Part of 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Local Government and Public Services – in the Senedd at 2:38 pm on 3 October 2018.
I hope that what we are seeing is a different dynamic with the public services boards. I believe that they're more constructive than the local service boards that preceded them. We've seen their local well-being plans. I think there's a broad variety there, which reflects the different ambitions from PSBs across Wales. I welcome that variety. I welcome the fact that PSBs are discharging their functions with a level of creativity and co-ordinated and joint working that perhaps has been missing from elements of the public sector in the past. I look forward to a period in front of the committee—I suspect it's later this month—and I look forward to debating these issues with you. I also look forward to understanding what the committee's evidence has been and its conclusions, and I look forward to reading the committee's report.
