Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services – in the Senedd at 3:05 pm on 29 September 2021.
Thank you, Minister. One of the frustrations many parents have raised with regard to children and young people's mental health is accessing the right service, and that was highlighted in the Children's Commissioner for Wales report, 'No Wrong Door'. And it found that many children, young people and their families looking for support for a number of issues, including mental health, found the system incredibly complex. Some even fell through the gaps altogether, resulting in them not accessing any support at all. As the Children's Commissioner for Wales put it, many were knocking on the wrong door or were waiting for services in the wrong queue. Minister, what is the Welsh Government doing to support the 'no wrong door' approach to services for children and young people in Wales?
