[BHF Cymru @BHFCymru]

After years of campaigning, we are delighted to see @SeneddCymru pass the Food Promotion and Placement Regulations.

Bethan Edwards, Policy & Public Affairs Manager at BHF Cymru, and Co-Chair of Obesity Alliance Cymru:
"The regulations passed by the Senedd yesterday represent a positive step forward to make the healthiest choice the easiest choice in Wales.

Around 50% of heart attacks and strokes are associated with high blood pressure, yet 26% of adults in Wales are living with obesity. We must ensure that, where possible, we prevent people from developing cardiovascular disease to help save more lives and support a sustainable NHS."

Tune in to @ITVWales today to hear how research gives @rugby_poet hope for a future where we can potentially “end cardiovascular disease.”

Thanks to @MarkIsherwoodMS for raising the issue of gender inequality in palliative and end of life care in yesterday's important debate on women’s healthcare.

A special morning at the Senedd celebrating 25 years of devolution. Some heart-warming words shared by party leaders and lovely to hear some Welsh from His Majesty The King 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Looking forward to continuing to play my part in Welsh democracy!

[Ellen Rose Jones @ellenjoneswales]

It was wonderful to be at @SeneddWales today celebrating its 25th year.

It was emotional casting my mind back on everything we have achieved with devolution in Wales, and to think of what lies on the road ahead for the people of Wales. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
