    Ministers Reflect Jane Hutt 13 September 2018 Biographical details Welsh Assembly history 1999–present: Labour Party Assembly Member for Vale of Glamorgan Welsh government career 2018–present: Chief Whip 2016–17: Leader of the House and Chief Whip 2011–16: Minister for Finance 2009–11: Minister for Business and Budget 2007–09: Minister for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills 2007: Minister for Budget and Assembly Business 2005–07: Minister for Assembly Business and Chief Whip 1999–2005: Minister for Health and Social Services 2 MINISTERS REFLECT Jane Hutt was interviewed by Akash Paun and Tess Kidney Bishop on 13 September 2018 for the Institute for Government’s Ministers Reflect project. Jane Hutt talks about taking responsibility for crises as Health Minister and striking deals with opposition parties as Chief Whip and Finance Minister. Reflecting on the transfer of powers to Wales over her time in government, she calls for “powers for a purpose”. Tess Kidney Bishop (TKB): If we could go back to 1999, can you tell us how you were appointed as the Health Minister? Jane Hutt (JH): Well, it was ‘hit the ground running’ really. We were elected on the Thursday. Labour had the largest number of seats and [Alun] Michael was deputed to be the First Secretary as we called them then. He had to decide whether he could go on and form a minority administration. Within days he then appointed his Cabinet of Labour ministers. Andrew Davies was one, and he appointed me to be Health and Social Services Minister. Obviously everybody knew each other very well.
