Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for Mental Health, Wellbeing and Welsh Language – in the Senedd at 2:48 pm on 2 December 2020.
Thanks very much. Of course, we are intensely aware of the mental health situation and we've put some significant support in, in particular to support employees. But you're absolutely right that we need to think about the business owners who've put money on the line, who've put their livelihoods on the line and are seeing those being threatened with the coronavirus.
We have discussed this in relation to the tourism industry and, as a consequence of that, I did discuss this with the economy Minister to see if we could put something specific in place. But, as you say, part of the problem here—and I'm afraid that, very often, it's men who don't come forward—is that we need to make sure that they're aware of the services that are available from the Welsh Government in these spaces. So, I will continue my discussions with the economy Minister to see how we can get this information out. But you'll be aware that a leaflet was sent recently to every household in Wales and there was some information in that leaflet on the support that was available in relation to mental health from the Welsh Government.
