I want to start by thanking Jack for bringing forth this short debate on this very vital area and for bringing this debate to us today. According to the mental health charity Mind, more than one in five people have said that they have called in sick to avoid work, when asked how workplace stress had affected them. Though the overwhelming majority of managers and employers will, I'm sure, want and wish to support their employees' well-being, it can all too often be more than a real challenge for many people to discuss their mental health with their line manager, for obvious reasons.

This is why it is absolutely important that workplaces do have a mental health first aider—and I would agree completely with the sentiment that Jack has just stated—able to provide well-being support, someone who is there for us when we are not okay. We can all in this Chamber play a role in providing pastoral support to our colleagues, whatever organisation we work in. I know that on our corridor in Tŷ Hywel Jack does practice what he preaches. He often pops his head around the door, sometimes with a chocolate bar, if I'm allowed to state that. It's a very unique brand of well-being support, but I do recommend it.

As we continue, though, to experience—on a more serious point—ongoing austerity, rising prices, stagnant wages, collapsing welfare nets, the ongoing effect and impact of welfare reform, the vast majority of welfare claimants being in work, and the ongoing concerns around Brexit, I am very glad to hear the argument today that it is okay not to be okay. We do need to act now to break the stigma around mental health in the workplace. I'm glad to hear of some very real examples in Wales that our Welsh Government is leading the way on and I do believe that real progress is under way.

I welcome the priority given to mental health within the Welsh Government's economic contract. This is a critical plank of our national vision, and I very much welcome it also, but, in this age of the smartphone, it is often very easy to feel like we're never too far away from work e-mails and work stress. So, it is vital that, wherever our place of work, we all have the support we need and a mentally healthy workplace environment. Diolch.
