Welsh Government

The Welsh Government is the devolved government in Wales, responsible for making decisions on areas such as health, education, language and culture, and public services. The government is led by the First Minister of Wales and comprises members of the Welsh Parliament who form the cabinet. Although it operates within a constitutional framework set by the UK Government, the Welsh Government has powers to enact laws on specified matters and has its own budget for spending in Wales. Its primary aim is to improve the quality of life for all people living in Wales; this involves fostering a sustainable economy, protecting the natural environment, and promoting social justice.
