Health and Social Care Committee
Public Health (Wales) Bill
The National Assembly for Wales’s Health and Social Care Committee is looking into the main points of the Public Health (Wales) Bill.
The Public Health (Wales) Bill sets out proposals for legislation that aim to have a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of people living in Wales. It covers a range of public health issues, including: action to reduce the harm to people’ health caused by smoking; banning the use of e-cigarettes in enclosed places; and introducing an age restriction on intimate body piercings.
The National Assembly for Wales’ Health and Social Care Committee is a group of ten Assembly Members from across Wales who represent the four political parties who make up the Assembly. The Committee’s job is to hold the Welsh Government to account on health and social care within Wales, including finance, administration, policy and legislation.
As part of our work, we want to know what you think about the proposed changes, and if you think there are other areas of public health that should be included in the Bill. Giving us your views will help us make sure we are listening and focusing on improving the health of people in Wales.
You can choose to answer as many of the questions as you wish. Statistical data will only represent the views of those who respond, and not the public as a whole.
Your response will be used only for this consultation. We will consider all of the written responses we receive, and we will ask for the views of key organisations and Welsh Government. We will then write and publish a report which makes recommendations to the Welsh Government about the new law. You will be able to find the report on the Committee’s website:

Personal information will be processed in line with the principles of the Data Protection Act 1998. Your response will be stored on Assembly ICT equipment and in Survey Monkey, and deleted at the end of the consultation, and any paper copies destroyed.
