Thank you very much. And Mark, do you have a view on that, please?

Governance of Fire and Rescue Services: panel 3
Could I just go back, please, to ask more about the system that you mentioned, namely that I would think that the public wouldn't welcome more commissioners—that is, having somebody for the police and somebody for fire. Here in Wales, we have a system where…

Thank you very much. Just one other question, please, focusing on the Welsh Government's fire and rescue national framework. It's now nearly 10 years old. Can you just talk a little bit about the elements in that framework that have been successful, perhaps…

Thank you. Could I ask a follow-up question to Mark, please? You mentioned, Mark, that in your experience you've seen changes happening already—I don't know over how long. Can you just tell us a little bit more about that, please?

No, no—sorry. I was going to ask a follow-up, but I'll come to Tristan and then I'll ask a follow-up. Sorry—my fault.

Governance of Fire and Rescue Services: panel 3
Yes. Thank you very much, Chair. Can I just ask, in your view—both of you, please; I've asked this to everybody else—what is responsible for the situation in the fire and rescue service? Do you have any views at all on what needs to happen to change the…

Governance of Fire and Rescue Services: panel 2
Thank you very much. I just want to focus on one thing, please, and that is what happened with regard to the consultation in 2018. The Welsh Government carried out a consultation and your union was a part of that. In your opinion, was that successful? Was it…

Governance of Fire and Rescue Services: panel 2
Thank you very much for joining us today. To follow up on Joel's question there, I wanted to get your opinion. Do you accept, as someone who works for the union, that there's a horrendous situation here in the service? Do you accept that, as a union?

Thank you very much. Just one other question, about England. You've mentioned England. As we understand it, there was some sort of review in England as well. Are there lessons that could be learnt, to compare England with Wales and the service? Just briefly…

Thank you very much, and thank you to you both for coming here this morning. Could I just take a step back, if that’s okay? You’ve mentioned the workforce, and how important it is to listen to them to do something that’s more than a tick-box exercise. That’s…
