Our Healthy Future - technical working paper

Our Healthy Future renews the Welsh Assembly Government’s commitment to improve the quality and length of life and to ensure that everyone in Wales has a fair chance to lead a healthy life. It sets a long-term vision in which:

• Children and young people are given a good start in life that supports their long-term health and wellbeing. 
• Everyone aspires to, and is supported to achieve, a healthy and fulfilling working life.  
• Older people have the knowledge, skills or support to make informed choices about living independent and fulfilled lives.
• The health of individuals experiencing greatest disadvantage is improving to the levels found among the more advantaged.    
• Healthy sustainable communities – places where people want to live, work, play and flourish  - are sought for all.   
• Health and social services place greater emphasis on prevention and early intervention.
• Health and wellbeing is a shared goal for all.
• Our public health policies and interventions are based on good evidence and monitored.
