Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:41 pm on 27 September 2016.
This will be examined, of course, when the budget is produced, and, as part of the promises we made to the people of Wales back in May, we intend to continue the situation where health inequalities close. What we’ve seen, of course, with the bedroom tax and with cuts in welfare benefits is that inequality has risen in Wales and we will do what we can to combat that. I’m grateful to him for mentioning my own party’s conference. If he wishes, of course, to play a greater role in that, then he can apply to join, though I can’t guarantee his application will be accepted.
