QNR – in the Senedd on 4 October 2022.
Welsh Government is committed to ending homelessness across Wales. We will invest over £197 million in homelessness and housing support services during this financial year alone. Funding the homes of the future includes £12.3 million in social housing grant to Gwynedd Council.
Orthopaedic waiting times, like other waiting times, are not where I nor the public want them to be. We have invested £170 million recurrently to help address the backlog and I am pleased to note that waits over two years are reducing.
The tax changes announced in the fiscal statement provide no additional resources to fund Welsh public services at a time when costs are rising sharply.
The report highlights the pressures being faced by our workforce due to the COVID pandemic and a global shortage of nursing staff. I remain committed to ensuring that we have the right number of nurses and healthcare staff to meet the care needs of the people of Wales.
