Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Cabinet Secretary, the Welsh Conservatives are delighted to hear about the children’s health plan that you are proposing, because this is at the heart of this debate. The reason we brought this is because, whilst you highlighted a great number of initiatives within health, within education—all of which are welcome—it’s about driving a theme, it’s about weaving a golden thread through the various fabrics of the Government. We want to see—and I hate this word ‘overarching’, but it does actually encompass it—an overarching vision, because these children are our future of tomorrow and if we can make them healthy, resilient, content and robust internally today, then they will be able to cope so much better with what happens in their futures.

We talk about the great strains on the Welsh NHS in terms of financial constraints. We talk about the obesity crisis, the smoking epidemic and the air pollution problems. All of it has to be pulled together in a way that we can start today with the youngest of our young and move them forward and look at it in a holistic way. I’d like to work with you. We would like to work with you to ensure that this child health plan actually looks at it in that collaborative way. It’s rather like the National Assembly for Wales, which has sustainability and equality as driving principles that underpin this place. I would like to see child health and the well-being of children as the driving principle that underpins all Government policies. It’s something that over the years various committees—. I think the Deputy Presiding Officer and I were both members of the Children and Young People committee when we looked at budgeting and how budgets can impact on child health and child educational outcomes.

I thought that Rhun ap Iorwerth made some very, very valid points on the amendments. Tackling obesity: there’s an example of where, if we had a vision where we understand that obesity is a problem in terms of health, then we would actually be driving that change at school level. You’re right, Cabinet Secretary; it’s not just about elite sport or sport. Actually, it’s about fun. It’s about going outside and bopping around in a gym or in a playground, getting active and getting moving. If we have that overarching vision, that golden thread, then we’d be looking, right from cradle to grave, at how we make ourselves healthy. To be frank, for someone of my age it’s probably a done deal, but my goodness me, the two-year-olds, the three-year-olds, the four-year-olds, the seven-year-olds, my girls—12 and 14—all our children—
