Derbyniwyd ateb ar 7 Medi 2017

Vaughan Gething: The NHS Wales Health Collaborative has been developing proposals for the establishment of a major trauma network to cover the region of south Wales, west Wales and south Powys.
Individual health boards will be considering recommendations in relation to the proposed network at their Board meetings during September. This will include formally receiving the independent panel’s report on the operation of a major trauma network and major trauma centre.
Health boards will be asked to consider the acceptance in principle of the recommendations from the independent panel, and to discuss further with community health councils the arrangements for a period of consultation based around those recommendations.
As part of well established processes, health boards routinely publish Board papers on their websites, and the public will therefore be able to access all of the relevant documentation in an open and transparent manner.

Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gyllid a Llywodraeth Leol (Mark Drakeford): The UK Government has not published information on the effectiveness of its relief schemes. Many authorities in England have only recently implemented the relief announced in the UK Government’s March Budget, meaning their impact is not yet discernible.
In contrast, the Welsh Government acted quickly to support ratepayers, including public houses. We extended our Small Business Rates Relief and are consulting on proposals for a new permanent scheme, as well as implementing a transitional relief scheme and high street relief scheme in time for the beginning of the financial year.
 
Mohammad Asghar (Dwyrain De Cymru): Pa gynlluniau sydd gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet i gyflwyno mesurau rhyddhad ardrethi ar gyfer tafarndai yng Nghymru? (WAQ74127)

Derbyniwyd ateb ar 1 Medi 2017

Mark Drakeford: The Welsh Government already has a number of rates relief schemes in place which assist eligible ratepayers, including public houses. These are our Small Business Rates Relief, Transitional Rates Relief and High Street Rates Relief. In addition, local authorities have discretionary powers which they can use to provide further support.
I am also consulting on proposals to introduce a permanent Small Business Rates Relief scheme from 2018 onwards which provides better targeted relief for eligible businesses.
