I do agree with the point that you made, Minister, that a whole-Government approach really needs to be looked at in terms of this, again connecting with what Heledd was saying about the well-being of future generations context to all of this.

A number of Members had made the point about how stubborn the barriers are that we're looking at, whether it's in terms of geography or in terms of the interconnected ways in which different inequalities will affect people's lives. Some of the stories we as a committee heard were sobering. We were reminded that the cost-of-living crisis doesn't just impoverish us, it can imperil us as well, both through making our lives less fulfilling and also in a more acute and worrying way. When budgets are tight, it can make us confront terrible choices. There are two really stark examples that stood out for me from our evidence that I'd to raise in closing.

Firstly, Sport Wales remarked that when food prices go up, some children will, anecdotally, not only be fed less, but this increase in food prices can mean that children do less exercise. Some families in desperation will have to stop their children from going to football club after school, from going to swimming, from going to hockey, not just because of how much the lessons cost, but because exercising makes us more hungry. They'll need more food that isn't there to feel full after practice. Some parents have to take those opportunities away from their children; they have to deprive them so that they aren't tormented by having empty bellies. That's a dreadful choice to have to confront.

Another difficult choice that arises from sport being more unaffordable relates in a very direct way to safety. This, again, came out of Sport Wales's evidence—the fact that more women will find it difficult to afford gym membership. We're going into the winter and it's dark before and after a lot of people's times of work, so women who can't afford to go to the well-lit gyms with treadmills will either not feel able to do that exercise or they'll have to go on pavements instead. The Chamber won't need me to remind you about how unsafe countless women feel, running after dark.

This crisis is making people confront these terrible choices, Dirprwy Lywydd, and they're not always obvious. The different parts of our lives interconnect, and more investment in sport in disadvantaged areas will help countless people's lives in so many ways.
