Offerynnau nad ydynt yn cynnwys unrhyw faterion i’w codi o dan Reol Sefydlog 21.2 neu 21.3
In which case, we will move ahead to our regular items, the first of which, having noted James's apology today, is item No. 2, which is instruments that raise no reporting issues under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3. We've got some here in front of us in your…

Is there anything else on the issue of transparency that we need to bottom out here? There are seven years—going back to my old HND studies about 50-odd years ago where we used to do this critical path analysis—working back from 2030. There are probably much…

So, you've had good support from them, with their expertise. It's going forward for reprocurement shortly. Would you have any suggestions, from your perspective, about, in that reprocurement design, what could perhaps be better? Should we introduce the more…

Yes. It's just a good opportunity to follow up on that, because if that is the organisation that should have a more regional grip on this, as well, and bring partners together, including some of these more innovation tie-ins of different technologies that can…

Could I ask you whether all health boards, trusts, and the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership have all now published their decarbonisation action plans, as set out in the NHS strategic delivery plan, and if not, why not?

Sorry, I didn't mean to drag you down the transport—but specifically on the carbon cost within new build, against—. It's always tempting, and sometimes quite understandable, to say that, in order to get to the next generation of zero-carbon buildings and the…

Sorry, I know this isn't where you wanted me to be going, Chair, but it's fascinating, because if you look at the roads review at the moment, one of the things the roads review has taken into account is actually the carbon costs of building new roads…

Yes. You've just thrown up two interesting things. One is, you've said on a couple of occasions now that one of your contingencies, one of the two main contingencies, is capital spend going forward, and it's going to get more acute. That hill's getting more…

Right. So, I take it as implicit within that answer that you'd like to see that greater clarity so that everybody knows what their share towards this should be, yes? I can see, Jonathan, you're nodding.

Thank you, Chair. Can I just ask you for your assessment on how effective you think the public sector route-map is in providing that strategic direction for decarbonisation?

Just one small one for Andrew, from his perspective. When the audit body was in front of us earlier on, they were talking about their support for well-managed risks in driving towards decarbonisation and zero carbon. How do you as a local authority or as…

Very quickly, then, if I can turn to reporting emissions, could I ask what's your assessment of the usability of the Welsh public sector net-zero carbon reporting guide as it stands? And on the basis that it went through a bit of a rejig last year—it went to…

Thank you very much for that answer. I can see you coming in as well, but maybe I can throw this in and you'll both want to respond. Away from the health boards per se, and wider reach across the public realm, you mentioned hydrogen earlier on and, of course…

Sorry, Chair, but I want to try to push just a little bit deeper. Where do you do that sort of collaboration? Is it just on bilateral engagement, spotting an opportunity with Cwm Taf health authority, or other ones across Wales with different local…

That's good. Maybe if I can do just a couple of follow-ups away from the climate strategy panel itself. We're aware from the audit office that the health boards, for example, have a slightly shallower hill to climb—a 34 per cent reduction by 2030. Of course…
