has today (Thursday
14th November 2024) reflected on her first 100 days as
First Minister of Wales.
The First Minister said:
“When I became First Minister, I promised to champion the voices
that have too often been sidelined, to stand up for parts of
Wales that have too often felt forgotten, and to always be a
listening First Minister.
“But more than that - I promised to be a First Minister focused
on delivery. After 100 days in office, we can show how this
Government is delivering - not just promises, but concrete action
for our communities.”
Since became First Minister on
6th August, the Welsh Government has, among its
achievements:
- Completed the roll-out of free school meals to all primary
school pupils
- Provided above-inflation pay awards to thousands of public
sector workers
- Invested £28m to bring down the longest hospital waits
- Made registered day nurseries permanently exempt from
business rates
- Officially opened the new medical school in North Wales for
its first direct intake of students
- Supported the creation and protection of jobs, including more
than 300 jobs on Deeside
The First Minister went on to say:
“There is a long list of achievements – but it will be longer, as
we continue to deliver for the people of Wales. We have lots more
to do and there is much more to come.
“The path ahead isn't easy. We face huge challenges, but we will
face them together, as one Wales.”
