Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:24 pm on 20 October 2020.

The Welsh Government has therefore created a new £1 million hardship fund, as proposed by national carers organisations. This was announced earlier today alongside our consultation on a new national carers plan.
