Part of 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Local Government and Public Services – in the Senedd at 2:43 pm on 29 November 2017.

It's a bit of a reconfigured department that you'll be running, in that you have the local government responsibilities that Mark Drakeford used to hold and also the communities portfolio, which has come from a different department. So, it may take us all a little while to get used to what is, essentially, a new portfolio. So, my first question is: how do you think this new department will better deliver on local government and public service issues in Wales?
