Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 4:40 pm on 12 June 2019.
Another thing that's important to note, I think, is that we have made progress in implementing in partnership with other bodies in order to focus on the issue of health, which is so centrally important to us as a nation, as has been stated in the debate. We have done that by bringing the organisations working on this together, namely the health promotion body, Sport Wales, as well as NRW, who emphasise the environmental side of things and the opportunities of making use of nature and our environment as an area where people can have experiences of being physically active.
But another thing that we have done with Sport Wales is to focus specifically on tackling the issue of the participation of women and girls in sport. The remit of Sport Wales now includes a particular focus on encouraging women and girls to participate in physical activity. There is a particular programme where prominent athletes visit schools in order to ensure that a positive image of successful women in athletics is made public in our schools. There is a particular programme, namely the Young Ambassadors programme, which has been developed, and this is a means of highlighting those successful examples that are role models for our young people.
