Part of 2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children – in the Senedd at 2:51 pm on 14 December 2016.
Yes, I think Jonathan Shepherd has done a remarkable job. Indeed, from his work on this, he now features in my advisory group on domestic violence services. So, he’s bringing his intelligence around this to this programme too. The requirements through the NHS and emergency services departments is the challenge we face at the moment, about integrating it across the system. But it is something I know the health Minister is looking at very carefully to make sure we push this agenda out. It is a great prevent model, because we know if we can recognise where there are issues in communities through alcohol misuse and violence, then we can prevent that if we have some hard-line, early interventions. So, I’m grateful for the Member’s question today. I will ask the Cabinet Secretary for health to update you on how the implementation is going through the NHS system.
