Thank you for the Member’s question. I prefer not to look in detail at NSA Afan because of the ongoing detailed discussions with South Wales Police and with my audit team. What I can tell the Member is that the decision to terminate funding from NSA Afan wasn’t taken lightly—it was taken following a thorough investigation into the financial governance arrangements with NSA Afan. Our investigation has commenced. The Welsh Government official leading the investigation team informed the Wales Audit Office of the case and has continued to update the Wales Audit Office as it’s been progressed.

There is a rigorous process in place to manage the funding that we provide to thousands of organisations every year. In this respect, the grants centre of excellence is now well established and works to ensure continuous improvements in the delivery of grant funding across all of Welsh Government. What we have to recognise is that this is a huge programme—£300 million-worth of investment in our communities. And of course, at some stages there will be people who will seek to take advantage of a system that they understand. We have to take that in our stride and understand how we can resolve those issues when they come about. I’m conscious of the Member’s interest in all of these activities and, as and when I can release more information about this particular case, I will do.
