Question
Has the Cabinet Secretary made any analysis of the efficiency and effectiveness of Natural Resources Wales should it lose 265 posts?
Answer
Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
Public sector budgetary pressures across all public services in Wales are well documented and no organisations, including Natural Resources Wales (NRW), are immune to extremely tough budgetary conversations and subsequent decisions regarding its operations.
NRW is critically reviewing its entire range of activities, recognising that delivery of its core functions and statutory duties must take priority. NRW’s Board is expected to make a decision following this review later in 2024.
