Part of 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Services — Postponed from 8 November – in the Senedd at 2:42 pm on 15 November 2017.
Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd. Cabinet Secretary, your retained responsibilities after the reshuffle include research and development in health and social care, despite having a social care Minister who oversees the work of Social Care Wales. In assessing your budget priorities, you've elected to cut the money available for that research. What current and future research is likely to be compromised by this decision? Is there an effect on Social Care Wales, who were keen to do some research, and will any of your current research partners' own funding be compromised as result of reduced funding from here?
