Of course it doesn’t. That would be hard and expensive. Far easier to spend resources on things like increasing the cost of meal deals, lowering speed limits and cutting down trees.
Just blame London for everything else..
>NSPCC Cymru is quoted in the document saying Cardiff Bay’s current draft strategy on child poverty “lacked detail on how it will work towards its objectives”. **The charity said that rather than talk about how Whitehall policies make the job hard there should be “more focus on what Welsh Government can do, rather than a focus on what it cannot do”.**
Sadly rather typical of how they seem to operate in Cardiff Bay, no accountability and everything is England’s fault.
Typical Welsh Assembly. Blaming the English for everything while not actually doing anything about the problem.
They’re perfectly capable of fixing this, they just have political reasons not to so they can blame it on the Tories and the English and stir up nationalism and populism.
To the critics of the Welsh Government answer this.
There’s currently a £900m deficit per year in Wales. What do you do to lower that?
How would you decrease childhood poverty? What would you spend money on, what would you cut to be able to get that money?
The cold hard fact is this is the predictable result of austerity, I’m not saying things were perfect before but they are a lot worse now.
There’s been underinvestment in Wales for decades and until that changes these stats will only get worse.
