As our agent Sport Wales continues to focus investment on increasing participation in all parts of Wales with a particular emphasis on women and girls. We are seeing increased participation in a number of sports but there is more to do in order to narrow the gender gap.

Welsh Government led the way in planning for an ageing population, with our first Strategy for Older People in 2003. The Intermediate Care fund has provided £110 million to improve care and support for older people. We have invested another £30m improving services for older people and mental health services.
