Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:01 pm on 12 December 2017.
First Minister, if we are to meet the challenges of achieving a more preventative and proactive approach to better health in Wales, we do need a more physically active population. That is an important part of making that necessary change. In Newport, the Aneurin Bevan health board public health department, together with Newport Live, Newport City Council, Natural Resources Wales, local sports groups and many others, have been working together for some time to try and achieve a more physically active local population so that we do get that better health. In addition to what you've outlined in your initial answer, First Minister, I know locally—and I'm sure it applies to many other such initiatives across Wales—that there is great interest in what further action, what further support, Welsh Government might be able to provide to support those initiatives, to make that fundamental change to a more preventative and proactive approach to health in Wales.
