Archwilio Cymru – Gwaith craffu ar Adroddiad Blynyddol a Chyfrifon 2023-24 a Chynllun Blynyddol 2024-25: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you, and I'd be really surprised if you had all indicators green. I would say, 'Well, actually, there's something wrong there', you know, because you should always be striving for further improvement. Anyway, that's not my point. I was just going to…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2025-26: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Is there a figure of spend that we've had to invest around this?

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2025-26: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thanks for touching on the well-being, because I was going to ask what your main findings were so far in your interim review. But I'll move on to the last question, really, one that is quite pertinent at the moment, a topic that is taxing a lot of us at the…

I was going to be asking you some questions around staffing, but I think we've covered an awful lot of those, so I'll skip some of that, unless there's anything—. There are no areas of staffing that you've had to disinvest in, so that you can do something…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2025-26: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
May I just put on record that we really welcome what briefings we've already had, which have been really helpful, so we're not cold to this.

No, I accept that. They carried forward—the benefit is from not having them, if you like. The efficiency will carry forward into next year.

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2025-26: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
So, just to—. So, you've still got 12 vacancies currently, because you were looking for 16, you've only recruited four, so there are 12 vacancies in the Commission at the moment.

I think that's all—

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2025-26: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
I think it’s always acceptable to have new burdens, and they have to be funded accordingly. That doesn’t mean to say that the lens of efficiency can’t be continued, even through expansion.

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2025-26: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
It’s quite interesting this, isn’t it, because I’ve made the case, from your position, as a council leader, to my colleagues every time, because we used to have to. Every year, I made the case, for years, and I’d try to convince members that we needed to do…

Sorry, Rhianon.
3 Hydref 2024Finance Committee
Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2025-26: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Okay.
3 Hydref 2024Finance Committee
Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2025-26: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Right, okay.

I was surprised that that would be coded under 'Members' salaries and accommodation costs' not more infrastructural maintenance.

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2025-26: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Right, okay. So, I was just trying to work through what those additional—. Because it comes under Member salaries and related costs, £1.3 million; so, it must be around accommodation, and things like that, for Members—ongoing accommodation changes and needs…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2025-26: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
No, it's just on infrastructure. Just looking through the high-level budget stuff, it says that Member salaries and related costs have increased by £1.3 million, but there's no increase in actual salary costs for Members. It says in our budget group brief…

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2025-26: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thanks for that. Thank you.
3 Hydref 2024Finance Committee
Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2025-26: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Yes. So, what does a 5 per cent staff pay budget increase actually mean in cash increase?
3 Hydref 2024Finance Committee
Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2025-26: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
That was for last year, right, yes.
3 Hydref 2024Finance Committee
Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2025-26: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
And that's obviously new staff and pay deals, and the pay deal is £456,000.

Nine per cent of the 11 per cent total operational cost is staff related.
3 Hydref 2024Finance Committee
Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2025-26: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
So, you've got staff-related increases of 9 per cent. When we talk of that, do we say, 'Well, 9 per cent of that 11 per cent is staffing', or what is it in money terms?
3 Hydref 2024Finance Committee
Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2025-26: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you for that. I think I've got it. So, the operational budget we know is going up by 11 per cent. We recognise the pay deal, which is 5 per cent over what you were budgeting for—3 per cent.
