Craffu ar Gyfrifon - Comisiwn y Senedd 2025-26: sesiwn dystiolaeth
But do you understand that that confused the system? I was getting leaflets and even I was going, 'Wait a minute, I don't think I even understand the system because this leaflet is telling me something different than your booklet.'

Just on the elections and explaining how the system works, was there any attempt to alleviate some of the misinformation that was provided from some of the parties? Some parties were saying, 'You have to vote for us to keep Reform out', whereas this was…

I understand, but you mentioned there that there was a budget of what you 'thought was correct', and I'm interested in understanding the thought process of how you think that is correct.

I don't know what that means. Can you just dumb it down, the answer? What makes you decide it's double the budget?

Just going back to Alun's question on the election-related costs, you spoke about that it was double those for the previous election. I wasn't clear on why it's doubled. Why is it not triple or quadruple or 1.5 times?

Briff Archwilio Cymru: trefniadau Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer cyllido llywodraeth leol
But isn't, partly, the reason why so many grants are provided later in the year because the Welsh Government can't figure out, actually, 'How much in grants can we give local councils?' until it gets very close to the end of the financial year?

So, on restricted grants, it was incredible that £1.5 billion was allocated to councils in the last month of the financial year in 2025. So, obviously, that leaves very little time for councils to get that money and then figure out what they're supposed to…

Briff Archwilio Cymru: trawsnewid digidol y GIG
Sorry to interrupt, just one final bit. The first answer you gave me was that there is not enough investment or we need to divert some day-to-day spending into digital change. Are you changing your mind now? You're saying you're not sure if we should be…

Briff Archwilio Cymru: trawsnewid digidol y GIG
I suppose that's the balance though, right? Is the problem that we need to spend more money or is the problem that the systems we're chucking money towards are not effective? If we don't know which is the issue, we're kind of in a little bit of trouble. I can…

Briff Archwilio Cymru: trawsnewid digidol y GIG
One of my main takeaways from your report is that a lot of money is being spent on digital and technology services. Most of that is going towards keeping existing systems going rather than delivering digital change. This to me sounds a lot like the evidence…

Chair, just to jump in on that, that was an interesting thing you said, answered. People are being asked about their digital skills for day-to-day digital stuff that they're expected to do in their job. What's the point of that, given that, surely, a manager…

My main takeaway from this Audit Wales report on ALN is that the data is just not there. Have you looked at how England has this data, and is that any better?

I understand that, but I'm trying to understand the scale of how important this is. Because we've spoken about that someone's been overpaid slightly—well, I don't think that's a massive issue and we can resolve it, and it probably already has been resolved…

Briff Archwilio Cymru: Cyfrifon Cyrff y GIG ar gyfer 2025-26
Yes. Your audit reports usually say something bad all the time. But how bad is this? Because I read it and I go, 'This is mental.' But I'm wondering what are your opinions on just how bad you think this financial situation is.

You're saying it's happened before, it's happened now, it's probably going to happen again. Is that because it's too complicated? I don't understand how we fix this.
