The number crunching is over, negotiations have ended, | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
the Welsh Government has announced its spending plans for next year. | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
It has more than ?15 billion to spend on public services - | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
?40 million less than they have this year. | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
But, the draft budget includes an extra ?425 million | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
But the extra spending on health means cuts in local government | :00:36. | :00:45. | |
Here's our political correspondent, Daniel Davies. | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
Finance Minister Jane Hutt has less to spend. | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
So another part of the public sector will feel the pain | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
of her funding injection for the health service. | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
Here's how the picture fits together. | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
There'll be an extra ?425 million for the health service | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
over two years - ?225 million of it next year. | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
There'll be more for the economy, science | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
and transport next year too - ?14 million. | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
But every other department gets a cut. | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
Education is down more than ?28 million. | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
Funding for local councils will fall by more than ?192 million. | :01:26. | :01:34. | |
The Welsh government isn't just short of cash. | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
It's short of seats in the Assembly too - it has no majority. | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
Fundamental differences with the Conservatives | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
and a row with Plaid Cymru mean Labour has just one option | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
Their price - a ?200 million deal over two years, | :01:45. | :01:58. | |
with more funding for school children from deprived families. | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
It has always been the Welsh Liberal Democrat priority to make sure that | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
we begin to close the educational funding gap that exists between | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
England and Wales, starting with our poorest pupils first. We have | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
secured an increase in the amount of money that goes to schools to | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
educate our most vulnerable children. | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
The deal includes completing a long-awaited link road | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
to Cardiff Bay and a pledge not to start building | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
the new M4 relief road near Newport before the next assembly election. | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
It was the government's support for that motorway which drove | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
Unfortunately if you take money away from social services and | :02:32. | :02:42. | |
from other supporting budgets, the elderly will suffer and there will | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
be a merry-go-round and increased pressure | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
will come on the health service again. | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
Few AMs would begrudge a shot in the arm for the NHS. | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
The reason the UK government is having to make cuts is | :02:56. | :03:08. | |
because of the previous UK Labour government spending too much money. | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
The debt has got to be paid off, even the Labour Party know that. | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
But with the amount of money the assembly is getting, ?15 billion, | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
the health service could be more of a priority. | :03:17. | :03:27. | |
The people of Wales will be pleased to hear we are putting in ?425 | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
million into their health service but we have advice from the Nuffield | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
foundation saying if we put this investment in, we can make the | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
health service affordable and sustainable in Wales. | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
If you were Carwyn Jones' Finance Minister, | :03:46. | :03:46. | |
You have got to spend more on hospital nurses. | :03:47. | :03:55. | |
the Accident and Emergency Department is going so the nearest | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
Crafting a budget with fewer resources. | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
Jane Hutt has got a deal on her spending plans, but when there | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
are cuts to make, her handiwork won't be to everyone's taste. | :04:14. | :04:24. | |
Senior health officer at Wales's largest health board has said that | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
the death of a patient was a watermark in heavy deal with patient | :04:32. | :04:41. | |
care. Timothy Cowen died after an operation to remove his gall | :04:42. | :04:42. | |
bladder. Tim Cowans had severe learning | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
difficulties since birth but the inquest heard he loved life | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
as far as he could. the cinema, theatre. The last week | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
of his life exposed a series of He went to Wrexham Maelor Hospital | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
for a gall bladder operation He was discharged on the 25th | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
but here is noticed He was discharged on the 25th | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
but carers noticed and he was taken to Accident | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
and Emergency a few days later. But the inquest was told there were | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
questions whether the hospital, whether | :05:20. | :05:27. | |
his feeding was carried out safely. His condition was not properly | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
assessed before he was discharged. Giving evidence, Betsi Cadwaladr | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
Health Board chief of staff said the organisation had | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
had some dark times. Timothy's case is a watershed case, | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
she said. After the hearing, | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
his family said despite having to fight for an enquiry into his death, | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
they are now satisfied that changes That such a change is due to the | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
death of my brother is humbling. In death, Timothy has achieved more | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
than most would consider possible For the family, this was always | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
about making sure this would not happen again and the training | :06:08. | :06:21. | |
the coroner has asked the health board to put in | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
place will help. They have turned a corner | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
but not completely yet. This evening, in a statement, | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
the Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board apologised for what it said were | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
a range of clinical errors. An investigation had recommended | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
training for staff in the care The coroner said that training | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
should be made compulsory. Carmarthenshire Council's | :06:38. | :06:48. | |
chief executive Mark James part of the council's voluntary | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
redundancy scheme. Mr James was cleared of criminal | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
offences earlier this year following findings | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
by the Wales Audit Office that the authority had made | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
unlawful payments to him. If Mr James earns up to ?185,000 a | :07:01. | :07:07. | |

What a remarkable September it has been. More than likely, the second | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
driest on record in Wales, the warmest since 2006 and Wales was the | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
sunniest nation of the UK but there is a big change on the way. Next | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
week, the jet stream will move further south and low pressure will | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
bring us all some rain and it will turn cooler. Drive for most of us | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
tonight, the odd spot of light rain -- dry. Tomorrow morning, the low | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
cloud and best will lift, most of the country will try -- Cloud and | :08:43. | :08:47. | |

Across the UK, bright spells and sunshine breaking through in England | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
but more cloud than today, the thickest across northern England, | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
with a few spots of rain. Brightening up nicely across | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland with some sunshine. Showers in the far | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
north-west where it will be breezy. 21 in London. In Wales tomorrow | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
afternoon, quite cloudy, the odd light shower but not amounting to | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
much and it will gradually improve from the West, the cloud breaking | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
and lifting with a little sunshine. 17 the high in Aberystwyth. Tomorrow | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
night is fine and dry with some mist patches forming and cooler than | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
recently. Five or lower in Snowdonia. The fog patches will lift | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
on Thursday morning and a measure of cloud and sunshine and generally | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
dry. A few spots of drizzle on Friday and the wind picking up with | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
some heavy rain reaching the far north-west later in the day. That | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
will move south east and clear on Saturday with some sunshine, turning | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
fresher. Thanks very much. More on all of our | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
