First Minister, we lose an average of 2.5 days per employee to mental health-related absence each year. It is also estimated that presenteeism, where mental health issues lessen work performance, costs the UK around £15 billion a year. It has been estimated that optimal treatment for mental health disorders will only reduce the impact of mental health illness by 28 per cent. So, we have to focus on prevention.

First Minister, what can the Welsh Government do to encourage more businesses to train their staff in mental health first aid in the same way that they employ first aiders to treat physical ailments?
