Part of 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Local Government and Public Services – in the Senedd at 2:24 pm on 9 May 2018.
I share the concerns about outsourcing to the private sector, but would the Cabinet Secretary agree that there is sometimes a case for public services to be delivered in the voluntary sector? For example, in children's services, the voluntary sector is often able to get much closer to families than staff in the public services. So, would he agree that there is a case for some services to be outsourced to the voluntary sector?
