Former minister Alun Davies says "One of the fundamental failures in Wales is the culture of regulation", adding "we need a culture that recognises failure and does something about it."

The Social Care (Wales) bill is currently at Stage 1.

There is generally a four-stage process for the consideration of a Public Bill involving:

Stage 1 - consideration of the general principles of the Bill by a committee, and the agreement of those general principles by the Assembly;

Stage 2 - detailed consideration by a committee of the Bill and any amendments tabled to that Bill;

Stage 3 - detailed consideration, by the Assembly, of the Bill and any amendments tabled to that Bill;

Stage 4 - a vote by the Assembly to pass the final text of the Bill.

The Bill includes provision for:

• reform of the regulatory regime for care and support services;

• provision of a regulatory framework that requires an approach to the regulation of care and support services focused on outcomes for service users;

• reform of the inspection regime for local authority social services functions;

• the reconstitution and renaming of the Care Council for Wales as Social Care Wales and the broadening of its remit; and

• the reform of the regulation of the social care workforce.

Members have reached the last item of the day which is a debate on the General Principles of the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Bill.

The former Deputy Minister for Social Services, Gwenda Thomas says "For the first time, carers will have the same rights to assessment and support to meet their needs as adults and children."

The Regulations set out the test which a local authority must apply to determine whether or not an individual with needs identified in an assessment under section 19, 21 or 24 of the Social Services and Wellbeing (Wales) Act 2014 ("the Act") is entitled to have those needs met by a local authority.

Members move on to the penultimate item - The Care and Support (Eligibility) (Wales) Regulations 2015.

The minister says "Last week's Budget confirmed the scale of the in year cuts to our 2015-16 Budget. The £4 million positive consequential from that Budget does little to mitigate the effect of the £50 million reductions previously announced by the Chancellor.

"I had hoped to be today announcing new investments, though small, in capital programmes and other projects. The in-year cuts to our Budget has put paid to that."

Members move on to a debate on the First Supplementary Budget 2015-2016.

The Finance Minister, Jane Hutt says "importantly, for the first time in some 800 years, it enables Wales to take the first steps towards putting in place taxes that are more suited to Welsh circumstances and Welsh preferences."

In particular, the Bill provides for:

• the establishment of the Welsh Revenue Authority (WRA) whose main function will be the collection and management of devolved taxes;

• the conferral of appropriate powers and duties on WRA (and corresponding duties and rights on taxpayers and others) in relation to the submission of tax returns and the carrying out of enquiries and assessments so as to enable WRA to identify and collect the appropriate amount of devolved tax due from taxpayers;

• comprehensive civil investigation and enforcement powers, including powers allowing WRA to require information and documents and to access and inspect premises and other property;

• duties on taxpayers to pay penalties and interest in certain circumstances;

• rights for taxpayers to request internal reviews of certain WRA decisions and to appeal to the First Tier Tribunal against such decisions; and

• the conferral of criminal enforcement powers on WRA.

According to the Welsh government the purpose of this Bill is to put in place the legal framework necessary for the future collection and management of devolved taxes in Wales.

Members have moved on to a statement by the Minister for Finance and Government Business, Jane Hutt on the Introduction of the Tax Collection and Management Bill.

Plaid Cymru's Jocelyn Davies asks if the first minister is in a position to know if "similar circumstances exist now anywhere else" in Wales.

Mr Jones says "no, I'm not aware of that and we would expect with new systems in place that this would not be repeated but we can't be complacent, clearly, and that's why of course we have to take on board the recommendations of the report itself.
