The government will increase funding for the health and rail services, while the budget for education and the Welsh language will see the greatest cut.
The Welsh government has outlined cuts to some services amid 'unprecedented' financial pressures. In the Senedd on Tuesday, the finance minister outlined a package of financial measures which she said would protect public services, the NHS and transport. Rebecca Evans said she was 'grateful' to cabinet colleagues for finding savings within their departments' budgets.
'For our part, we are providing the Welsh government with the largest funding settlement in the history of devolution,' he said. The finance minister added the current financial situation meant the Welsh government would not be able to do 'all the things we wish to do'. Statements such as these are rare outside of a usual budget announcement, with the Welsh government's next budget not due to be published until February.
