Building a Healthier Wales
The Building a Healthier Wales Co-ordination Group is a non-statutory coalition of strategic leaders representing organisations and strategic perspectives from public, private and third sectors with a diversity of representation across Wales. Members include representatives from Local Government, Health Boards, Public Health Wales, Welsh Local Government Association, Natural Resources Wales, Welsh Government, Social Care Wales, Sport Wales, the police, the CBI, housing and voluntary sector.
The group, established in 2019, aims to maximise the impact of the collective agencies that make up its membership, in order to improve health and well-being and reduce inequalities.
It does this by:
- Creating space for strategic leaders to come together at an all-Wales level
- Focusing on prevention, equity and system drivers in a health in all policies approach
- Horizon scanning, identifying common problems and solutions
- Sharing intelligence, evidence and learning between members
- Supporting inter-sectoral collaboration, identifying co-benefits from collaborative action
- Providing coordinated advice to Welsh Government on potential impacts of policy on health and health inequalities
- Providing coordinated intelligence and advice to local and regional partnerships, including Public Services Boards
