Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 7:03 pm on 14 December 2021.
The Welsh Conservatives will be supporting these measures today, which we believe are proportionate and clearly beneficial for the physical health of the Welsh public. We agree with the provisions for domestic self-isolation to reflect the emerging situation and slow down community transmission of the virus. We will be supporting you today. However, we should always remember the unintended consequences of restrictions and lockdowns on the mental health and well-being of the residents of Wales. We saw that, during the last set of restrictions, the number of people seeking help got bigger and bigger. So, can the Minister outline what steps and consideration the Welsh Government are giving to the impact of any future restrictions on the health and well-being of the people of Wales? Diolch, Llywydd.
