Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 5:12 pm on 30 November 2022.
I know you made the point on the fact that Sport Wales does help the sector in drawing up a national vision, and Sport Wales, obviously, does such important work, but the Welsh Government actually instruct Sport Wales through its remit letter. At the moment there is a term-long remit letter, but as I understand it, there's nothing to prevent the Welsh Government instructing them to change course. That may be something that the Government could take into consideration in terms of the physical activity development grant and what you saw in New Zealand. It is exceptionally positive that you saw what was happening there, and we look forward very much to hearing more as your plans in that area develop.
In terms of funding, I would say—and I said this in opening the debate—if the Government really believes that sport can be the most effective preventative tool for the nation, then those actions have to meet the rhetoric. I think this is a tension that isn't going to go away.
