Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:00 pm on 17 January 2017.
Part of the problem, of course, is that cheap food is not healthy food. For so many people, they’ve seen a squeeze on their income since the crash of 2008 and they will quite often say, ‘Well, I’d love to eat healthier food, but the reality is I can’t afford to.’ The Member’s right, it’s not just about targeting health issues, it’s about ensuring that people have the skills they need to get into the jobs they need to increase their incomes so they can eat healthier in the way that they would want to. And that’s precisely the way that this Government operates, looking at holistic solutions to issues rather than doing it via a compartmentalised formula.
