Can I thank Rhun ap Iorwerth for his comments, and particularly the recognition of the positive work that's been undertaken through the strategy? I absolutely agree that we must get this right, and, as you've acknowledged, we have hugely increased investment. You alluded to the continuing issues with children and young people's mental health, but I think that we have to acknowledge that the COVID pandemic has had a huge impact on everybody's mental health, and particularly children and young people.

You talked about the need to prioritise children and young people's mental health. That's why I've come into this job, Rhun; I've come into this job because I care so passionately about that, having led the work in the committee, and my dedication is to delivering on that agenda. And we are making progress. You referred to prevention. We are spending money on prevention through what is a cross-Government strategy that deals with housing, employment, debt advice, money advice—all those issues. So, we absolutely recognise the importance of prevention, and that is supported by the funding that we are investing in those programmes. 

We are seeing reforms of children and young people's mental health services. I referred in the statement to the single points of access. They have made a difference, because that means that children aren't batted about the system, back and forth then. They can be put in touch with the right people; it's our 'no wrong door' approach in action. And as I said to the previous Member, lots of these young people won't need specialist CAMHS. They're not mentally ill; they are experiencing distress because of what's been going on in their lives, and there is more appropriate help available to them. What we have to do is make sure that they can get that help, and we are investing I think it's £12 million extra this year in the whole-school approach for mental health. Our NEST framework is underpinned by additional funding, and we have, as you know, the co-operation agreement with Plaid Cymru to pilot the sanctuary provision for young people, although we very much hope that young people won't need to be in crisis; we want to stop that escalation earlier on.

Thank you for your comments regarding Betsi Cadwaladr. I've outlined already the steps that are being taken in Government. As I say, I meet with Betsi quarterly to go through the targeted intervention framework in detail. That's in addition to all the other meetings that are held to monitor quality and performance in Betsi, and the targeted intervention meetings. We have got this review now that is going to look across the range of recommendations that have been made in relation to Betsi in recent years. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that the health Minister approved the outline business case for the new mental health provision at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd, which is really important. Having the right capital really matters, and that's a message that has been given to me many, many times when I've talked to the staff in Betsi. So, that will, I think, make a really big difference.

I'm very happy, Rhun, to give you the assurance around eating disorder services. I've been very clear that those services are a priority for me. I've been going around visiting the different eating disorder teams, and had a very positive visit to the one in Betsi, where they're doing really brilliant work preventing problems escalating for service users. We've underpinned our commitment to eating disorder services with an additional £2.5 million every year from this year, and I've been really clear with all health boards that they're expected to meet the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidance on eating disorders, including the four-week waiting time. But we're also focusing on early intervention as well, because that's absolutely key, and our work in schools. So, I'm very happy to give you that assurance, and I will be going to see the other eating disorder teams. I've got to say that, actually, the experience of visiting them has been incredibly positive. They're incredibly committed people who are doing really wonderful work. I think we need to do more to talk up the really good work that goes on in our mental health services in the NHS.
