QNR – in the Senedd on 7 December 2016.
I am consulting those affected, including people with haemophilia, in relation to the payments being offered. I updated the cross-party group on haemophilia and contaminated blood at its recent meeting and will issue a written statement in the new year once the outcome of this consultation is known.
The Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 sets out our commitment to ensuring the provision of services, care and support for all people, including disabled people. We are also working with our learning disability advisory group to develop a learning disability strategic action plan.
This Government has protected investment in the health service and the commitments in ‘Taking Wales Forward’ will build on the strong platform we put in place over the last Assembly term. Our integrated health system positions health boards as responsible to provide high-quality services when people need them.
I expect the local health board to ensure that all appropriate mental health services are provided for the people of Monmouthshire, in line with our 10-year mental health strategy ‘Together for Mental Health’.
We are committed to improving children’s health in Wales through our Healthy Child Wales programme, which is included in ‘Taking Wales Forward’. The programme includes a range of preventative and early intervention measures to help parents, children and young people make healthy lifestyle choices in their formative years.
