Ombwdsmon Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Cymru—Craffu ar Adroddiad Blynyddol a Chyfrifon 2021-22, a’r Amcangyfrif ar gyfer 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
I suppose I can link back to something that I said right at the beginning about trying to recognise if the case load and increase is more of a short- to medium-term problem, and that the estimate is needing to gear up for that. But what happens after that…

Thanks for that. I took it that you'd probably done all of that in the same engagement. So, if we move on to the harder figures now, obviously, your estimate is requesting £584,000. That's around about an 11 per cent increase compared to last year. In the…

Thanks, Michelle. It's great to understand some of your thinking. I'm going to move on now and start exploring the estimate, if I may. Obviously, you've talked about consultation, and engagement is really important to you. So, I wonder if you can talk us…

That brings back memories of my father when he was doing national service, and his job was to try and break through the defences of bases. It’s just the same physical version of the new problem we’ve got with cyber security. Anyway, I digress. Michelle, I…

Thank you, Chair. I just wanted to understand a little bit more about that. I can understand why the numbers would perhaps be rising, certainly in the health sector at the moment, because it will mirror, in some ways, some of our inboxes. I just really wanted…

Diolch Llywydd. Roeddwn i'n siarad am wasanaethau cyhoeddus lleol. Er enghraifft, mae'n gyfnod arbennig o heriol i lywodraeth leol, fel y gwyddoch chi, gyda'r pwysau cynyddol ar wasanaethau sydd ganddyn nhw, ac mae'r galw i'w deimlo'n arbennig ym maes gofal…

This is going off, but do we do enough to help mums who are working as well? Childcare is something I've heard talked about. There isn't any creche or childcare facility here to help people through difficult enough times anyway. Is that something the…

Yes, I noticed it was a little bit higher this year. I just wondered, if it's been pretty constant, should we be saying that that estimate ought to be £0.5 million and that the budget was adjusted accordingly. Just provocation to—. It may be that, absolutely…

Thanks. You may have just covered a bit of this. On the additional staff costs that you've identified for Senedd reform in 2023-24, and additional posts are likely to be required for 2024-25, 2025-26, can you give an indication of the potential resource…

Okay. Thanks for that. You note the challenge in timescales regarding Senedd reform—we can absolutely see that. Can you describe the expected timing of the passage of the associated legislation and when you need to recruit staff to resource the change?

Craffu ar Gyllideb Ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth

Okay. Thanks for that. How will you differentiate estimates of accommodation costs that relate to Senedd reform with savings from changes to ways of working and ongoing costs? It's a bit of a dilemma, I suppose, to work it out.

On the same theme of accommodation, I just wanted to just touch on Colwyn Bay, just to get a flavour of what the costs of maintaining the office are, and if you've got some early thinking about what alternatives you may have to having a physical presence in…
