I thank the Member for those comments and obviously share your clear disappointment that the Bill wasn’t passed at the previous stage in the Assembly, but I’m looking forward to working constructively with you as we move forward on it.

You mentioned several items that you are disappointed they aren’t addressed in the Bill, but of course, legislation is only one part of the way in which we address the challenges that you outlined. For example, not everything needs legislation—we’re doing many things in terms of tackling obesity, both at a Wales level and working constructively with the UK Government at EU level as well. Many of the levers that affect the food industry, for example, are held at UK Government level and at a European level, which is why we’ve been supportive of the UK Government’s efforts in terms of the sugary drinks industry levy. We’re keen to see some real progress made on that, and quite quickly as well.

Also, in Wales, we have the Healthy Child Wales programme, which I was pleased to launch in April of this year. This will provide practitioners and health visitors with the opportunity to have real, meaningful engagement with families on a consistent basis across Wales. At those meetings, things such as healthy living, diet, exercise, smoking, substance misuse—all of these different elements can be discussed in order to support the family to make healthy choices, both for the mother and the children, but for the family as a whole, as well.

We have the 10 Steps to a Healthy Weight programme as well, and that, again, seeks to give children the very best start in life in terms of their physical health. We already have other legislation, such as the active travel Act, which we’re implementing, to try and make active and healthy choices of walking and cycling much easier for people.

In schools, we have a Wales network of healthy schools and we have a great variety of school-based sports and physical activity programmes, which are being delivered in schools and also through Sport Wales.

You referred to substance misuse. Again, there’s nothing specific on this in the Bill in terms of alcohol and drug use, for example, but we’re working very hard to prevent and reduce harm through our action plan. You’ll recall that, only a month or two ago, the Assembly agreed our delivery plan for the next two years with regard to substance misuse, preventing harm, for example, through educating children and making sure that the advice and information we give keeps up to date with the modern trends, with the new psychoactive substances and so on, but also reducing harm for those people who already have substance misuse issues—for example, by introducing our take-home naloxone programme, which prevents overdose. I’m hearing great stories of how that is actually saving lives in our communities. Mohammad Asghar mentioned just last week the drug administration rooms and we’re actively looking at whether or not we would want to introduce those and taking advice from an expert group as well.

You and Angela Burns also mentioned leisure facilities and the fact that they’re not in the Bill, but again, there are things we can do outside of legislation—for example, the facilities blueprint, which is recently being produced, in order to make sure that we take a more strategic approach to the availability of sporting premises and leisure facilities in our communities. The sports facility grant we made available for local authorities to have a grant of up to £1 million in order to invest in improving or developing new facilities locally, as well. So, there is a great deal going on in the public health sphere beyond the legislation itself, although I know that there’ll be a keenness to address many of these issues as we move through the scrutiny stages.
