James Evans, the Conservative MS for Brecon and Radnorshire, has made a case for increased office work to enhance productivity among civil servants, emphasizing the need for real changes in governance. He pointed out the inefficiencies of working from home and urged a focus on performance-linked pay. Meanwhile, Welsh Conservative leader Darren Millar announced intentions to reduce ministers' salaries and freeze public sector pay. The party also discussed the financial implications of the Welsh winter fuel allowance, amid concerns raised about pensioners losing benefits due to changes in payment schemes.
"And I want to see civil servants back behind desks... to make sure that we can actually drive that efficiency," said Evans, who is the party's spokesman for health and social care.
Welsh Conservative Senedd leader Darren Millar has previously claimed it could cost £100m.
Most pensioners lost their allowance last year after the UK Labour government began means testing the payments.
We will also freeze the salaries of public sector fat cats working for the Welsh government... and we will get more Welsh government employees working in their offices, instead of on their sofas at home.
