Health and social care

Runners

The Welsh Assembly Government cares about the health and well being of everyone living in Wales.

This is about much more than treating disease, it is about addressing the social, economic and environmental influences that affect health and well being. Health Challenge Wales is an opportunity for us all to do as much as we can to improve health.

You can access the latest health news and publications, including Designed for Life, the 10-year strategy which aims to create a world class health service in Wales by 2015.

The Wales Office of Research and Development for Health and Social Care (WORD) develops policy on research and development (R&D), commissions and funds R&D activity and contract manages projects and initiatives to reflect the health and social care priorities of the Welsh Assembly Government.
