Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 2:31 pm on 4 October 2016.
The Member is absolutely right: this is about users—i.e. the people of Wales whom we serve and the institutions must serve as well. It’s also about the people who are employed in the institutions. The greatest anxiety that can be caused is job insecurity, and what this aims to do is ensure the long-term sustainability of those institutions, so that those jobs that are there at the moment aren’t just guaranteed, but that there are opportunities for many more people to enter what is a sector that can attract people right across the age range, from all demographics. I’m pleased that we’ve taken the work so far. I hope that the steering group will embrace this agenda and deliver a very creative and a very bold solution to what is a problem that I think everybody in this Chamber has recognised—that there must be greater collaboration and integration of what they do.
