Question
Will the Cabinet Minister provide an update on the delivery and costings of the children's health plan?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Health and Care (Mabon ap Gwynfor)
Improving outcomes for babies, children and young people is a key priority for the Welsh Government. We are exploring options to strengthen the national focus on children's health through the development of a Children's Health Plan for Wales.
The proposed plan will help ensure a clear and coordinated approach across health services, with a focus on improving outcomes, reducing inequalities and supporting children and young people to have the best possible start in life.
Work is underway to consider the scope, priorities and delivery arrangements for the plan. Any resource implications and associated costs will be assessed as part of that development process and considered through normal Welsh Government budget-setting arrangements.
