Economic figures like GDP and unemployment figures are not the only measures of who we are or where we want to take society. For the first time, the summer economic statement referred to the well-being framework and a swathe of other aspects that measure quality of life and what is important to us, such as education, physical and mental health, biodiversity and a range of different aspects. While the framework is not fully in place, having it as part of the summer economic statement was a huge benchmark. That says to people that there are other yardsticks for prioritising funding. How do the Ministers see the framework influencing this budget and others beyond that?
