Diolch, Deputy Minister. Body dysmorphia is a huge problem facing many people across the country. Many young people cite the problem of the consistent bombardment on social media of highly edited images and filtering, giving many young people a warped perception of what is reality. The online safety and harms Bill proposed by the UK Government will hopefully go some way to addressing these issues. I know that digital is not a devolved competency, but all the support services for those young people are. So, can you confirm what support the Welsh Government is giving to young people who are struggling with body dysmorphia, and whether the Welsh Government is supporting the online safety and harms Bill that is progressing through the UK Parliament?
