First of all, I would like to thank the Cabinet Secretary for his statement and also thank the Chair of the Finance Committee for sharing his committee’s comments on the second supplementary budget for this current financial year.

Generally speaking, I would endorse the main recommendations made by the committee, outlined by my colleague Simon Thomas, and specifically emphasise the need to tackle the lack of information and transparency, which is becoming a regular theme as we have these debates.

We are grateful, of course, to the Cabinet Secretary for the explanatory notes that he provided with the supplementary budget—some 50 pages. But surely there is still room for improvement. The lack of transparency, as we have heard, is very clear, for example, in issues related to the health budget. The committee has drawn attention to this in the past, and particularly to how the budget is divided between primary, secondary, and social care, and so on. There's a transfer, for example, in this supplementary budget of over £15 million from the support mental health policies and legislation action to that huge beast of an action that is the core expenditure on the national health service, which is a sum of over £6.2 billion. Now, the general concern is that this funding will be actually swallowed up by that core expenditure and be very difficult to monitor in future. Therefore, I would urge the Cabinet Secretary once again to provide greater transparency in future in terms of these allocations generally and certainly within the health budget.

There is mention in the supplementary budget of additional allocations from the invest-to-save fund, with reference to savings of £3.4 million for NRW, £0.5 million for numeracy and literacy, for example, as well as repayments into the fund—that is, the invest-to-save fund; that’s what we’re talking about here. Now, once again, there aren’t many details available as to the sums borrowed and repaid, or about the timetabling of those repayments under this programme.

If we are going to do our proper work in carrying out proper scrutiny of the efficiency of this fund then we need this information to be clearly set out. An annual report, as suggested by the committee, would be a very good idea. Generally speaking, the concern that we have—and it is encapsulated in this motion for the supplementary budget—is that there’s a lack of transparency once again. That doesn’t allow us, therefore, to hold the Government to account.
