Ken Skates: In the 2014-15 financial year, Sport Wales is investing £29.1m of Welsh Government and National Lottery funding in community sport in Wales. A detailed breakdown is not held centrally but Welsh Government funding represents some £16m of the total investment. The funding is invested through partners such as local authorities, National Governing Bodies of Sport, the Third Sector and in the case of grants, directly to clubs and organisations at the grassroots.

There are some one hundred stakeholders that receive funding from Sport Wales for Community Sport and it is provided in various forms, from direct funding to National Governing Bodies to one-off grants to sports clubs and other organisations. Not all of the funding will be Welsh Government funding; it will in some cases be National Lottery grants e.g. under the Community Chest scheme that is administered at local authority level.

Investment priorities for 2015-16 are still being considered.

Mohammad Asghar (Dwyrain De Cymru): Pa ganllawiau sydd ar waith i gefnogi awdurdodau lleol i hybu chwaraeon cymunedol a chwaraeon ar lawr gwlad? (WAQ67846)         

Ken Skates: Sport Wales work closely with local authorities across Wales so that people of all ages can take part in range of sporting programmes. These programmes are supported by a number of Sport Wales strategies such as the Community Sport strategy which sets out our aims and promotes effective planning, co-ordination and connectivity across the whole community sport sector.

My officials are also working closely with the Welsh Local Government Association and Sport Wales to ensure that information and advice is available to local authorities when considering future delivery models involving sport and physical activity services.  To assist in this process, I have also asked my officials, to develop a toolkit to aid the transfer of local authority assets to community groups and the voluntary sector. 

Gofyn i'r Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol

Mark Drakeford: In recognition of the need to improve outcomes for lung cancer patients, the Cancer Implementation Group have prioritised a programme of work to drive activity in this area.

The programme of work has three strands:

Cancer Intelligence - exploring what the data is telling us about lung cancer in Wales and supply new information to support the programme;

Public awareness and earlier diagnosis - improving how we engage the public in a targeted way to encourage an earlier appointment with their GP if they have concerns;

Clinical Pathway - improving skills among health professionals in being aware of and dealing with lung cancer; improve current priority areas across the lung cancer clinical pathway.

We do not at this stage have any plans for a national public awareness campaign as we initially need to explore what the data is telling us about access to diagnosis in Wales. We are also awaiting the review of the "Be Clear on Cancer" campaign in England to better understand the impact of national campaigns.

In addition, the changes to the GP contract for 2014/15 requires GP contractors to review the care of all patients newly diagnosed  with lung and digestive system cancers between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2014 using a Significant Event Analysis Tool. The learning and actions from this review will be shared with the GP cluster networks and local health boards. The outcomes of the GP cluster analysis will be included in the GP cluster network annual report to be published by 31 March 2015.   

The UK National Screening Committee advises all four UK countries on all matters related to screening, using the latest available evidence. When the UK NSC last reviewed their policy on lung cancer screening in adult cigarette smokers they advised against a national population screening programme. This policy is due for review in 2015/16
