2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Children and Young People's Mental Health (29 Sep 2021)

Lynne Neagle: Can I thank Joyce Watson for that supplementary? This is absolutely a top priority for me, and we absolutely need to end the situation where children and young people are faced with the wrong door. That's why I'm working closely across Government, especially with the Deputy Minister for Social Services, on the implementation of our new nurturing, empowerment, safe and trusted framework, which...

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Children and Young People's Mental Health (29 Sep 2021)

Lynne Neagle: We are taking a whole-system approach to improve and support the mental health and well-being of children and young people. This includes actions across health, social care, education and youth work, with a focus on prevention and earlier intervention, whilst also ensuring specialist services are available when needed. 

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (29 Sep 2021)

Lynne Neagle: Thank you. What you ask is a very complex question, because, as I said when we discussed this earlier in the week, these things are all about balance of harms, aren't they? And as much as it harms children not to be in school, it also harms children if COVID rates are really high and lots of family members get affected. So, all these things are about weighing up a balance of harms. We have...

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (29 Sep 2021)

Lynne Neagle: Absolutely, I certainly recognise the scale of the challenge that we face. It's the use of the term 'epidemic' that I take issue with, really, in this context. Our approach in Wales is very much based on the recognition that we need to promote resilience, we need to intervene early, and all our reforms are based on changing that whole system, to have that early intervention and preventative...

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (29 Sep 2021)

Lynne Neagle: Thank you for that question and thank you for your good wishes. Likewise, I'm very keen to work across parties to improve the mental health of everyone in Wales.  I do take issue with what you've said about us facing a mental health epidemic. I think we need to be very careful about the language that we use and that that kind of language can lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy. The evidence...

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Perinatal Mental Health Support (29 Sep 2021)

Lynne Neagle: Thank you for that question, Laura, and I'd like to say that I'm a huge fan of health visitors. I had amazing support off my health visitor after I had my first child and I entirely recognise what you've said about the life-saving role that they can play and also the vital safeguarding role that they play. The training that I referred to for the perinatal period would absolutely apply to...

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Perinatal Mental Health Support (29 Sep 2021)

Lynne Neagle: Can I thank Buffy Williams for that question? I entirely recognise the issues that you highlight and also the impact that the pandemic has had on families' experiences of having babies. This is a priority area for us; it's a priority area in our mental health delivery plan. We've now got perinatal mental health services in every part of Wales and we've invested £3 million a year recurrently...

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Perinatal Mental Health Support (29 Sep 2021)

Lynne Neagle: Thank you. The Welsh Government is committed to improving perinatal mental health services, which is a priority area for action within the refreshed 'Together for Mental Health' delivery plan 2019-22. We also continue to invest in specialist perinatal mental health services across Wales.

QNR: Questions to the Deputy Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing (29 Sep 2021)

Lynne Neagle: I am working with Ministers to ensure that the impact of policies and programmes on mental health can be improved across policy areas, including climate change. We are strengthening support for lower-level mental health issues, which can be accessed online or over the phone and do not need a referral.

QNR: Questions to the Deputy Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing (29 Sep 2021)

Lynne Neagle: We owe our veterans a debt of gratitude and a duty of care.  We have shown our ongoing commitment to the Veterans’ NHS Wales mental health service by committing an additional £235,000 annually from 2021-22. This ensures a recurrent budget of £920,000 per annum, an increase of 35 per cent on previous funding.

9. Short Debate: We are what we eat: Focusing on the nutrient density of food in order to improve public health (22 Sep 2021)

Lynne Neagle: There is a wealth of evidence that consistently shows that populations that have a high intake of fruit and vegetables have a lower incidence of heart disease and some cancers. It is the mixture of components in fruit and vegetables that is protective rather than one individual component. In addition to their valuable nutrient content, fruit and vegetables are a good source of fibre. Eating...

9. Short Debate: We are what we eat: Focusing on the nutrient density of food in order to improve public health (22 Sep 2021)

Lynne Neagle: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I'd like to thank Jenny Rathbone for introducing such an important topic for a short debate and also to thank Cefin Campbell for his contribution. How and what we eat has an enormous impact on our health and well-being. In annual estimates of how many years of healthy life are lost to avoidable illness, disability and death, four out of the top five risk...

12. Short Debate: Support for women who suffer postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder (14 Jul 2021)

Lynne Neagle: Members can be assured that I will be asking for regular updates about the capacity for delivering this support, and it must be available in a timely and sustainable manner. We know that the pandemic has made it more difficult to provide the vital named midwifery and health visitor support following birth. I will be asking for updates for Members on how that is now working on the ground,...

12. Short Debate: Support for women who suffer postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder (14 Jul 2021)

Lynne Neagle: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I'd like to start by thanking Buffy Williams for bringing forward today's debate, and thanking all the Members who have contributed. It is a subject close to my heart. Indeed, one of the last things I did in this Chamber in the previous Senedd was to help bring forward a debate on perinatal mental health. It is a subject that absolutely belongs at the top...

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Dementia Services ( 7 Jul 2021)

Lynne Neagle: Thank you very much, Luke, for that supplementary. And you've raised a very important issue, because we too often talk about dementia as an all-encompassing condition, whereas, as you've correctly highlighted, it does cover a range of different conditions. It is absolutely vital that we ensure that people have an accurate diagnosis, and also that that accurate diagnosis is properly recorded....

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Dementia Services ( 7 Jul 2021)

Lynne Neagle: Thank you, Luke. Delivering the actions set out in our dementia action plan 2018 to 2022 continues to be a priority for the Welsh Government. We continue to work with regional partnership boards and stakeholders to do this, and to identify areas where further progress is needed.

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Women's Mental Health ( 9 Jun 2021)

Lynne Neagle: Thank you, Janet, for that question. I would just to like to assure you that GPs are continuing, as they have done throughout the pandemic, to deliver their services, including their services under the mental health measure. As you'll understand, there have had to be changes to service delivery because of the pandemic, but people who need to be seen face to face are having face-to-face...

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Women's Mental Health ( 9 Jun 2021)

Lynne Neagle: Can I thank Jane Dodds for that important question and for her congratulations? We have, of course, all been spending more time at home in the past year, and I am acutely aware that for too many people home is not a refuge. That's why the Welsh Government has invested significant funds in this area. The sector has received over £4 million of additional funding to deal with the impact of...

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Women's Mental Health ( 9 Jun 2021)

Lynne Neagle: Thank you very much for that question, Jane. In October 2020, we reissued the 'Together for Mental Health' delivery plan 2019-22, which has been strengthened in key areas as a result of the pandemic impact. We understand that women have been impacted by COVID and its socioeconomic impact. Importantly, while the plan retains a key focus in areas such as improving perinatal mental health...

2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services: Social Prescribing ( 9 Jun 2021)

Lynne Neagle: Thank you for that question. Clearly, a key role of the task and finish group will be to draw on the good practice that is taking place in some parts of Wales and ensure that that good practice is rolled out across Wales. There is input from the health boards into the task and finish group, and I'm really keen that we take forward the need for a national framework so that people in Wales can...
