There can’t be a Member in this Chamber who doesn’t have substantial numbers of constituents touched in some way by the services supported by the Welsh Government’s Supporting People. In my own constituency, Gwalia, Coastal Housing, Neath Port Talbot Homes, Dewis Housing and many others provide vital services funded through Supporting People. I’ve met people who’ve been given back their independence because of Supporting People, and no decent people could meet someone in that position without appreciating the immense value of the work that it funds.

Supporting vulnerable or elderly people to live independent lives should be at the heart of what all of us want to achieve, whatever our political affiliation, in this Chamber. So, let me be clear: there is a not a monopoly of support for this programme on the opposition benches in this Chamber. It’s a Welsh Government programme and, indeed, while the nationalist Government in Scotland and the Conservative Government in Westminster have slashed support for their programmes, the Labour Party in Wales has consistently prioritised Supporting People.
