Please find below my response in relation to those issues which fall under my remit as Minister for Health and Social Services. An update on the Welsh Government’s findings from its exploratory work with the Future Generations Commissioner’s Office to explore Social Impact Bonds as an outcomes-based investment model to reduce entry into care for Looked after Children, once that work is completed We will seek to appoint a suitable organisation to take this forward. As stated in my evidence, so far we have been working with the company Social Finance but depending on the arrangements we may need to seek procurement advice before finalising any contractual details. We would need to identify suitable and willing local government partners to trial the scheme. Finally, it would then be necessary to undergo a selection process for the providers of finance and the third sector organisations who would deliver the service, which would be provided to the participating local authorities. The work of these third sector partners should generate savings for local authorities who can then repay the finance providers. Once the funding is repaid, the authorities will be able to utilise the savings to fund other services.
