(Translated)

The loss of EU funding is now resulting in the closure of vital economic programmes across Wales as well as significant job losses in a range of sectors. These are the consequences of a botched UK Government replacement scheme that short-changes Wales by £1.1 billion

There is nothing specifically for mid or west Wales in the Chancellor's budget. The Chancellor deliberately chose to prioritise small spending measures instead of using the headroom he had to address the very real challenges people and businesses are facing now.

NHS 111 Wales is a national service. Welsh Government officials hold 111 executive leads to account for delivery of timely and quality services to patients across Wales through bimonthly integrated quality planning and delivery meetings. Officials also closely monitor key experience, performance and quality indicators on a daily basis.
