A wnaiff y Gweinidog amlinellu faint o'r £6.8 biliwn o arian ychwanegol a ddarparwyd gan Lywodraeth y DU ers dechrau'r pandemig sydd wedi'i ddyrannu gan Lywodraeth Cymru, a faint sydd wedi'i symud i gronfeydd wrth gefn?

The Welsh Government received consequentials of £5.7 billion in 2020-21 and £2.1 billion to date in the financial year 2021-22. 

In 2020-21 the Welsh Government was able to carry over up to £660 million into the financial year 2021-22, with the agreement of HM Treasury, due to the late allocation of consequentials.  The Third Supplementary Budget detailed our final reserve levels in 2020-21, with a link to this below:

Allocations in respect of 2021-22 have been made in my recent Draft, Final and First Supplementary Budget of 2021-22.  The total value of these allocations was £1.6 billion and the details are set out in the links as follows:

Since the publication of the first Supplementary Budget I have been assessing further proposals for financial assistance to respond to the ongoing impacts of the pandemic and recovery measures.  I will shortly be updating the Senedd with the details of these proposed additional funding packages.
