Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:15 pm on 6 November 2018.
I think it is correct to say that there have been funding difficulties as far as local government is concerned. What we seek to do and what we will continue to seek to do is to work with local government and other providers to ensure that there are no gaps—and there are gaps. It is true to say that coverage is not even across Wales. That is not something that we can rest easy with. We will look as part of the gender review that's being taken forward by the leader of the house and we will look at what funding might be possible in the future, given the financial squeeze that we have, in order to fill in the gaps in service provision that have been identified and that the Member raises.
