Part of 2. Questions to the Leader of the House and Chief Whip (in respect of her portfolio responsibilities) – in the Senedd at 2:40 pm on 6 December 2017.
Diolch, Llywydd. Leader of the house, one way to develop community cohesion is to tackle loneliness in rural communities. You'll no doubt be aware of the Campaign to End Loneliness, which sadly shows that nine in 10 people in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire believe loneliness in older age is now more likely than ever. In light of this very serious statistic, what specific funding has the Welsh Government made available to communities to specifically combat loneliness and develop community cohesion? Will you commit to publishing a breakdown of where that funding has been allocated?
