The Welsh Government

The Welsh Government is the devolved governing body responsible for making and managing policies in Wales, a part of the UK. It handles areas such as health, education, transport, and the environment, tailoring decisions to Welsh needs. Led by the First Minister and supported by various ministers, it works alongside the UK government but has specific powers granted by the Welsh Parliament (Senedd). The government aims to improve well-being, economic growth, and public services within Wales, operating within a framework of parliamentary democracy and working closely with other parts of the UK.
