Pre-appointment scrutiny hearing with the preferred candidate for the post of Chair of Amgueddfa Cymru
And finally, looking at the two relationships I've asked you about, both this committee and the Welsh Government, what do you see is the biggest difference in the way you'd handle those two relationships?

You mentioned fighting the museum's corner, if you like, just to paraphrase there. What sort of person are you doing that? Are you someone combative? Are you someone who looks to build bridges? What kind of style would you have in making that case for the…

That's where you would have a relationship with the Welsh Government. Where would you see a need for independence?

Looking at this role, what elements do you see where you would have to have a close working relationship, and what areas do you see where you'd need that independence?

Diolch. In your statement, which I've just been reading, you've said that, as the Public Health Wales vice-chair and Welsh Health Specialised Services Committee chair, you've established good relationships with the Minister for Health and Social Services and…
, Plenary
Questions to the First Minister
I thank the First Minister for his answer, but one thing I didn't hear in his response was a recognition of the hard work the staff in the NHS do on a daily basis, and they're what makes our Welsh NHS work. But they're routinely being let down by a Welsh…

Papers to note
Can I ask—? Obviously, as you rightly mentioned, this is the second time that's happened. Did we feed back the first time or not? Because I remember having this discussion after the first time that was made. Did we feed back after the first time, with our…

And the final question I asked this morning, and I'll ask it again in this second session, is: how suitable is online access for experiencing contemporary art?

No, that's fine. I'm happy with anecdotal feedback, even if you don't have a figure to mind.

Yes. Has anybody else got any insight on the engagement work, perhaps, that has been done here off the back of this digitisation project, in terms of how many people are engaging with this work now that it has been digitised?

So, do you have a degree of confidence that they are considering a wider picture, if you like, looking at different groups and how they're interacting with the digital infrastructure?

National contemporary art gallery: evidence session 2 - interest groups
Good that I didn't imagine that. When we asked about feedback, obviously that isn't purely linear, that isn't purely in terms of the volume of people, perhaps, witnessing these collections, but actually are we looking at educational institutions that are…

Okay. Thank you. You talked, Sandra—I'll direct this question at Sandra, but if either of the two of you want to chip in, you're more than welcome to—you mentioned about your role in providing feedback and that that was an ongoing project. I think you…

Thank you very much. I just wanted to talk about the digital access, which I know you touched on in earlier answers as well. So, can I start just by asking how involved the three of you have been with Amgueddfa Cymru's project to digitise their contemporary…

Thank you. And one final question from me, which is an interesting one, I guess, to finish on, to think of: how suitable is online access for experiencing contemporary art?

And then, obviously, digitisation is not cheap, as you can imagine. So, how are you funding that at the moment, and how do you envision funding that? As you say, that work's ongoing.

It's encouraging to hear you've had some really good feedback on it so far. How are you measuring that feedback? I'm sure it's not purely about numbers. Carolyn earlier mentioned the importance of people in an educational setting, for example, engaging with…

I'm going to move on to the digitisation programme, which we've touched on. Just as a broad overview, because I know it's been touched on numerous times, where is that at the moment, how far along the path are we?

Finally on funding, do you think that the dispersed model that you're pursuing is more amenable to potential commercial income? Or the points Alun made in favour of this anchor site—would that not be something more amenable, to lend itself better to…
