Our joint response with the UK Health Forum and Institute of Healthcare Management to the recent Welsh White Paper 'Listening to you: Your health matters'.

Summary

• We support and are strongly encouraged by Wales’ emphasis on Health in All Policies and the forthcoming Future Generations Bill
• We support the proposal to create a tobacco retailers’ register
• We acknowledge electronic cigarettes as a new and evolving public health issue
• Current voluntary smoking bans for hospital grounds, school grounds and children’s playgrounds are not sufficient, legislation should be considered
• We strongly support the introduction of a minimum unit price for alcohol at the suggested level of 50p/unit.
