Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi a'r Seilwaith (Ken Skates): When talking to potential investors, we utilise all available levers to make the case for choosing Pembrokeshire as a place to invest whenever it forms a good fit with the company's requirements.
We have introduced a number of initiatives, including the Haven Waterway Enterprise Zone (EZ), which are proving instrumental in attracting business. We are enhancing Pembrokeshire's attractiveness by creating the right infrastructure for businesses to flourish, such as the prioritisation of the roll-out of next generation broadband to Haven Waterway and improvements in the transport network, particularly along the A40.
We also work with a number of partners including UKTI and Pembrokeshire County Council to make sure Pembrokeshire's various strengths are put in front of investors as often as possible. Harnessing marine energy, for example, is one area in which Pembrokeshire businesses are leading the way on a global stage. Many of the world's leading developers choose Wales to base their business and develop their Marine Energy technology. We aim to capitalise on this over the coming months.

Gofyn i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Iechyd, Llesiant a Chwaraeon
Rhun ap Iorwerth (Ynys Môn): Beth yw'r costau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn amcangyfrif y bydd yn eu hysgwyddo yn sgil ffurfio partneriaethau rhwng byrddau iechyd lleol ac awdurdodau lleol? (WAQ70798)
Derbyniwyd ateb ar 12 Awst 2016
Gweinidog Iechyd y Cyhoedd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol (Rebecca Evans): The Welsh Government does not expect additional costs as a result of the formation of Regional Partnership Boards. The Delivering Transformation grant has however made £9 million available to partners since 2013 to put in place the requirements of the Act, including the establishment of boards.
The Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 gave Welsh Ministers powers to establish new Regional Partnership Boards to take forward the effective delivery of integrated health and social services in Wales. Seven new boards have been established on the health board footprint. The purpose of Regional Partnership Boards is to improve the well-being outcomes of people and improve the efficiency of service delivery by ensuring the effective use of resources and pooled budgets.
The Act requires local authorities and health boards to jointly undertake an assessment of care and support needs. Regional Partnership Boards must respond to that population assessment, specifically, taking a preventative approach to meeting care and support needs. Supporting statutory guidance also sets out the requirement for boards to prioritise the integration of services in relation to:
- Older people with complex needs and long term conditions, including dementia.
- People with learning disabilities.
- Carers, including young carers.
- Integrated Family Support Services.
- Children with complex needs due to disability or illness.
Regional Partnership Boards are required to establish pooled funds in relation to the exercise of their family support functions and in relation to any functions they exercise jointly in response to the population assessment from April 2016. In addition, pooled funds will be required in relation to the exercise of functions relating to the provision of care home accommodation for adults from April 2018.

Rhun ap Iorwerth (Ynys Môn): Pa asesiadau a wnaed gan Lywodraeth Cymru o'r costau a'r manteision ariannol sy'n gysylltiedig â chreu'r saith bwrdd iechyd lleol yn 2009 ac a ellid darparu dadansoddiad manwl o'r costau perthnasol? (WAQ70800)
Rhun ap Iorwerth (Ynys Môn): Pa arbedion sydd wedi'u sicrhau ers creu'r saith bwrdd iechyd lleol yn 2009, ac a ellid darparu dadansoddiad manwl o'r arbedion hyn? (WAQ70801)
Derbyniwyd ateb ar 12 Awst 2016
Vaughan Gething: Savings were made in management and administrative areas following the 2009 reform due to the improved "economies of scale" secured from the move to smaller number of larger organisations. The overall number of board posts in NHS organisations reduced from 180 to 78, a reduction of 102 posts. These structural changes resulted in an estimated reduction in costs of Board level structures by an order of £6m-£7m. The Welsh Government does not hold specific information on the savings generated as a result of those reforms, but collectively, NHS Wales organisations have delivered in excess of £1.1 billion savings since 2009.
The costs of the 2009 NHS reform were managed by NHS organisations within their existing resources. No additional funding was made available by the then Welsh Assembly Government, with the exception of £2.897 million funding to health boards to enable them to meet the additional audit fees associated with the mid-year accounts.
Mohammad Asghar (Dwyrain De Cymru): Pryd fydd proffylacsis (PrEP) ar gael drwy'r GIG yng Nghymru i drin HIV? (WAQ70816)
Derbyniwyd ateb ar 12 Awst 2016
Vaughan Gething: We take an evidence-based approach towards the introduction of new medicines in the NHS in Wales, making all medicines approved by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) or All Wales Medicines Strategy Group (AWMSG) routinely available. In terms of HIV, this means that anti-retroviral and post-exposure prophylaxis drugs which have been approved by these bodies are readily available to patients who can benefit from them.
Public Health Wales will be reviewing the available evidence for PrEP to develop a policy position statement which will include consideration of the current learning from ongoing trials in London and France, alongside existing evidence from other areas where PrEP has been introduced.
The appraisal will take account of all available evidence and access in Wales will be determined by the outcome of the appraisal by AWMSG.

Derbyniwyd ateb ar 12 Awst 2016
Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gyllid a Llywodraeth Leol (Mark Drakeford): The Welsh Government is subject to the powers of the Ombudsman.

Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Addysg (Kirsty Williams): Priorities for the provision of secondary education in the Haverfordwest area are the same as across the rest of Wales.
Local Authorities, including Pembrokeshire County Council, are responsible for planning school places and have to keep under review the extent to which their existing pattern of school provision meets current and forecast demand for places and the requirements of the modern curriculum.
When considering change, local authorities must comply with the School Standards and Organisation (Wales) Act 2013 and the School Organisation Code and must consider a range of factors, the most important of which is the effect of proposals on quality and standards in education.

I will consider these in due course alongside a refreshed ‘Rewriting the future’. Funding decisions, including those relating to the £100m additional funding, will be considered in the round and further information provided in due course.
