Health regeneration

• Health has a value in and of itself.
• Health also has a significant impact on economic
  productivity.
• People in poor health are less likely to work
  and, when in work, are less productive.
• ...a healthy population including healthy older
  people can contribute very substantially to the
  economy.

25
Health Challenge Wales

• Health Challenge Wales is a call to everyone -
  all people and organisations - to do as much as
  they can to improve health.
• Sharing responsibility for health
• Raising visibility of the issues
