Part of 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Services – in the Senedd at 1:39 pm on 14 March 2018.
Thank you. I'm really grateful to you for that answer, and I'm quite sure that NHS staff across Wales will be as well.
I'd like to address my second two questions to the issue of mental health. I was delighted the Welsh Government supported the Welsh Conservatives' debate on mental health of a few weeks ago. You did make a couple of comments during that debate that I would just like to pick up on. I was saying that spotting signs of mental ill health is incredibly important, both in the workplace and in schools—wherever it might be—and that all of us have a role to play in actually being able to get alongside somebody to spot the fact that they may be going into some kind of crisis, and then for there to be a direction of travel for us to be able to access support services for that individual. And you said that you felt there were some plans afoot on that. I just wondered if you could perhaps tells us a little bit more now about what the Government's doing to ensure that the tools and resources are available to all of us to help us understand what mental health is, what the signs are and where we might go in order to help another person.
