	House of Commons - Welsh Affairs - Fourth Report
		Welsh Office witnesses agreed that the resource allocation process should allow the health service to manage emergency admissions without requiring additional funds.[9] As the Secretary of State said, "we need to have good planning and long-term management which deals with the ups and downs rather than...
		The Welsh Office plans in future to introduce unified budgets for health authorities, so that drugs expenditure will be included within health authorities' cash limited allocations.[14] This would seem a sensible change, so long as the allocations are realistic.
		Welsh Office witnesses acknowledged the existence of health inequalities, though they distinguished between inequalities in health and inequalities in access to services.[17] We note that the Welsh Office has not adopted the Health Action Zone approach, as in England, on the ground the Welsh model is based on much smaller communities.

	History and Status of the Welsh Language
		Welsh is one of the Celtic languages still spoken, perhaps that with the greatest number of speakers.
		The office of the Secretary of State continues to be the mechanism for carrying primary legislation relevant to Wales through parliament in Westmister, which retains those powers of primary legislation.
		It led the campaign for the first Welsh Language Act and is held to be responsible for many of the symbols which have made the existence of the Welsh language more a natural part of public life in the last half of the twentieth century.

	The Welsh Language: A Cultural Revival
		Welsh is a language in the Celtic family, and it's no surprise if you haven't heard much about it.
		Today's spoken Welsh (Cymraeg) is a descendent of Early Welsh, which appeared very early on indeed; probably in the 6th century A.D. However, the roots of Early Welsh can be traced to the Celtic branch of the Indo-European languages.
		A 1995 survey published by the Welsh Office showed that 21.5% of Wales' population speak Welsh, and 55.3% of those consider Welsh to be their first language.

		The white-over-green field is in the livery colours of the Tudors, the Welsh dynasty that once sat on the English throne.

		This allowed the Welsh Office to tender implementation of the Intranet and establish the necessary information and communications medium within the available timescales.

		The aim is for this office to have at least 2 bilingual staff in place as soon as possible, who will be able to handle demand from customers for services in the Welsh language.

		However, where it is not possible to recruit a Welsh speaker, we will encourage staff recruited to posts in our Welsh office to learn Welsh, and where we do not have staff with the relevant technical competencies we will continue to use a translation service.

	Dave Welsh's WebLog : Office Open XML Format and other standards stuff
		Anyway I'm glad to see the new 'Office 12' XML news finally came out BUT what this all keeps reminding me about is the general topic of 'open standards' and what different platform vendors (Microsoft, IBM, Sun, HP,...) and independent solution vendors (SAP,...) do to leverage standards.
		Starting off with no one should ever immediately jump to the conclusion that any standard has everything in it by design, to fully make a complete professional product in the commerical market space; rather a lot of standards these days are designed for 'interop' and not 'product features'.
		This whole Office 12 announcement probably best can be seen as following on the New World of Work (NWOW) vision laid out by Bill G at the CEO Summit a couple of weeks ago here in Redmond.
