That would be very helpful. Thanks. The report also proposed the establishment of a unified body for scrutinising all emergency services. What do you think are the potential barriers, and, equally, what are the benefits of doing this?

Diolch, Chair. To what extent have the fire services and the Welsh ambulance services trust implemented the recommendations that go back to 2014, I think it is, for clear strategic and operational co-ordination plans, which, of course, was advised by the…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
Minister, surely there's a direct link between the health of high streets and the financial health of households across the United Kingdom. So, would you agree that struggling high streets across the UK are struggling as a direct result of 14 years of…

No, that's fine. That's all from me, Chair. Thank you.

Thank you. Social partnership has already been mentioned by Councillor Bradwick. I was just wondering how effective the fire and rescue social partnership forum has been in ensuring that there are constructive conversations between fire and rescue services…

Yes. Thank you, Chair. I was wondering whether anyone's got any views on what the role of the Welsh Government could be in the future in terms of the governance of fire and rescue services. For example, should the role of the Government be enhanced, or are…

Might there be potential benefits in strengthening your role and, indeed, what would the barriers be?

Governance of Fire and Rescue Services: panel 5
That's interesting. Thank you. How would you respond to the Deputy Minister, who said that audit requirements should be strengthened? To what extent do you agree? Are there any areas where you think there should be specific elements that are strengthened?
, Equality and Social Justice Committee

Thank you, Chair. How satisfied are you that the audit requirements placed on fire and rescue services are actually sufficient?

Thank you. What are your positions on alternative options, including a greater role for police and crime commissioners, and greater co-operation between ambulance and fire services?

Governance of Fire and Rescue Services: panel 3
Thank you, Chair. We've already had a few questions answered, I think, regarding governance issues around fire and rescue authorities. I'm just going to probe a little further, though. The consultation by the Welsh Government in 2018 proposed that a statutory…

Thank you. Finally, does Unison have a position on alternative options that include, perhaps, a greater role for police and crime commissioners or a greater degree of co-operation between fire and ambulance services?

Could you outline any ideas in terms of how we might strengthen the governance role of the fire and rescue authorities?

Governance of Fire and Rescue Services: panel 2
Apologies. Regarding the consultation in 2018 by the Welsh Government, which proposed that a chief fire officer should have responsibility for the service and that the FRAs should fulfil a scrutiny and oversight role, do you agree that that would lead to…
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
Governance of Fire and Rescue Services: panel 2
Thank you, Chair. I'd like to ask some questions about the role of the fire and rescue authorities. Back in 2018, the Welsh Government consultation proposed that the responsibility for the service should vest in a statutory chief fire officer, with the FRAs…

Brilliant. Thanks, Matt. And, just out of interest, what's your position on having a greater role for police and crime commissioners, and also greater co-operation between fire and ambulance services?

Thank you, Chair. I'm going to ask some questions about the role of fire and rescue authorities, and first of all, in your response to the 2018 consultation, the FBU said it supports the establishment of a wider range of agreed national standards that FRAs…

Thank you, Chair. Just two quick questions. One is kind of a detailed question, a point of clarity on rules and how things are conducted, and then the second is just more general. So, first of all, how was it that Stuart Millington came to be temporarily…
