Delivering value for money is embedded into Welsh Government activity. Spending is in line with best practice principles for managing public resources, which ensure value for money is achieved. Plans and programmes are also subject to Welsh Government evaluation and audit arrangements.
Resources within both portfolios - which cover a range of programmes and activities - are managed flexibly and effectively, and have produced sustainable results over time, contributing to associated recent record levels of investment, annual increases in international visits to Wales since 2012, and an internationally recognised Wales for Africa programme.

Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol (Mark Drakeford):
The Welsh Government recognises the importance of breastfeeding and is committed to increasing breastfeeding rates across Wales, but in particular in disadvantaged areas where rates are lowest.
Public Health Wales (PHW) have responsibility for delivering the National Breastfeeding Programme - a programme of activities which incorporates work within the NHS, communities, and the voluntary sector.
Following the Transforming Health Improvement in Wales Review in 2013, recommendations were made that there were likely to be more effective approaches to achieving increased breastfeeding rates.
The review considered the future direction for health improvement, and the need for this area of work to be revised to reflect current evidence and priorities. It highlighted the need for breastfeeding to be embedded as part of a systems-based approach to achieve the biggest impact. As part of this work, breastfeeding will be promoted and normalised in all PHW programmes of work, and staffing arrangements are being changed to reflect this. Examples of this include the NHS Settings Programme, where health boards will continue to be supported to achieve and maintain UNICEF's UK Baby Friendly accreditation, and a Breastfeeding Report Card is being developed to measure success, share good practice and identify areas requiring additional support. Breast feeding will also be embedded in the Educational Settings Programme, Early Years Work Programme, Health at Work Programme, Healthy and Well Communities, Nutrition and Obesity Programme, Mental Wellbeing, and Research and Development.
