Mark Drakeford AM, Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government
The Welsh Government’s First Supplementary Budget for 2016-17 is published today.
The main purpose of this Supplementary Budget is to align the 2016-17 budget structures with the changes to the Ministerial portfolios and responsibilities announced by the First Minister in May and to reflect the budgetary changes since the Final Budget 2016-17 published by the Welsh Government in March.
It also sets out a limited number of allocations from our reserves to regularise commitments made by the previous Assembly and includes revised Annually Managed Expenditure forecasts.
