Yes, but in terms of the example you've chosen there in terms of sharing HR, it makes sense that the HR services of the other bodies involved—the human resources, the HR element, could be restructured in order to facilitate bringing you into that as well.

So, what you're saying is that that the collaboration isn't necessarily going to lead to financial savings, which is a bit of a surprise, to be honest, because it's clear that collaboration needs to happen in order for that replicating of work that, perhaps…

Thank you very much. Following on from that point, is the collaboration that is happening going to help with the financial situation?

Impact of funding reductions for culture and sport: Evidence session with Sport Wales (4)
Is there anything else that the Welsh Government could do other than simplify the remit and provide additional funding to you, and perhaps provide long-term funding and think about preventative work more specifically. Is there anything else that the Welsh…

Impact of funding reductions for culture and sport: Evidence session with Sport Wales (4)
What changes would you like to see in the Welsh Government's budget process? You've spoken about having that long-term view, but in the past I think you've talked about creating some kind of preventative budget within health. So, could you tell us a little…

So you are confident that even those clubs at the grass-roots level are fulfilling their obligations in terms of DBS and all of these other checks that need to be undertaken. Is that a priority in terms of the use of the funding, which has reduced?

Impact of funding reductions for culture and sport: Evidence session with Sport Wales (4)
Are there some basic legal duties—on safeguarding, for example—that are undermined because of the lack of funding, for you as a body but also for the partners and the governing bodies?

Can you give us examples, just so that we can have a flavour of what is in those requirements?

Has there been any discussion about amending the remit letter? Is there a desire on your part, perhaps, to have that discussion?

Impact of funding reductions for culture and sport: Evidence session with Sport Wales (4)
Turning to the remit letter that you mentioned briefly there, I take it that that was agreed back at the beginning of this current Government’s term. Has it changed at all to reflect the change in funding that you receive?

Thank you. Secondly, you say that you don't quite know what the impact is in terms of community participation. Have you considered undertaking some sort of impact assessment, an equalities impact assessment, as is done by other organisations? Because that…

Yes, two points from me. One, can you provide a list of the partners who receive funding from you and how much they receive, so that we can see how that reduction has impacted them in financial terms? That would be very useful for us to see that.

Business Statement and Announcement
Trefnydd, you will be aware of an investigation by the BBC that includes new allegations about the paedophile Neil Foden, who was a school headteacher in my constituency. It's possible that he had abused pupils for more than 40 years. I'd like to put on…

The provision of sites for Gypsy, Roma and Travellers: Follow up—Evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, Trefnydd and Chief Whip
I know that we want to move on, but on this point about two sites and five pitches, it's important for the committee to understand the difference between a site and a pitch, I think. So, if you could send a note on those definitions, that would be useful…

So, we're far from reaching a situation of having at least five transit pitches in both north and south Wales by next year. That's not going to happen, is it? But that was the target in the 'Anti-racist Wales Action Plan', and it's slightly concerning that…

I was just going to ask about the negotiated stopping places. In terms of the evidence that we've received from local authorities this morning, I think that Anglesey is working in that way at present, but in the long term they would like to see a transit site…

Thank you, Jane. I'll move on, therefore, to discuss the transit provision, which of course is a part of the assessments. Do you believe that the fact that only two transit sites are available in Wales—? Is that sufficient for the needs of the Gypsy and…
