The Welsh Government recognises the importance of strengthening Welsh language provision in health and social care and we are strongly committed to making a difference to the experience of Welsh speakers through our *More than just words* plan.


To help us achieve our ambitions I have established a *More than just words* Advisory Board which will monitor and scrutinise progress against the *More than just words* plan. Following a process of fair and open competition I am pleased to announce the following appointments to the new board for the next 5 years.
