It's just a general one, really, on your priorities. I read that you made an additional £7.8 million available for school standards to help retain teaching and other school staff. I just wanted to get an idea, then, about why staff, then, are leaving the…

I've only really got one, if that's okay. A lot of my questions have already been answered.

Yes. Thank you, Chair. I don't know if you are able to answer this, so apologies if you can't. So, £2 million has been allocated to increase and broaden suicide prevention and self-harm, and expand the FE/HE student mental health liaison service. I just…

Could you repeat that, sorry?

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26 - sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Thank you for that. Quickly, you mentioned there, then, that move away from regional consortia, it’s sort of like a new programme, and it’s constantly being evaluated. Can I just get some idea of how you expect that to lead to improvements, then? What work…

If I may, Chair, just a quick question, then: your predecessor highlighted the impact that inflation was having on school budgets. Of those figures that you've just read out then, what assessment has inflation played in reaching those figures?

Thank you, Chair. I just wanted to pick your brains, if I may, following on from the questions from Vaughan and from Buffy. You mentioned there about the additional £28 million you've made available for general capital funding. You've also then made £20…

Okay. Perfect. So, the final question I have, actually, is—. You mentioned there the report that the committee did in December, ‘Children on the margins’. One of the concerns that was raised there was about the single unified safeguarding review, and I think…

You mentioned that the solutions are there. Who should take charge, or the initiative on that? Is that something that the Welsh Government should try and get an active grasp on, or maybe you, or the local authorities, maybe?

Thank you, Chair, and thanks ever so much for coming in this afternoon. Yes, I just checked, just to make sure. I've only really got two questions, if that's okay. I note in your report, and funnily enough it's something that came up in the previous evidence…

Thank you, Chair. I don’t know who might be best to answer this, and I know Natasha raised some good questions there about Flying Start, and it got me thinking. So, with the initiatives like Flying Start, Families First and Nest, what is being done to make…

Thank you. Chair, if there's time, I've only got two final questions. You mentioned in answer to one of my previous questions the £820 million ring-fenced for mental health; what percentage of that is for CAMHS? Can you give an idea on that? And my final…

I speak quite quietly. And this is on a loop, so when I speak I hear my voice, and I don't really like the way I sound. I'll try and speak a bit louder, then. That question I asked there about the £2.2 million, you heard that okay, though?

You mentioned eating disorders; what impact do you think the £2.2 million will have that's been allocated to the NHS executive's strategic programme for mental health? What sort of impact will that specifically have on tackling issues such as eating disorders?

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2025-26 - sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
I know from the budget that £820 million is being ring-fenced now for mental health services. What sort of metrics will you be using to track that progress, and in terms of reducing the waiting times and improving the service and expanding the access?
