Evaluation of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014: Panel 1
I appreciate those answers, obviously, because a lot of my work in the Senedd is fairly involved in this subject; I've raised it a few times with the Minister in Plenary. It is promising to see an uplift in the pay, but I think as well, you touched on it…
