Yet we’re receiving [no extra money from Westminster](https://www.gov.wales/sites/default/files/publications/2023-12/2024-2025-draft-budget-narrative.pdf). They even clawed back a payment in March because ‘you didn’t spend it fast enough’. There’s doubtlessly ways in which efficiency could be increased. We could squeeze out another £10mil in savings to help plug the £10bil+ budget. But there’s only so much fat you can cut before you start chipping bone.
