Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 5:25 pm on 27 November 2019.
Well, Welsh Government has, over a period of years, prioritised the health service in terms of its budget and I've been very clear in the discussions that we've had in this Chamber and elsewhere that Welsh Government will again, this year, in our budget, which we'll be publishing on 16 December, be prioritising the health service alongside, of course, giving local authorities the best possible settlement.
The motion refers to Welsh rates of income tax, and we've committed in our manifesto and I've repeated, ad infinitum, in the Chamber that we will not be raising Welsh rates of income tax during this Assembly term.
