Motion NDM6175 as amended:

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

Notes the Chief Medical Officer for Wales's Annual Report for 2015-16 ‘Rebalancing healthcare—working in partnership to reduce social inequity’.

Believes that the prevalence of ill-health in poorer communities, identified by the report, is caused by wider environmental, social and economic conditions and cannot be blamed solely on poor choices made by individuals, and that public health policies should reflect the responsibility of government to tackle this rather than merely focus on lecturing people.
