Thanks very much. Well, this is an area where my colleague, Lynne Neagle, takes a leading role in terms of public health. We have, of course, got a very clear programme of activity—'Healthy Weight: Healthy Wales'—where we try and encourage people to make sure that they participate, and they understand what healthy food is and how they use it and how they cook it. We've put a lot of support, of course, into our schools. So free school meals have now gone into primary schools; making sure that that is the right kind of food is really important.
So, there's a huge amount that people can do, and, of course, we also give a significant amount of money to Sport Wales to make sure that they are helping in our communities, especially with young people, to get that idea of exercise in as early as possible. And it's great now that we have a relationship with the Football Association of Wales to make sure that we can roll that out across the whole of Wales, making sure that people understand their responsibilities when it comes to health as well.
