The national transport finance plan sets out our programme for modernising transport infrastructure. We also continue to engage with interested parties on the Wylfa Newydd project, to invest in coastal defence, and to develop broadband infrastructure. In addition to this, proposals are being evaluated for the north Wales growth deal.

We have raised with UK Government Ministers and officials the importance of progressing a successful steel sector deal. The deal must recognise the fundamental importance of the sector as an enabler to wider manufacturing supply chains, including automotive, construction and renewables.

The Welsh Government is investing over £30 million per annum in the arts sector through the Arts Council of Wales. We are also joint funding other collaborative programmes such as 'Creative Learning through the Arts' and Anthem, Music Fund Wales.  

The loss of a baby is devastating for any family. We must ensure that bereavement services are available to provide support and the appropriate environment for families to spend time with their baby. Welsh Government is working with the maternity and neonatal networks, and health boards to ensure standardised practice.

The Cabinet Secretary for Local Government and Public Services will announce the provisional local government settlement later today. This will provide details of the core funding for councils delivered through the revenue support grant. The draft budget published last week outlines other key elements of funding for local authorities.  

Credit unions will receive £844,000 over the next two years to support a variety of community projects. An additional £1 million has also been agreed to support credit unions with their growth. This is in recognition of the significant contribution credit unions make to support the financial inclusion of our citizens.

The Welsh Government continues to work alongside the health board to develop its orthopaedic and winter plans and to help them understand the demand and capacity required to meet the needs of its population.
