In July we announced an unprecedented guarantee that the Welsh Government would receive at least £4 billion in additional resource funding this year to help them respond to Covid-19. We have now uplifted that by £400m, to at least £4.4 billion, on top of their Spring Budget 20 funding.

This gives the Welsh Government the certainty to plan their coronavirus response in the months ahead.

It is for the Welsh Government to decide how to use this funding irrespective of how UK government provides support in England.
