PUBLIC SERVICES NOT PRIVATE PROFIT CAMPAIGN IN WALES

That this House recognises that public service provision in Wales has been undermined by privatisation, job cuts, inadequate pay and office closures; notes that more than 5,000 of the 70,000 Civil Service job cuts across the UK since 2004 have been in Wales; believes that privatisation, including the promotion of contestability and outsourcing, puts at risk the accountable and effective delivery of a wide range of public services; therefore supports the Public Services Not Private Profit campaign, which brings together trade unions across the public sector; and calls on the Government to introduce a moratorium on privatisation and to engage in a constructive dialogue about how the Government, the Welsh Assembly, local communities and the trade unions can work together to provide the high quality public services that people need.
