Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Public Health Wales
You mentioned some of the future trends that were coming along possibly, in terms of climate change, demographic changes, and the changing nature of work mostly down to the pandemic. Do you have any further information on that, on how likely it is to have a…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Public Health Wales

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Professor Carolyn Wallace, Wales School for Social Prescribing Research (WSSPR)

Yes, I was actually paying attention, but it was to highlight the actual need for the review into CAMHS services, which has been long delayed and is well overdue. So, Minister, I'd really welcome some urgency on that CAMHS review, and be keen to hear a…
