Jeff Cuthbert: The 'Programme for Government' sets out our ambitions for the wellbeing of people and communities in Wales and forms the basis of my priorities in 2014.
The refreshed Tackling Poverty Action Plan was published in July 2013, which builds on the original Plan. It includes specific targets and milestones that we have committed to in areas such as educational attainment, health inequalities and workless households. This included a specific commitment from Cwm Taf Local Health Board (South Wales Central) to develop programmes to improve the health of people in deprived communities and to reduce the difference in life expectancy between the poorest communities and other groups.
The Communities First programme will continue for the life of this Government with the aim of contributing to alleviating persistent poverty. There are 13 Communities First clusters in the South Wales Central area covering the Cardiff, Rhondda Cynon Taff and the Vale of Glamorgan local authority areas. These clusters successfully secured funding totalling £17,885,420 until March 2015. The clusters are continuing to move in a positive direction making a real difference to the most disadvantaged people in our most deprived communities
In 2014 it is my intention to achieve greater alignment and explore the links between work streams across the Communties and Tackling Poverty portfolio, in particular Families First, Flying Start and Communties First. I am also developing further Programme Improvement initiatives that provide additional resources, including funding and staff, to deliver key priorities in Communities First areas in partnership with other Government Departments, Government Sponsored Bodies and partner agencies.
This collaboration will be across Wales and not specific to any area.

Jeff Cuthbert: A total of £484,000 was allocated to Local Authorities during the financial year 2012 – 13 to support them in conducting Play Sufficiency Assessments, as required under section 11(1) of the Children and Families (Wales) Measure.
The Local Authority Play Sufficiency Assessments were completed and submitted to the Welsh Government in March 2013, together with their grant claims. There was a small underspend of £9,590 on the total allocation, due to some Local Authorities not requiring their full grant award. The underspend was therefore utilised for other purposes within the overall budgets for 2012 – 2013.

Jobs assisted is the gross number of jobs created by businesses in receipt of less intensive forms of assistance from Welsh Government.

Huw Lewis: The new maths GCSEs are currently being developed, but our expectation is that learners wishing to progress to A level mathematics should follow both.
Our survey of stakeholders’ views on our proposals, conducted during November and December 2013, set out that we expect that nearly all learners should take the GCSE covering numeracy and that most learners should also take the other GCSE, which will extend to other aspects of mathematics including those needed for progression to scientific, technical or further mathematical study.

Huw Lewis: We do not set floor targets, or minimum standards, for schools in Wales. Secondary school banding is used as an accountability tool to identify those schools in most need of support by looking at their performance set against the context in which they operate. A floor target can be simplistic and misleading since the performance of a school in a leafy suburb would be compared against the performance of a school in highly deprived circumstances without taking the schools’ context into consideration.
Kirsty Williams (Brycheiniog a Sir Faesyfed): A wnaiff y Gweinidog roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am gynnig Cyngor Sir Powys i gael cyfalaf i ail-ddarparu cyfleusterau hamdden ac addysg yn Aberhonddu? (WAQ66217)

Huw Lewis: The Welsh Government has approved, in principle, the first wave of investment in Powys’ 21st Century Schools and Education Programme. At this stage, the total cost of their programme is £78,180,000m. As you know, the Welsh Government capital grant intervention rate, in this first wave, is set at 50%.
As part of their Band A programme of projects, and in partnership with Grwp Neath Port Talbot, Powys County Council submitted a Strategic Outline Case (SOC) for consideration in respect of the Brecon Campus development.
The business case was considered by the DfES Capital Investment Panel in November 2013. At this time, the Capital Investment Panel advised me that the case had significant shortcomings and that a resubmission should be made. My officials subsequently wrote to Powys County Council to advise them of the reasons for this decision. I can confirm there is ongoing dialogue between my officials and officers from the Local Authority regarding the timescales for the re-submission and evaluation of the SOC. I will confirm these to you once they have been confirmed.

Derbyniwyd ateb ar 21 Ionawr 2014
Mark Drakeford: Prescription data is collected by item count and not on an individual patient basis. The data below therefore represents the number of prescription items dispensed in the community, not the number of patients receiving a prescription for mirtazapine (Zispin®). Each individual is likely to receive a number of prescriptions over the year.
Note in particular the following definitions:
Items dispensed: A prescription item refers to a single item prescribed by a doctor (or dentist) on a prescription form. If a prescription form includes three items it is counted as three prescription items. A prescription item may be for a variable quantity e.g 14, 28 or 56 tablets.
Prescription Cost Analysis (PCA) data is routinely published at the following link:

Please note the Statistical Releases and explanatory notes associated with this data (and accessible from the same link) which provide relevant definitions and guidance on the interpretation of prescription statistics.

Mark Drakeford: Together for Health - Cancer Delivery Plan for the NHS sets out the Welsh Government’s commitment to encourage participation in national population screening programmes.
Last year Public Health Wales launched a new Screening for Life campaign aimed at raising awareness and encouraging participation in all NHS screening programmes including cervical screening. Due its success, PHW is planning to run a similar campaign this year.
As part of the policy changes to cervical screening implemented in September 2013, guidance was issued to GPs to remind them of the importance of correct clinical management of abnormal menstrual bleeding in young women. This can be accessed at: www.screeningservices.org.uk/csw/prof

The move to new targets will be evolutionary and reported through changes to the NHS Delivery Framework. That Framework is next expected to be updated in April 2014.
