Live updates as Welsh Government announces huge spending plans in draft budget to improve, hospitals, schools, roads and trains

The Welsh Government has published its spending plans for the next financial year, promising more money to every single government department compared to last year. The spending plan, known as the draft budget, lays out how ministers plan to distribute the £26bn spending Welsh Government is responsible for.

All departments including health, education and rural affairs, will receive increases in both revenue and capital funding with the Welsh Government pledging it will allow "substantial investments in the school estate, NHS infrastructure, housing and public transport". Capital expenditures are typically one-time large costs, like building new schools or hospitals, while revenue is the ongoing operating expenses.

The Welsh Government say this budget includes £1.5bn of extra funding compared to last year - that figure is different to the £1.7bn extra the UK Government said it was giving Wales in the budget in October because their figure included spending over two financial years. For the first time at this stage of the budget process, the Welsh Government say that capital spending is more then £3bn.
