The possibility of using the All-Wales Injuries Surveillance System to set and monitor a target for the incidence of serious injuries resulting from accidents will be kept under regular review.

- Increase the proportion of women who give up smoking during their pregnancy to at least 33%.
The target for smoking in pregnancy will be taken forward as a pilot exercise with the Health Authority Co-ordinating Group, where agreement on a precise definition, and on data sources, will be sought.
