prince: I think i'll take this..
sword makers: Sure are some mighty fine swords in here my prince.
prince: Yes these will all be mine someday.
sword makers: That is very true, is there something you would like me to make for you my highness?
prince: I want a crown...for when i am King.
sword makers: Certainly just pick out the metal and jewels from what lays nearby and I will fashion it for you.
prince: Could you perhaps, put this on the sword?
sword makers: Would you like it fastened to the hilt sire?
prince: Yes that sounds good. Do you think people will like it?
sword makers: I think that would be the best way to make a statement with it, putting it on the pommel would make it hard to hold.
prince: What about this? Could you use this?
sword makers: That I am unsure of, I am not too familiar with things of the magical variety. We might consult a mage as to its uses.
prince: I am sure, now can you put this on the sword?

guard: I am here just to keep an eye on this coming execution, I worry not for rats.
rat: What did the guy do to get this execution?
guard: He evaded the kings taxes.
rat: That's terrible. I guess he's got whats coming to him. I don't understand people who commit crimes when they're just going to get caught.
guard: Desperation I would imagine, it never works out well.
rat: Do you ever feel any bit uneasy witnessing executions?
guard: One becomes hardened to it with time, I have seen a number of deaths both here and in battle.
rat: Is life ever "normal" again though? Is life always depressing now for you? I would always be suspicious of people.
guard: Depressing? I would not say so, you simply become used to such things.
rat: You're a tough human then. I consider myself a tough rat as well. Life isn't all that glamorous scavenging for scraps everyday.

sons: I suppose. Hey - I heard a rumor today.
daughter: Oh, gossip! Do tell.
sons: So someone told me that there were people plotting to overthrow our father. Do you think it could be true?
daughter: Seems an odd backwater for someone to want to be in charge of. Who would do such a thing?
sons: Supposedly it's our uncle. They said with our father out of the way he would become the new king. You don't think it's true, do you? Uncle has always seemed so nice.
daughter: Hrmph. Well, if these balls have taught me anything, it's that it's best to watch your back. It's often people that you don't suspect that can be the most tricky. I know that my maid has a cousin who serves in Uncle's household. Perhaps I should see what she knows...
sons: Yes, would you? I'm concerned.

Lynne Neagle AM: thank you If we can just move on now to inpatient care and if I can just ask you what the programme has been doing to address some of the challenges and opportunities we face in terms of CAMHS inpatient care particularly in light of the restrictions that are in place in Abergele and Tŷ Llidiard
Carol Shillabeer: Yes thank you very much for that question Again quite a lot of progress has been made in the early part of the programme around inpatients and you are very well aware of the challenges over the last year or 18 months in relation to both units I think certainly there is some recovery in the position in north Wales and the programme did a peer review visit to north Wales which I think was very helpful In terms of where the programme has been on this issue there is some work under way at quite an advanced stage around the art of the possible around enhancing the scope of the services This was quite a tricky thing to start off when you are in a position where actually thereve been some restrictions to then ask the service to think about going even further but we really wanted to see what the art of the possible would be if we could attract the right workforce get the right environment et cetera et cetera—so that piece of work the review of the specification about what could be possible Clearly we work very closely with Welsh Health Specialised Services Committee as the commissioner so we do not commission that We neither performance manage those environments But if I can just say probably the most important part of moving forward now is the longer term work between health and social care in terms of having a much more integrated and joined up approach for children We believe there would probably be about 100 children who have experienced care in multiple settings We have not got that mature approach in terms of these being joinedup teams we have got social care and we have got healthcare There is a growing appetite to do something different There is a meeting with the childrens commissioner on 9 July to explore that I have previously had conversations with the chief inspector of Care Inspectorate Wales for example and we have now got I think a consensus growing that we need to do something very different for children and young people who are in this sort of need for the future We also know that thereve been some highprofile legal cases as well So we have got to move to that step now It has been largely successful the work that has taken place over recent years but not without its key challenges
Lynne Neagle AM: Thank you And just briefly on the new specification that WHSSC are developing that will enable admissions at weekends and out of hours How concerned should we be about that being a challenge particularly in Abergele where staffing has been a major issue ?
Carol Shillabeer: Yes I think we need to be very mindful of ensuring that the right workforce are in place before that gets implemented The peer review highlighted the challenge of the physical environment where the unit is the challenge across north Wales of the workforce These are issues well known by the health board by the way so it was not a surprise to them But that dialogue about how do we ensure that we have got the right workforce because that unit potentially could—you know it is an isolated unit and they have been riskmanaging They have been managing the types of young people that they can take bearing in mind the workforce that they have got available and that is been entirely the right thing to do But the downside of that is it is not as accessible as we would want
Lynne Neagle AM: thank you Hefin David has got some questions on workforce now
Hefin David AM: Yes With regard to the increased CAMHS posts that have been made available between 2016 and 2018—a 62 per cent increase in CAMHS posts—we know that there is likely to be labour market demand high labour market demand in those instances so are the vacancy rates higher in Wales than elsewhere given the increase in those posts to be filled ?
Carol Shillabeer: So you are absolutely right There is been quite a lot of investment and there have been quite a lot of new recruits coming to the service We had in the early days a situation where we were largely robbing Peter to pay Paul to be quite frank So as new services were being developed people would move from one part of the system to the other So in the early days there was little net gain That has improved slightly but we are in a national context particularly around nursing and around some specialties in medicine of a national shortage so this is not a quick fix We are starting to see a greater diversity of workforce So if I can mention psychology assistants for example my own health board is employing more psychology assistants as part of a skill mix team rather than going to where we might have been more traditionally based We see some of that through the NHS benchmarking particularly with England They have more of that We are perhaps a little bit— They have more skill mix in their workforce We are catching up a bit more on that now
Hefin David AM: Just to clarify there what you are referring to—there are more nursing and medical staff in the Wales system and more psychological staff experts in the UK picture Is that— ?
Carol Shillabeer: In the England picture So England had a programme called IAPT which is about psychological therapies and had therefore looked at the skill mix Some of that was— We have chatted to colleagues in England trying to learn—we are all trying to make improvements in this area of course it is a UK and international issue—what were their experiences of this psychological therapies approach Because of their vacancies they had to skill mix and because of the money that they had available—they did not have as much of a cash injection as perhaps we have been able to secure So they skill mixed much earlier we are skill mixing now We are using different types of roles for example And if I can just make a plea really around recognising the input of the third sector—so it does not always have to be an NHSemployed person to work in service provision direct frontline service provision and the third sector are offering a significant contribution in a number of areas of our services And that is one that we will need to cultivate because to be quite frank our recruitment challenges will not be solved overnight We have recognised that the commissioning numbers for nursing and other professionals have gone up over recent times but with the training time it is not a quick fix
Hefin David AM: Does the workforce profile remain different or are they starting to— ?
Carol Shillabeer: They are starting to come together There is a—graph 13 in terms of the CAMHS profile Each year we do the NHS benchmarking and we can see where we are compared to others and I would expect over the next year or two that we see a bit more narrowing
Hefin David AM: So if you compare a child in Wales with a child in England in the last two years who is been through this would they have had a different experience as a result and different clinical advice as a result or is there consistency despite the difference in workforce profile ?
Carol Shillabeer: That is quite a big question Hand on heart could I tell you I absolutely know the detail of that ? No I could not The practice in this area is guided by National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidance so it is pretty much guided We would expect all of our practitioners to be able to work to NICE guidance When you skill mix a team you enable the right referrals to go to the right person so you would not necessarily have a child or young person with particularly complex needs—well you would match them to the right practitioner for their needs So it does— And we have seen some of that if I just make reference to the panel approach in Gwent that is been developed a multiagency panel come together a referral comes in it is then about matching the right service and the right person to the needs that are being presented So we can be much more flexible in relation to that and we have to be careful to use the right resource for the right person because if we have got a resource that is highly specialist we want them to be dealing with those children and young people
Hefin David AM: And one of the things you are able to do—because there is a lot about the labour market you can not control but one of the things you can control is workforce development and ongoing workforce development You have mentioned communities of practice What other things are being done in addition and how do the communities of practice work might be a good question but what else is being done in order to upskill and develop and grow the existing workforce that is presented to you ?
Carol Shillabeer: Thank you for that So there is a couple of things around— I think there is a huge focus on staff retention now not just in Wales but across the UK So we have got recruitment but we have got retention What are the factors that affect retention ? Actually wellbeing wellbeing at work—and you will know that within A Healthier Wales the focus on staff engagement staff wellbeing has been laid out—the ability to work well in teams and the culture of organisations and services and then as you rightly say training and development and career opportunities So the developments over the last few years have brought training opportunities and career development opportunities as well I think the community of practice—it is something that has become a bit of a standard now across these areas—actually brings people together doing collective audit doing collective reflection on service improvement and being very clear about learning from one another And if you are a clinician that gives you a lot of motivation to keep driving forward So I think we have the fundamental building blocks in place but there is more to do around the environment in which our practitioners and our staff operate
Hefin David AM: What about the Welsh language in the health board ?
Carol Shillabeer: Thank you very much There are two elements if I may just on that In your report of last year you highlighted the need to do further work on the use of the Welsh language and have we got enough Welsh language practitioners where we need them We are doing that piece of work I am pleased to say that over the last few years I think all health boards have really stepped up in terms of being able to understand the levels of Welsh speaking amongst employed staff and where their Welshspeaking communities are We are particularly looking at it in terms of inpatient CAMHS and community intensive services because particularly when people are feeling at their most vulnerable they would choose the language they wish to choose So we know we need to respond to that So we will be in a position to by the end of this programme provide that position statement on what happens next I would also say of course we have got the Welsh language standards that we are all working on at the moment and we have got a very clear programme of when we have to be compliant with those standards So that element is very high on the priority list | Carol Shillabeer answered Lynne Neagle's question by introducing the progress of the in-patient care programme and the challenge of the workforce. Carol personally recommended employing more psychology assistants as part of a skill mix team and indicated communities of practice to make the best use of the resource. Finally, as for the language, there was an agreement on the use of the Welsh language and the need for enough Welsh language practitioners to respond to vulnerable people. |

Marketing: Kay Ability to stop remotes from being lost or to find them once they are lost
User Interface: Three I think we can do three
Marketing: Three if we are being generous I feel
User Interface: Th the special colour does not would I think make a difference
Marketing: Think we are being generous here with three
User Interface: It makes it stand out from you know it is lost in a big pile of crap it stands out from the rest of the crap
Marketing: Reduce the number of unused buttons We are down to t two buttons is it ?
User Interface: Two buttons and a joystick
Marketing: so that is a one You know
Project Manager: I would say we are doing well there
Marketing: that was good Easy to use interface buttons menu menus that is that is good Kay that is we are not doing so badly easy to use oh let us forget that one Fancy looking
User Interface: It does not get much fancier
Marketing: Sure And we could do whatever we like with the L LCD let us just assume it is a good LCD display Maybe I was panicking for no reason
Industrial Designer: Are we going one on ? I would say we go two because like f the fanciest would be the double curved
Marketing: w maybe you would be a bit too
Industrial Designer: With the articulators With bells on it
Marketing: that is m that is that is better too More accurate numbers Technologically innovative Well we are getting rid of the locator thing
User Interface: Mm I would give it a three for this for that I mean the menus thing is something you do not normally see on on a remote but you see it in a lot of other places
Marketing: And y what you are doing is moving the menu from the television to the remote control so it is You say three ? I might go as far as two on that Three
User Interface: I would give it a three
Project Manager: I would be tempted with three We will get panned on the next one anyway
Marketing: Materials that people find pleasing Sponginess is what they really would have wanted apparently
Project Manager: It is Do not blame them because of the way that we have minimalised the number of buttons and such Plastic it sucks But it is no worse than any of the other pl remote controls we have
Marketing: That is true It is not a step backwards
User Interface: Mmhmm I would s I I would give it a six to be honest
Marketing: let us give it a six that is totally thrown everything off balance Inspired by the latest interior and clothing fashion W we could What colour were we going to make it ?
Industrial Designer: Put a leopard print on it
User Interface: Well I I I would sa I would say give a s give a selection of colours we went with yellow we went with yellow for the prototype because we had yellow If I were buying one I would go for purple Leopard print would be cool
Marketing: But by this I think it is more a case of fruit and veg
Industrial Designer: we got to I would say the colour of the border there world you would find that that is that would stand out
Project Manager: Like yellow It would also help keep the the product placement s Is it inspired by clothing fashion ?
Marketing: But Th th they are referring to the fruit and veg thing Is this like a banana type colour ? Could we stretch no still it is not shaped like a banana is
User Interface: That is kind of i
Project Manager: It is kind o it
User Interface: it will not be when it is been
Marketing: Oh is that because it is flat ? What is what fruit or veg is flat ?
User Interface: I I think s I I think this is not not particularly fruit and veggie
Marketing: Or we might have to suffer badly for this one as well
Project Manager: I mean it is probably more fruit and veg than most other things out there bar fruit and veg so what four ?
Marketing: Four ? Oh that is it is very ambitious
Project Manager: Is that being too generous ?
User Interface: Mm I would I would I do not think fruit and veg is the sole criterion Is the sole criterion for being fashion fashionable or inspired by current fashions I would g I would rate I would rate this fairly highly from that point of view actually
Industrial Designer: Well this this what we are going to t this is their motto like And we are we are not doing well on it
Marketing: This is their strategy I m imagine we actually had some money invested in this and the amount that we invest is going to be proportional to the marks Might we might want to be a bit more skepible sceptical about this one
Project Manager: What would you think yourself ?
Marketing: I would say I mean it is it is not at all right ? In any way or shape or form
Project Manager: Well it is kind of curved and we can make it yellow and that is pretty much banana like
Marketing: the the yellow banana like thing is I think is
Project Manager: Si it is got a curve to it
Marketing: Right five Is that sound reasonable ?
Project Manager: Am I do you think I am stretching the the use of the banana ?
Industrial Designer: I will go with five
Marketing: Five Kay so we have one two three four five six seven So five seven ten sixteen twenty one Which gives us an average of three It is well this would be in the middle So we it is it is not bad It is in the good section
Project Manager: It is not bad and considering the do not pick the pen
Marketing: Oops Sorry I am I am sorry
Project Manager: Y oh and you have knocked batteries out
Industrial Designer: S bad design that thing
Project Manager: considering the price we had to get this in to have a positive you know even based on the four of us being heavily biased it was going to be quite hard to get anything standing out I would say possibly based on the the cost features
Marketing: Even if we were to increase this entire thing by by seven we were to go down a grade to to four we would have to do I mean we did not we were not that kind of optimistic too optim overly optimistic You know like we did not we did not add we did not subtract a whole seven points from these things so I think we are definitely on the good bit Even if we gave this one seven and this one seven that is still only three extra points over seven You know it is
User Interface: Mm Personally I think given that the product only replaces a single remote control
Marketing: we did it w it was It was good
User Interface: that you have already got are people really going to she will out twenty five Euros for something that is only marginally good ?
Industrial Designer: Well it depends who your who is what the target people are like you would say maybe the fashion conscious
Project Manager: Maybe it is been targeted
Industrial Designer: women would be going oh look at that s cool it looks like a it is yellow looks like a banana it is cool it is got to look good in the sitting room
Project Manager: Hide it in the fruit basket
Industrial Designer: Rather than the LCD whereas more technical like like more people in with the latest technology it is good it is got an LCD screen s only got two buttons and a joystick So which which kind of people would be more likely to buy it ?
Project Manager: Probably the people technologically They are usually the ones that buy pointless stuff
Marketing: I mean my mum still has not learnt how to use text messaging on her phone and she is had it for a long time you know She uses it to make phone calls and that is it So I think if sh if my mum saw a remote control like this with only two buttons and a joystick I mean that will probably be the first one she decides not to buy you know She would be like is this a remote control I do not how do you use it and stuff like that So even if it is really user friendly to us but we are used to using menus all the time
User Interface: Mmhmm I s I suppose one thing is that b because it is technically innovative for someone who is sort of technophobic the fact that it simply looks unfamiliar would be daunting
Marketing: I think it is totally radical to have a remote control with no no numbered buttons But like radical good maybe | In the product evaluation, the team was satisfied with its success in reducing the number of unused buttons. The user interface was considered to be user-friendly enough. However, the team also admitted that there was still room for improvement on the location function, technological innovation, the material, as well as the fashion style of the remote control. |

guard: I've been here for many years. You must have been a chef for a long time since your soup is so delicious.
chef: Far more years than I would like to admit. Say, what brings you here to this graveyard?
guard: I must guard the King.
chef: Oh- so you are guarding his body? Or is he visiting this cemetery?
guard: The King will be coming here soon and making sure it is safe for him to come.
chef: Ah! I am out here gathering flowers for the dinner table.
guard: This is a perfect place to gather flowers. There is such a variety of beautiful flowers here.

person: Oh, that's very interesting. How long have you been doing these things for the priest and the church?
peasant: Our current priest has been with us for fourteen years. He's a good man, and has brought a lot of healing to our people. I've been living here for over thirty years... helping out at the Church since I could stand. It's the least I can do. The Church provides so much stability for me.
person: You must be a good soul. I am such a sinner. I must repent. Where is the priest or a cleric or someone who can hear my confession.
peasant: The priest should be in shortly. He likes to visit the elderly and the ill to help ease their pain. Like I said, he's a good and honest man. We're lucky to have him. I'm sure he will guide you and absolve you of your sings.
