QNR – in the Senedd on 8 March 2017.
Every local authority in Wales provides a range of parenting support which encompasses universally available information and advice, parenting groups and targeted and intensive support. Local authorities have responsibility for deciding the precise nature of local service delivery depending on local circumstances and identified needs within their own areas.
The Welsh Government is engaging with a wide range of stakeholders as part of the development and delivery of the childcare offer.
We continue to support local authorities and third sector partners to deliver the homelessness provisions within Part 2 of the Housing (Wales) Act 2014, which ensures everyone who is homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, gets help to either prevent their homelessness or find suitable alternative accommodation.
The Welsh Government is strongly committed both to supporting older people and to promoting equality between genders. This is reflected in the provisions of the wellbeing of future generations Act and the strategy for older people, which supports action to address issues facing both women and men in later life.
I intend to introduce a Bill very shortly to end the right to buy. Our social housing is a valuable resource, but it is under considerable pressure. Protecting it from further reduction will ensure people in housing need, many of whom are vulnerable, can access a home they can afford.
