Thank you for that. It is important that there aren’t unintended consequences happening as a result of changing the way this funding is distributed.

Another group that is suffering extreme prejudice is the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, and a report published today demonstrates that 45 per cent, almost half, of members of the trans community fear identifying themselves in terms of their gender identity, because that would lead to discrimination. I’d like to ask for an update from you on the plan to create a gender identity scheme here in Wales. I spoke to a person who was working in a gender identity clinic in London, and he said that there were many people travelling there or were travelling to Leeds in order to receive services. The delay before establishing this service in Wales is unacceptable, and it was part of the deal struck between your party and my own at the beginning of this Assembly, but that is two years ago now.
