Welsh Government first 100 days progress

Overview

The Welsh Government has marked its first 100 days in office by reporting progress on several key policy priorities and launching a digital dashboard to track 96 initial commitments.

Key milestones include increased incentives for teacher training, the expansion of funded childcare, and the extension of Free School Meals to more secondary school pupils beginning in September. In healthcare, an expert group has been established to plan new surgical hubs to address NHS waiting times. Other measures include a multi-year funding agreement for farmers and the announcement of a new north-south coach service to improve connectivity.

First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth has noted upcoming fiscal challenges, stating that next year’s budget is expected to be lower in real terms than the current one. He emphasized the need for fairer funding from the UK Government and intends to discuss these financial pressures directly with the Prime Minister in October.
