Diolch, Lywydd. Cabinet Secretary, between 2009 and 2014, NHS expenditure on mental health ranged from 11.4 per cent to 11.9 per cent of the total NHS spend. Now, given that mental health budget lines are a catch-all for everything from child and adolescent mental health services to dementia, psychotic illnesses, perinatal services, depression and anxiety, do you believe that 12 per cent of the entire NHS budget being spent on mental health, whilst 88 per cent is being spent on physical health, is a correct balance?
