Our approach to improving renal services is set out in the Welsh renal clinical network's delivery plan for renal services in Wales. The plan provides a framework for health boards setting out the expectations of the NHS in Wales to commission and deliver high quality patient centred care.

We are committed to addressing child health inequalities in Wales. Our programme for government includes the healthy child Wales programme, which helps ensure that inequalities linked to poor child health are further reduced by delivering a universal set of health visitor contacts to all children in Wales, with additional support provided in response to identified need.

The Welsh Government will continue to prioritise strategic action to drive change as set out in 'A Healthier Wales'. This includes, for example: the transformation programme and transformation fund; research, innovation and improvement; and supporting health and social care to work more closely together through the integrated care fund.
