Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Finance and Trefnydd – in the Senedd at 1:56 pm on 18 September 2019.
I note in answers to both myself and other Assembly Members today you have mentioned health first of all as the priority, and all of us, of course, prioritise health, but can I ask you to draw together health and social care in your consideration of what happens to local government funding? Because there's every danger that by pumping into health what some may deem to be necessary for health, very limited resources are left to spend on local government. Without funding for social care in local government we are never going to solve the cumulative and collective health and social care issue. Therefore, can we have an assurance that social care delivered through local government will be prioritised as much as health when it comes to the budget for 2020-21?
