Question
How is the Minister working with the Minister for Health and Social Services to promote the use of sport in improving long-term health outcomes in Wales?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, and Chief Whip
We are working closely together.
Our Healthy Weight: Healthy Wales strategy, which sets out our long-term aims to reduce levels of obesity, highlights the importance of access to sport and daily physical activity opportunities.
Our Healthy Weight Healthy Wales Delivery Plan for 2022 to 2024 commits us to focus on the health benefits of regular physical activity within the school day. We are achieving this, in-part, by implementing a Daily Active Offer for schools.
We also support the National Exercise Referral Scheme. The scheme helps referred individuals reduce their risk of long-term ill health through becoming more physically active.
