Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:59 pm on 17 January 2017.
Of course, it’s not just households; it’s public services as well where this needs some attention. The Waste and Resources Action Programme, WRAP, which your Government funds, is now working with Abertawe Bro Morgannwg university health board to identify how to reduce food waste in hospitals. That’s one thing. But last week, ABMU confirmed that admissions to them from malnutrition were at their highest for five years. So, WRAP and ABMU can work together with other parties to identify and share good ideas—in fact, I’m hosting one of those Love Food Hate Waste advice sessions in Bridgend this Thursday; you may want to come—but do you think that food waste is just part of a bigger issue for Government and society, about nutrition and attitudes to food, which we need to take more seriously, rather than fragmented responses to things like obesity, packaging, nursing care, animal health, carbon footprint, and so on?
