The thing is, there are supposed to be some resilience plans, action plans, and I take it on board what you're saying, they're outdated, perhaps, in what they're asking you to do, if I understood you right. If that's the case, what conversations are you…

Yes, and also, of course, the Heart of Wales, which floods every single time and probably will do tomorrow, if not today.

Here's a timely question for you: climate adaptation and how you're embedding that in light of all the challenges within your new infrastructure projects and also current ongoing maintenance schemes.

Talking about one-year budgets, my next question is this: will the budget that you have for 2025-26 be sufficient for you to deliver the remit that you have? Are there any areas of concern?

When we were last discussing the budget, there was a challenge being put in by the Welsh Government for you to move to a multi-year forward-look budget process. I understand what you’re saying about actuals and variables making that a bigger challenge, maybe…

Money, budget setting, that's what I'm interested in. You have outlined, and it's in front of me, how your budget is developed. Has it become more streamlined and more effective in recent years? That's my question.

—quick question, and you can, again, write to me. I take your point about multicultural understanding, but that just leads me straight to another question, and this is the other question: your policies. I would like to see them in terms of the expectation of…

It’s great listening to what you’re saying, and it's really good, and, of course, we do need more women, but you need more diversity too, so we need to know about both of those things, and since we haven’t asked you the question, I’d like to see the answer…

Statement by the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs: Restoring nature in Wales
Diolch. There are some wonderful things happening, not least in some of the schools that are also funded, and if we're going to do anything positive going forward, we'll be relying on the next generation. So, Ysgol y Bedol, which is in my area in…

Questions to the First Minister
I'm particularly pleased to have heard the announcement of the £100,000 extra money for the seagrass project, and of course it is necessary because it's come about from the revealing statistic that, over the last 30 years, 90 per cent of seagrass meadow has…

—out of time. But, if I can be really cheeky, which I’m going to be, we looked at capital spending, and it was very focused on hard hospital structures. The majority of people, we all know, don’t actually go to hospital for their care, and we’ve invested—the…

Yes, but I’d also like a note on workforce planning, as that links into budgets and to training, and to workforce management, returning to the workforce, to post-lifetime events, and a lot of good work was done in COVID to speed those processes up, or even to…

Ten million pounds: there was an increase for the social work bursary over three years, from 2021-22, which means it could come to an end now in 2025. We'll have it as written, because of time. So, the obvious question is: is it going to be maintained, and if…
