Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Finance and Trefnydd – in the Senedd at 2:00 pm on 5 February 2020.
Well, the third sector, of course, generally, I would say, does not classify as Welsh Government sponsored bodies. When we're talking about Welsh Government sponsored bodies, they would be executive bodies such as Natural Resources Wales, the arts council, or advisory bodies such as the Welsh Medical Committee, the Welsh Optometric Committee, or tribunals such as the mental health review tribunal, Welsh language tribunal and so on. So, this wouldn't be a Welsh Government sponsored body matter, but I know that the Minister with responsibility for the third sector is always very keen to ensure that those organisations aren't duplicating, and, in fact, it's often a requirement now of grants that the proposals are brought forward in partnership with other organisations in order to ensure that those organisations are maximising their contribution but also seeking, then, to avoid that kind of duplication. But, if you have any particular grants of concern, then I'd be obviously more than happy to take a look at them.
