This is set out in paragraph 3.6 of the ministerial code.

Our policies seek to open up contracts to local suppliers. Following the procurement review, we are working with stakeholders in adopting new procedures that further grow economic and community wealth across Wales.

The five ways of working established through the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 form the foundation of Welsh Government’s approach to involving citizens and stakeholders in decision making.

The Welsh Government recognises the wider potential of the e-sports industry and we have held early stage discussions with organisations regarding the delivery of e-sports events in Wales. The Welsh Government also actively supports the growth of the video games sector.

'A Healthier Wales' sets out our vision for health care services, and the primary care model for Wales is instrumental to delivering our aims for general practice. We are working with NHS Wales and representative bodies to continue to improve the delivery of services to the people of mid Wales.

The sum of £800,000 has been invested to date establishing the ACE support hub in Wales. The hub provides expert advice, support and training to help services to understand and tackle ACEs. Our Flying Start and Families First programmes support families, who may experience ACEs, by offering appropriate and timely interventions.

The planning system supports local supply chains by promoting the benefit of locally sourced materials and construction. Through diversification of the house building industry and promotion of SMEs and self-build sectors, use can be made of local labour and supplies of materials encouraging the local retention of profits.

Improving access to vocational training in Wales is a continuous effort. In 2018-19, that effort was underpinned by an additional £10 million from the Welsh Government to address job-specific skills gaps at a regional level.

Tourism is a major driver of the economy all across Wales, including Islwyn. That is why it is identified as a foundation sector and why we have launched a consultation on the priorities for the future of tourism across Wales. I urge all parts of the tourism sector to respond to the consultation.
