Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:39 pm on 27 February 2018.
I think that's really quite a stretch in terms of public health. We have a very good working relationship with all of our local authority partners in this, and, of course, they're responsible for delivering social care as well. And we have a very well-developed bond with them around travel and health travel in particular. That's something that also comes up in the workforce partnership council from time to time as well. So, I can assure the Member that we have a very good working relationship with local authorities and they take into account all of those sorts of decisions in making some of the very difficult decisions they've had to make given the austerity agenda still being pursued by the UK Government.
