Good, good. I know that Anthony wants to come in, and Sam wanted to. Actually, Sam, do you want to come in with a quick question and we'll have to then look at—? And Mike's been waiting patiently as well, but there we are.

Speaking from that experience there, that's good. How well does good practice move across from localised, very good practice in certain areas? How do you share that best practice across the local government family?

I suppose the next step on that, then, is if it's Barnettised and then if it's put through the revenue support grant formula rather than what's needed in different councils because of the different make-up and decisions being made on local government. So…

Have there been any conversations with the Welsh Government now to try and talk through what that NI increase impact is on those service providers beyond local government. I see Andrew, I think, nodding there. Does the Cabinet Secretary have an understanding…

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
Just on that, and thinking through some of the decisions especially around NI and the potential impact on third sector that support you and then provide services for you that are arm’s length, so aren’t guaranteed to get any funding settlement, could you…

From the planning point of view and understanding with national insurance and when those payments are coming and that sort of thing, any comments around that? Anthony.

Great. I'm going to move on if I may, and so, I'll go now to Rhianon Passmore to move to some of the next questions. Rhianon.

Andrew, do you want to comment on that?
15 Ionawr 2025 , Finance Committee
Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
Lis, briefly, and then we'll need to move on slightly.

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
It's good to have that comment, because it helps, not necessarily with the budget now, but especially with policy development and legislation. But I'll come to Nia now.

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
Before I come to Nia, just a point that I think Andrew Morgan made there, or it might have been yourself, Sam: one thing that this committee, when looking at regulatory impact assessments for Bills, sees is how much it's going to cost Government, but then not…

Cyllideb Ddrafft Llywodraeth Cymru 2025-26: Sesiwn tystiolaeth 5
