Funding early intervention services has been an important consideration in allocating the 2020-21 budget. For example, in 2020-21 we have doubled funding for our whole-school approach to mental health to £5 million, invested £5.5 million to support Healthy Weight: Healthy Wales and invested an additional £3.5 million for the Flying Start approach.

We are investing in Ogmore through developments including INEOS Automotive and the new Tirion residential development, which I visited last month. We have also allocated £3 million for the new National Imaging Academy for Wales at Pencoed, and £3.5 million to redevelop Maesteg town hall, in line with our Valleys taskforce work.
