Transport to the new Grange university hospital has been integral to the planning of that site from the very beginning. We want to make sure that patients, relatives and staff from the whole of the catchment area are able to find their way in a timely fashion.

Our £1.7 billion business support package, which is equivalent to 2.6 per cent of our gross value added, complements other UK schemes and means that companies in Wales have access to the most generous offer of help anywhere in the UK. More than 60,000 businesses across Wales have also received grants from the business rates scheme, worth almost £730 million. Many of these will be in the hospitality industry.
