First Minister, Rhodri Morgan has responded to an oral question on the eradication of child poverty in Wales by Christine Chapman. He noted the effect of child poverty on life chances in terms of its impact on the health of children and their educational aspirations. He emphasized the need for good, up-to-date, accurate figures and announced the production of a child poverty and child wellbeing monitor. Publication of the report, which will report on different aspects of child wellbeing including child poverty in Wales, is likely to start in September this year.
