I, too, welcome the CMO’s report and its emphasis on creating a health service, rather than an illness service, which is something we’ve spoken about for quite a long time, and also its emphasis on socioeconomic status, which again is something that’s been debated and discussed for quite some time, but perhaps with a new emphasis in this particular report. It also emphasises the importance of lifestyles to differences in life expectancy and healthy life expectancy, and I think there are a number of things that Welsh Government can do to help address those issues and their socioeconomic bases. For example, there’s a lot that can be done to encourage healthy eating. We could have a traffic-lights system of food labelling, for example, I think, to inform people far more clearly as to what are the healthy foods and what are not. We could have a sugar tax, or a fat tax, for example. Obviously, there are issues about what’s devolved and what’s not devolved, and some of it, no doubt, will be a matter of trying to pressurise UK Government, but some of it may be looking to further devolution and, indeed, what we might be able to do within current powers.

I think it’s very, very important, as we often talk about, Llywydd, that we instil good attitudes and behaviours in our young people as early as possible. I very much agree with the emphasis on the first 1,000 days, and I know there’s a building amount of evidence as to the importance of those early years. We’ve got healthy school networks, of course, and I think there’s some very good practice there. We have new opportunities, I think, to drive improvements to physical literacy, following Tanni Grey’s report, and around the curriculum review, and I very much hope that we take those opportunities.

I would like to say a little bit about what we’re doing locally in Newport, Llywydd, which I have mentioned more than once before. I think we’re making progress in pulling together some key players in public health, from the health board, Aneurin Bevan; Newport Live, the providers of leisure services; the sports clubs; Newport City Homes, and other housing associations; Natural Resources Wales—a host of players have been meeting locally for quite some time to discuss how we get a more physically active population and how we get healthier behaviours more generally. We have made progress. Organisations have committed to a day a month of staff time to pursue this agenda. They’re looking at actions they can commit to and how they can do one more thing. They’re looking at examples from across Wales and locally in terms of how you get change on a wider scale, rather than something that’s very localised. So, I do believe that we are trying to do something important locally in terms of the issues highlighted in the CMO’s report, and I hope as well that other areas in Wales look at how we can build the partnerships, bring key players together and have new collaboration. So, I do hope, Llywydd, that Welsh Government is looking carefully at what’s happening across Wales and also looking carefully at how it might support these initiatives, perhaps through some pilot schemes, for example, which could support, build and strengthen the work that’s taking place. I hope that the Minister can address that in his closing remarks. Diolch yn fawr.
