Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:10 pm on 27 September 2022.
Thank you. The real living wage for social care workers remains a priority for the Welsh Government. The sector urgently needed support with recruitment and retention issues, exacerbated by challenges presented during the COVID-19 pandemic. We made £43 million available to local authorities and health boards for 2022-23 to deliver this support.
