Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:17 pm on 6 December 2016.
Can I thank the Member, my colleague, for that question? This is one issue amongst many that we’re considering as a Government in terms of how we allocate new moneys. In terms of the community facilities programme, there has not been an evaluation yet—it’s still quite early in the life of the programme—but monitoring visits carried out to completed projects indicate that the facilities are well used and sustainable into the future. There are difficult choices as to what we do with future finances, and I think it’s probably fair to say that only the very best applications can expect to attract CFP funding in the future and we will see what can be made available during the course of discussions that we have in terms of dealing with any extra resources we get from the UK Government.
