Will the Cabinet Secretary provide a breakdown of up-to-date wellbeing indicators in the areas covered by the Valleys Taskforce, as well as a breakdown of the wellbeing indicators that existed in those areas prior to the establishment of the taskforce?

The national wellbeing indicators are unchanged from the version laid in March 2016. Data are published at a regional level where it is available.

As well as our work continually being assessed and where necessary challenged by the taskforce, we have a programme board in place which is accountable for overseeing, monitoring and challenging the progress made against each of the actions in the Our Valleys, Our Future delivery plan.

As the national wellbeing indicators will not always allow us to measure progress over the short-term we are using additional data sources to monitor progress against actions in the plan.
