As the Senedd has not agreed the motion without amendment and has not agreed the amendment tabled to the motion, the motion is therefore not agreed.

I now call for a vote on the motion as amended.

(Translated)

Motion NDM8005 as amended:

To propose that Senedd:

1. Notes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of children and young people.

2. Regrets that child and adolescent mental health waiting times continue to be poor, with less than one in two under 18s receiving a local primary mental health support services assessment within 28 days of referral.

3. Notes the planned pilot project to establish community-based facilities, for young people to easily access mental health and wellbeing support, in order to offer early intervention and avoid escalation, and urges the rollout of early intervention facilities to the whole of Wales.

4. Expresses its concern about the number of section 136 detentions of children and young people under the age of 18.

5. Calls on the Welsh Government to:

a) conduct an urgent review into the viability of child and adolescent mental health services;

b) ensure a 24 hour crisis service is available for children and young people across Wales; and

c) consider the feasibility of opening an eating disorders unit in Wales.
