Welsh Government Draft Budget 2024-2025: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services, the Deputy Minister for Social Services and the Deputy Minister for Mental Health and Well-being

Welsh Government Draft Budget 2024-2025: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services, the Deputy Minister for Social Services and the Deputy Minister for Mental Health and Well-being
In terms of driving down the challenge in waiting lists, to what extent is that about budget, and to what extent is it not about budget?
17 January 2024Health and Social Care Committee
Welsh Government Draft Budget 2024-2025: evidence session with the Minister for Health and Social Services, the Deputy Minister for Social Services and the Deputy Minister for Mental Health and Well-being
Thank you, Mabon. This is the final year, isn't it, of the three-year spending period outlined in the 2022-23 budget. So, considering the issues around inflation and other financial constraints as well, are you on track to fund and deliver everything…
