QNR – in the Senedd on 6 December 2022.
The Welsh Government’s policy objective is to avoid the continued extraction and consumption of all fossil fuels, bring to a managed end the extraction and use of coal, and ensure a just transition for those employees and communities affected by this change.
Wales is experiencing the biggest fall in living standards since records began. This is particularly detrimental for those who are already vulnerable, including elderly people. We are targeting support to help them keep warm this winter and ensure they are receiving all the financial support to which they are entitled.
We are taking a Whole System Approach to protecting children and young people’s mental health. We have invested significantly in mental health support from early intervention to specialist services. We have also introduced statutory guidance to embed mental well-being in schools and we are implementing the NEST/NYTH Framework across Wales.
Until the dispute is settled through negotiation and agreement it will continue to have a detrimental impact on both workers and services in Bridgend and across Wales.
