Part of 2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children – in the Senedd at 2:41 pm on 1 February 2017.
I thank the Member for her question. Both Dawn and Lynne and many other Members on the benches beside me have made many references to the future of communities and what that looks like, and rightly so, recognising the strengths within their own communities.
Children’s zones are about integration of services and bringing services together. What I can’t commit to is an open cheque book, because the finances are challenged, but I do recognise that intervention, prevention and well-being plans are critical to making sure that we understand how areas work in the future and making sure that, where we can make those clever interventions, we do. I recognise some of the areas that the Member has raised here today.
