I’m grateful to the Member for the question and the non-partisan way that she raised it, too. I think many Members in this Chamber could be familiar with the examples the Member sets out. I think what we are very keen as a Government to do is ensure that our funding streams go to the maximum benefit of our larger communities, working with organisations such as the Wales Council for Voluntary Action and the 44 public sector bodies now under the WFG Act. That will be a new sign of the way that we develop policy for local communities and engagement and involvement is a key part of that—being able to demonstrate that to the future generations commissioner and the auditor general and to government is an important process for them.
