Adolygiad o weithrediadau, prosesau ac ymchwiliadau Ombwdsmon Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Cymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Yes, because there's quite a lot of people who contacted lots of their elected Members, concerned because they have a perspective, they have a view that they feel ought to have been contributed to the outcomes of this, and I’m just trying to understand—very…

Thank you, Chris. Thanks for the clarity around all of that. That was helpful to clarify what we needed. Moving on, obviously, the review was very inclusive and interviewed all staff and key people within the organisation. How did you decide, then, that you’d…

Thank you. That was very reassuring, because I think that adds to the integrity and robustness of the independence, and so I'm pleased that's good and clear. The remit of the review did not include investigating the initial incident or the former code team…

Diolch, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Rwy'n derbyn bod bod yn arweinydd yn golygu gwneud penderfyniadau anodd, yn enwedig mewn perthynas â dyraniadau'r gyllideb. Mae'n amlwg fod angen gwella llawer o'n gwasanaethau cyhoeddus, a bod gofyn buddsoddi'n helaeth i…

Diolch, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Rwy'n mynd i symud ymlaen at faes arall sy'n haeddu rhywfaint o eglurhad yn fy marn i. Ddoe gofynnodd fy nghyd-Aelod, Sam Kurtz, gwestiwn yma am gyfreithlondeb gwario £16,000 ar ddigwyddiad Dydd Gŵyl Dewi yn Efrog Newydd, lle…

Diolch, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Rydym wedi clywed cyd-Aelodau ar y meinciau hynny yn dweud cymaint o weithiau fod tangyllido o £6 biliwn wedi bod, ac mae Jo Stevens wedi dweud yr un peth yn Siambr San Steffan, y dylem ryddhau biliynau, felly gallwch ddeall…

Just a last question from me, and I'm conscious of what we talked about earlier, about sensitivity around individual issues. But the accounts include a special payment of £21,000 made to a member of staff in resolution of an employment dispute. Can you…

Just a couple of more quick ones from me. Your financial statements outlined a credit loss of £143,000 in 2023-24, up from £77,000 the previous year. The accounts note this relates to a provision for bad debt over 12 months old. So, why has the figure almost…

Thank you for that. A supplementary to that, then: you've underspent capital in 2023-24 by almost 20 per cent on a cash budget of £310,000. Are you happy with that level of variance, and, given that this isn't the first time that you've underspent on capital…

So, clearly, you're short on staff, or are you running at an optimum? What would your optimum be? It looks like you could generate enough income if you invested in staff, so you could keep going on with that equation, but what's your optimum to say that you…
