Statement by the Deputy Minister for Mental Health and Well-being: Launch of 111 press 2 for urgent mental health

Thank you, Deputy Minister, for the statement and for those responses to the questions from James. I agree with James—we have to go as far as we possibly can in terms of this service, because it is so important.

Papers to note
And based on the point before about data, it's keeping our eye on that, because it's so important that we get disaggregated data, and that we don't necessarily just wait for Welsh Government to ask for the data to be produced, but that it is actually par for…

So, what are the Norwegians doing well then, because you're extolling the virtues of the Norwegian model? Is it that they have a capacity to drink a lot of coffee or—? [Laughter.]

UK-EU governance inquiry: Evidence session
Can I just come in on that, because it's a follow-on question? It all depends on personalities, doesn't it, rather than structures, because they've taken the structure away and, therefore, you're based on inter-ministerial relationships, and when those fall…

I wonder if Simon's got any other thoughts on that, Chair.

What, practically, can we do? What, practically, can the Welsh Government do, or as a legislature here who's effectively observing rather than really getting into the nitty-gritty? Are there any practical aspects that we can actually do rather than just say…

And in what sort of areas do think that there might likely be some exclusions, or any policy areas or any particular areas that you're thinking that might crop up?

Evidence session with the Office for the Internal Market
