May I thank the Minister for her statement? May I welcome the details that have been provided and this update on active travel? Of course, we had a brief discussion on this issue of physical fitness in the health committee last week and the Minister will recall that we mentioned the importance of physical fitness and the importance of keeping fit for us all, whatever our age, but particularly as we influence our children, because it does establish a pattern of behaviour for life.

Fitness and keep fit—. There are certain studies, as I mentioned last week, that demonstrate a reduction of 30 per cent in blood sugar levels if you are fit, as compared to those who are unfit, a reduction of 30 per cent in blood pressure, and a reduction of 30 per cent in cholesterol levels, and in weight. What is noted there, of course, is that if fitness were a tablet or a drug with that significant reduction of 30 per cent in those elements, everyone would be screaming for NICE to allow us doctors to prescribe it, post haste. That’s why fitness deserves far more attention that it’s currently given. It’s far more effective than most of the drugs available to us in dealing with these issues that I’ve just mentioned.

But if I can return to the statement, that’s why I was a little surprised at your third paragraph, when you mentioned that the latest figures on the cost of not keeping fit to the health service in Wales was £51 million each year. I would have thought, given all those costs that we face in dealing with obesity, that the saving in financial terms would be far more than £51 million per annum. That appears to be a very low figure to me, I have to say, in terms of tackling this situation.

Specifically, on your commitment under the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013, can I ask how active travel is considered in the discussions that will take place on the rail franchise? And, specifically, when you mention that more children should be walking or cycling to school, of course, safety issues are given as one reason why people don’t actually choose to walk or cycle to school. So how are you actually getting to grips with parents’ doubts over safety as part of these active travel issues?

Finally, of course, particularly when you mention a workforce that, instead of travelling to work in their cars, is now going to do so either by cycling, running or walking, there are implications in terms of providing facilities to those people, such as toilets, showers and bike sheds to actually go hand in hand with those active travel routes. How are negotiations proceeding to ensure that the facilities are in place to meet the aspirations? Having said all of that, may I welcome the direction of travel, as they would say. Thank you.
