(Translated) What additional funding will the Welsh Government allocate to Carmarthenshire County Council as it faces increasing energy costs for its buildings?

I prioritised funding for local government in the Welsh Budget.  But the Welsh Government has not received additional funding to respond to the impact of surging energy prices on people and public services in Wales.  Additional funding is urgently needed from the UK Government to support our vital public services.

(Translated) What discussions has the Minister had with the Minister for Health and Social Services regarding the funding of salaries in the National Health Service?

(Translated)

I hold regular bilaterals with the Minister for Health and Social Services, which include discussions on pay, alongside working in social partnership with trade unions. I also continue to press the UK Government to provide the additional funding necessary for fair pay rises for public sector workers.
