My contribution is going to be more technical in nature, I think. Firstly, First Minister, can I thank you for bringing this annual report forward, the first of this Senedd? An annual report is something we should look forward to. It gives an opportunity to praise success, but it also should give an opportunity to demonstrate where things are wrong. It should demonstrate self-awareness of the Government to know where things are in the scale of things.

Ten well-being objectives are welcome. I was looking forward to reading through the report, and I was looking forward to getting to the evaluation that I am so used to as a past council leader, having to prepare for regulators, for audiences who might be inspecting my annual plans that I presented. But, I was disappointed to find that there was no way of evaluating the story that we're told. Whilst there are many good things in the report, I'm sure there are many areas where the people need to understand a little more about what has gone wrong, what is needed to put things right, and how those things would be measured. Performance management is key in any organisation, and we shouldn't take it as just read when presented with an annual report. We should be able to scrutinise that as a Senedd and challenge, and understand what needs to happen to make things better. 

I'm used to looking at RAG tables—I'm sure many of you know those; red, amber, green tables that accompany reports. Llywydd, how does the Senedd truly evaluate these sorts of reports, or how will it moving forward? I know I'm probably being naive in expecting such things, but I think it's good practice that we should be able to look at how things are progressing, and how does the Government itself evaluate progress against its objectives. Are there targets? What targets are aligned to these 10 well-being goals, and how do we evaluate those? Without robust challenge of data, surely the Government is at risk of believing positions that may not always be correct. For example, when you read objective 1, 

'Provide effective, high quality and sustainable healthcare', you could be lulled into a sense that things are not too bad—that things may be amber, erring on green. However, as Andrew R.T. Davies pointed out this morning and again today robustly, and many others report this every day to us—. Indeed, I sat in a meeting last night where we heard of terrible performance in our health board. So, the real position is that, on a RAG rating, this would be a red—a significant red—and I'd be held to account if it was my organisation by the Minister for local government at that time, and have been challenged many times in the past. 

There are many areas that deserve recognition, but I appeal to you, First Minister, that in future annual reports we have the full picture, the opportunity to challenge robustly the direction of this Government, and how things are being achieved, because at the moment, I feel at a loss. I have to take it as read that this is what we're doing. How do I know how we're going to do better? Thank you, Llywydd.
