Ken Skates: The role of the ONS is to determine whether bodies are classified as public sector bodies within the national accounts or otherwise. Such decisions are taken on the basis of the relevant contractual documentation, and decisions are arrived at by reference to the prevailing EU legislation, ESA2010, and its interpretative guidelines, the Manual on Government Deficit and Debt (2016). Discussions around the revision of these interpretative guidelines, which would assist our assessment of risk in the Circuit of Wales proposal, have been ongoing since summer 2015. Discussions with HMT about aspects of the Circuit of Wales proposal specifically have been ongoing since March 2016.

Derbyniwyd ateb ar 7 Gorffennaf 2017
Ken Skates: The level of Welsh Government support being sought by Heads of the Valleys Development Company changed significantly in the lead up to the Ministerial decision on 6 April 2016. Between August 2015 and March 2016 a range of funding options for the Circuit of Wales project were explored between the developers, local authorities and Welsh Government officials. Following those exploratory discussions, what emerged during March 2016 was a proposal that required a 100% Welsh Government guarantee of the £357million investment. This proposal was set out for Ministers in the formal advice submitted on 5 April 2016.

Derbyniwyd ateb ar 6 Gorffennaf 2017
Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Addysg (Kirsty Williams): Work is currently ongoing across the health department to reduce the number of health-related directories to a single entity. There is a directory available, Dewis Cymru which provides information and advice to support citizens' well-being needs, including mental health. A link for Dewis Cymru is as follows: https://www.dewis.wales/
Local authorities, the NHS and third sector organisations in Wales encourage and support local organisations to add their information for services which matter to people across Wales. Work is currently underway to specifically develop a site for children and young people.
Positive progress within Dewis is also being made to share information with Infoengine, which is the third-sector resource directory.
To co-ordinate this work and bring together these three strands into one 'virtual' Directory of Services (DoS), the Welsh Government has established a National DoS Project Board which is made up of representatives across health, social care and the third sector. The development of a single 'virtual' DoS is vital as it will enable users to find and view services across the health and care spectrum through a single search mechanism.
Moreover, our Welsh Government funded, NHS led Together for Children and Young People programme (T4CYP) is examining the way in which specialist mental health services work with primary care and others in social services, education, youth justice and the third sector to ensure young people have timely access to appropriate help and support to meet their needs. T4CYP will clarify referral pathways so that all professionals can understand when emotional and mental health issues are developing; deal with them appropriately within their field of competence; and when outside their competence know who and where to seek further help and support for the child.
