Will the Counsel General outline the key achievements in her role as Minister of Delivery since her appointment?
The Welsh Government is relentlessly focused on delivering for the people of Wales and my role as Minister for Delivery is central to that mission. Since my appointment, I’ve worked closely with Cabinet colleagues to embed a delivery-first culture across government.
We’ve introduced regular, data-driven Cabinet meetings focused solely on delivery, and I lead frequent performance sessions with Cabinet leads to ensure progress against the First Minister’s four priorities: Better Health, Better Transport, More Jobs, and More Homes.
Our approach is already delivering results. Waiting times for NHS treatment are falling, with the number of people waiting more than two years down 86% from the peak.
Over 700km of road have been improved, 77% of trains in Wales are now new and we’ve supported over 40,000 jobs through £600m of investment. Nearly 9,000 social homes have been delivered, backed by record investment of nearly £2bn this term.
These are the outcomes of a government delivering with purpose, pace and clarity and my role is to make sure that continues right through to the end of the term.
