Thank you for the statement. I'd like to focus on two specific issues. I know that you would agree that it's crucial that we use a preventative approach in dealing with mental health issues, and whilst, of course, we do need to respond to problems as they arise, it's also important to take action to prevent those problems from arising in the first instance.

So, we do need to tackle one of the fundamental causes of mental health problems, and poverty is one of those. It is important that we bear in mind that disadvantaged children and young people are more likely to suffer mental health problems and that tackling poverty, through a number of different ways, is an effective way of preventing mental health problems before they emerge. Research shows that children who go hungry are far more likely to suffer anxiety and stress at a serious level. And there's also a proven link between poverty and hunger in early life and depression and suicide in later life. And in addition to this, if we are to see healthy brain growth in children, we must provide specific nutritional needs for them. And this includes the provision of zinc, vitamin D, iron, selenium, protein, iodine and other key nutrients. As you will know, Plaid Cymru is in favour of expanding free school meals to 70,000 children, and ultimately to all children, in order to ensure the children eat a healthy meal at least once a day. So, my question is this: shouldn't free school meals be at the very heart of a mental health and well-being strategy for education settings for any Government because of all of the preventative benefits that they bring?

And the second area I want to look at is the post-16 sector. Mental health support is crucial in schools, but it's also crucial that there is appropriate provision in all post-16 settings too, and one area that is at risk of being ignored is work-based learning and the well-being of apprentices. Apprentices, as well as the additional stress of completing a qualification after completing their framework, also have that additional stress of future employment, and during COVID that anxiety, I'm sure, has been increased, with 1,690 apprentices placed on full furlough from the beginning of the year, adding to the pressure on them of course. So, my final question, and my second question is: is there sufficient support available for this specific group of learners?
