Now, I'm determined to ensure that we make all possible efforts across my portfolio to tackle health inequalities. That's why I've been clear with officials that we must redouble our efforts across health and social services, and across health services in Wales, to ensure that tackling health inequalities is an integral part of the post-COVID-19 recovery.

Now, as we consider how broad the factors are that impact on people's health—and many of those have been listed today—our work on health inequalities has to be broader than simply working on health and care services alone in order to have the necessary impact. And we must take action on health inequalities as a golden thread across all policies and strategies of Government, because they all have the potential to impact people's health—from our childcare offer and measures to improve air quality, to the quality of housing and the ability of people to heat their homes. But I do think that it's important, given the breadth of the factors that have an impact on people's health, that we must recognise that there are some areas beyond the competence of the Senedd, such as welfare. So, we do have to work together in an integrated way in order to ensure that we all contribute as much as possible to tackling health inequalities.

From the Government's perspective, our programme for government includes significant commitments across all our work areas that are planned to tackle health inequalities here in Wales. And in addition to that, during this Senedd term, we will be bringing forward regulations under the Public Health (Wales) Act 2017 to make it a requirement for some public bodies to undertake health impact assessments in particular circumstances, in order to ensure that we take all opportunities to tackle these health inequalities.

Today's motion calls on the Welsh Government to develop a specific strategy on health inequalities. I'm afraid that I don't think that that is the right approach. I am determined to see action happening now, and we already have the legislative framework and regulations, such as the well-being of future generations Act and the socioeconomic duty, which has been implemented, to give us the tools to do those things that we know need to be done. With the tobacco control strategy, our LGBTQ+ action plan and our race equality action plan, which are all in the pipeline, the steps to address health inequalities are being incorporated across our ambitious plans for this Senedd term. And in order to ensure that we continue to focus on making a difference and on delivery, I do ask Members to support our amendment to today's motion. Thank you very much, Llywydd.
