has there been, in your view, sufficient oversight, direction and support from the Welsh Government and the Welsh Government's…

I'm asking the question in the context of getting the right people in post, I suppose, because that's, obviously, quite key to this—

Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Prif Weithredwr a'r Cadeirydd dros dro
Do you envisage any problems in terms of recruiting to those posts?

Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Prif Weithredwr a'r Cadeirydd dros dro
When would you envisage that full team being in place in terms of permanent positions?
23 Tachwedd 2023 , Health and Social Care Committee
Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Prif Weithredwr a'r Cadeirydd dros dro
Yes, I noted that.

And what about the executive posts as well, then, in terms of what posts remain to be filled?

Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Prif Weithredwr a'r Cadeirydd dros dro
Have there been any difficulties in recruiting?

Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Prif Weithredwr a'r Cadeirydd dros dro
I'll just bring Mabon in. Mabon.

But all that was in place last time the board was in special measures and it didn't seem to be—it wasn't successful. So, that's why I'm trying to grapple—. It's not that I'm trying to catch anyone out, I'm genuinely looking at if there's a better way for the…

But does the special measures process that's in place now—is that the right process? Is that fit for purpose?

Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Prif Weithredwr a'r Cadeirydd dros dro
Am I drawing out of that that one area of change for the special measures process is that it should be more focused on the long term than it is now, and it is too focused on the short term?

Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Prif Weithredwr a'r Cadeirydd dros dro
But, back to my question, I suppose: what would you, if anything, change about the special measures process, from your professional perspective?

From your perspective, though, have you had—? This is going off on a tangent a bit, but have you had full clarity from the Minister and Welsh Government officials about what's expected of you?
23 Tachwedd 2023 , Health and Social Care Committee
Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda'r Prif Weithredwr a'r Cadeirydd dros dro
Have you had that, by the way?
