Question
What is the Welsh Government doing to provide greater financial security for arms-length bodies, specifically the ability to plan beyond short term annual spending reviews?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Finance (Elin Jones)
Despite facing an extremely challenging fiscal context, we are committed to providing greater medium-term financial certainty wherever possible to our arms-length bodies, to support effective planning and delivery of services. We will publish our Draft Budget on 17 November 2026, which will set out a multi-year budget aligned to the spending review settlement. This will provide a longer-term funding framework than has been given in recent years and will help public bodies to plan and prioritise activity over a multi-year period.
