TWO Senedd scrutiny committees slammed the Welsh government’s draft Budget yesterday for being devoid of detail and failing to properly fund the women’s health plan.

The finance committee criticised the proposed Budget for the next financial year as riddled with “empty words” in its report published ahead of today’s discussion and vote on the Budget.

It called for urgent changes to be made as the current proposals “lack focus and clarity.”
