Thank you for recognising the important work that RCT have been doing in terms of investing in their staff to retain and value them. I think that's been really important, and an excellent intervention on their behalf. The Welsh Government is currently working with partners to better understand the full implications of our move towards ensuring that all staff in the social care sector are paid the real living wage, and in doing so, to better understand the ways in which we can ensure that it is the staff who benefit from the uplift that is provided.

The £42 million that you referred to for social services I know has been welcomed by local government, but I've had some good discussions with them recently where they've been very, very clear with me that additional funding this year will still be required. So, I've been working with local government and with the Minister for Health and Social Services to identify a figure for that to ensure that we're able to respond to that as soon as possible. We'll do that through the COVID reserve and I hope that either I or the Minister for Health and Social Services will be saying more on that very, very shortly.
