I heard what the Deputy Minister has said in response to David Melding about the existing support, but she will be aware that we have, in recent months, seen smaller local housing associations, who are very well-rooted in their communities, losing out on funding bids to bigger organisations that may not be as well rooted. The Deputy Minister will be aware of women-led third sector local organisations losing out on providing domestic abuse support to much bigger organisations that may not have that level of local knowledge and specialism. In my own constituency, we've seen a small local voluntary organisation that provides a very specialist service to very traumatised children losing funding to a big organisation based in an English university.

So, I'm asking the Deputy Minister whether she will consider looking again at the guidance that she's already mentioned to David Melding and also having further conversations with local authorities in Wales to ensure that the funding practice is always consistently applied. Because it does seem to me, representing a very big region, that there is regional variation between county councils and, while I wouldn't wish to suggest, Llywydd, to the Deputy Minister that the smaller organisations are always better, I think we are at risk of losing that local expertise when organisations are not skilled up to make bids for those very competitive commercial-style tenders.
