Building on the work we have carried out in previous budgets and with the third sector, we have, as part of this budget, agreed a definition of preventative spend that will help to support future spending decisions.
The principles of the 'Wales procurement policy statement' support all public bodies, including those in the South Wales West region, to secure best value from their third party expenditure.
We have continued to protect local government in Wales from the worst effects of austerity in our settlement for 2019-20. The setting of budgets and council tax is the responsibility of democratically elected local authorities that are answerable to their local populations for the decisions they make.
