What are the main criticisms of the Welsh government's draft budget, and what immediate actions are recommended by the Senedd's finance committee?

The Welsh government's draft £26bn budget, published in December, faces criticism from the Senedd's finance committee for insufficiently addressing the cost of living crisis. The committee's report, backed unanimously, recommends urgent changes and highlights the need for increased spending on preventative measures to combat poverty and health issues. A vote on the budget is scheduled for Tuesday, with a final vote in March.
