Part of 2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children – in the Senedd at 2:23 pm on 1 February 2017.
I’m conscious of the Member’s interest in this and also that of Dai Rees, the other Member that’s raised this on several occasions with me. I’m very cautious of the ongoing police investigation and also our governance review of this. It is slightly different to the Plas Madoc event. I’m damned if I do and I’m damned if I don’t. If I remove funding people criticise me for not removing it early enough, or not leaving it run for the organisations. What I am conscious about is that the indirect consequence of NSA not having funding—how can we make sure that services provided to the local community are continued as best they can. My team have started discussions, advance discussions, with Neath Port Talbot council about stepping into that space for delivery.
