Resumen

This Act strengthens existing governance arrangements for improving the well-being of Wales in order to ensure that the needs of the present are met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (the sustainable development principle). It identifies well-being goals which specified public authorities are to seek to achieve in order to improve the well-being of Wales both now and in the future. It sets out how those authorities are to show that they are working towards the well-being goals. It also, through the introduction of national indicators, ensures that the difference being made to the well-being of Wales will be evaluated and measured. The Act establishes a Future Generations Commissioner for Wales to be an advocate for future generations who will advise and support specified public authorities in carrying out their duties under the Act. It also puts Local Service Boards (to be known as Public Services Boards) and well-being plans on a statutory basis and, in doing so, simplifies current requirements as regards integrated community planning.
