Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:36 pm on 27 February 2018.
We have a very strong track record in Wales of taking strong public health action where there is evidence that it will improve or protect population health. The public health Act, the active travel Act, and the current minimum unit pricing Bill are very good cases in point. We'll be continuing to prioritise such interventions where there is merit and where taking action is within the powers at our disposal. But, for example, in areas such as broadcasting, we don't have all of the powers we need, but we will be looking at ways of maximising our powers and our influence in those areas where it isn't in our direct control. And we want a strategy to create a very clear vision for Wales, and this will mean working with the UK Government to ensure that we can drive forward changes required to tackle, for example, growing obesity levels in children.
