I'm very grateful for that question, and I do apologise that I was not here earlier. We are working with Sport Wales as our main agency to ensure that priority is given, both for areas of deprivation and also for age groups where there is a lack of engagement with physical activity. The issue of lack of engagement in physical activity applies throughout the age cycle, regrettably. Some 32 per cent of people in Wales are inactive, and what we are trying to do is work through, with the sports council, and indeed with the Cabinet Secretary for Education, to ensure that the national curriculum and the new development in the curriculum lead to a greater level of physical activity throughout life.
