Our first post asks whether Wales can still afford legacy ways of working — from siloed teams and duplicated effort to slow delivery and expensive workarounds. Read the first post here: transform.wales/blog/2026/we...

Today is the first of a new 5-part blog series about better government for Wales — and how to deliver change that lasts. Too often, conversations about public services focus only on what government should deliver. But far less attention is paid to how change happens in practice.

Today is the first of a new 5-part blog series about better government for Wales — and how to deliver change that lasts. Too often, conversations about public services focus only on what government should deliver. But far less attention is paid to how change happens in practice.

Heddiw yw’r gyntaf mewn cyfres flog newydd 5 rhan am lywodraeth well i Gymru — a sut i gyflawni newid sy’n para. Yn rhy aml, mae sgyrsiau am wasanaethau cyhoeddus yn canolbwyntio ar beth ddylai llywodraeth ei ddarparu. Ond mae llawer llai o sylw’n cael ei roi i sut mae newid yn digwydd yn ymarferol

Heddiw, mae Cymru’n pleidleisio. Beth bynnag eich gwleidyddiaeth, ewch allan i bleidleisio yn etholiad y Senedd heddiw. Bydd y penderfyniadau sy’n cael eu gwneud dros y 5 mlynedd nesaf yn siapio ein GIG, ein cynghorau, ein heconomi a’n gwasanaethau cyhoeddus am genhedlaeth.

Today, Wales votes. Whatever your politics, please take the time to vote in the Senedd election. The decisions made over the next 5 years will shape our NHS, councils, economy, infrastructure and public services for a generation.

Here are 3 ways the current system screws Wales. If politicians are not talking about these issues, they are not serious about fixing Wales' problems. The challenges Wales faces are not because of immigrants, they are because the system of funding we have is set up so that we can’t fail to fail.

With less than a week to go before the crucial Senedd elections, we've reviewed all the major party manifestos - have a look at how they stack up.... @willhaycardiff.bsky.social

🧵With the Senedd election just over a week away, we’ve been digging through the manifestos. We’ve put them to the test against the recommendations in our report, "Transforming Public Services for a Modern Wales" — our manual for a 21st-century state.

🧵 Gyda llai nag wythnos a hanner tan etholiad y Senedd, rydym wedi bod yn darllen y maniffestos a’u profi yn erbyn argymhellion ein hadroddiad, Trawsnewid gwasanaethau cyhoeddus ar gyfer Cymru fodern — ein canllaw ar gyfer gwladwriaeth yr 21ain ganrif.

Missions, not projects. 🚀 Last week we talked about the "output trap" - the focus on delivering things but struggling to move the needle on things that impact people's lives. Outcomes like healthy life expectancy, and a growing economy. (1/3)

Rhun ap Iorwerth on BBC Radio Wales today: "It’s all about outcomes, not outputs." 🎯 It’s a simple shift, but it’s exactly what’s missing from our public services. We’re world-class at staying busy - launching portals and ticking boxes - while the experience on the street stays the same. (1/2)

Cenhadaethau, nid prosiectau. 🚀 Wythnos diwethaf buom yn trafod y “trap allbynnau” – y ffocws ar gyflawni pethau, ond yr anhawster i symud y nodwydd ar y pethau sy’n gwneud gwahaniaeth i fywydau pobl. Canlyniadau fel disgwyliad oes iach, ac economi sy’n tyfu. (1/5)

Gweithgaredd yw apwyntiad. Y canlyniad yw bywyd iachach. Os ydym o ddifrif am hinsawdd neu iechyd, rhaid inni roi’r gorau i gyfrif gwariant a dechrau mesur effaith wirioneddol. Pam mae'r "model prosiect" wedi torri: transform.wales/cy/blog/2026... #Cymru #SectorCyhoeddus #Arloesi (2/2)

Joining NHS Wales last year, I found it baffling having to do days of mandatory training on things unrelated to my role in digital: - how to sort clinical waste - how to evacuate patients from hospital in a fire And Welsh language awareness training as a Welsh speaker. 🥲

If you could break or change any rule to provide better public services in Wales, what would it be?

Having to send out letters for hospital appointments even when you are standing there in front of them in reception making the appointment and adding it to your calendar in real time. (This isn’t universal, I know) And then getting two identical letters in the post - but that’s another story!

The first chapter on "a better government" is v. interesting... "people centred", "open and transparent", "measurable outcomes", "test and learn" Political parties don't often focus on ways of working/culture in government.
