Motion under Standing Order 17.42 (ix) to resolve to exclude the public from the remainder of this meeting
In that case, I move to item 5, and under Standing Order 17.42 I would propose that we go into private session for the remainder of the meeting. Are Members content with that? They are. In that case, I would just like to wish Members a happy recess and hope…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with the secondary care sector
Thank you, Professor, for your time this morning. We do really appreciate your time, and we'll make sure we send you a copy of the transcript of proceedings so you can look over that for accuracy. I know that you also agreed to provide us with some evidence…

How do they do that particular element of helping to recruit and retain that workforce? Is there anything around that point that you can make a recommendation around?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Mental health inequalities: evidence session with the secondary care sector
You've mentioned, of course, making sure it's a pan-Government approach. I understand that's an action to Government, but how can Government address some of the other issues you've just outlined there?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Mental health inequalities: evidence session with the secondary care sector
Thank you. And how do they do that?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Mental health inequalities: evidence session with the secondary care sector
This is probably the final question now, perhaps to help sum up this session. When it comes to tackling inequalities in terms of mental health, as a committee our job is to influence Government and we'll make a series of recommendations to Government. This is…

But we can celebrate, can't we? But when it comes to—. We're recognising that's good practice, it's right to celebrate it, but how do we ensure that good practice is spread across to other parts of Wales where, perhaps, there are gaps?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Mental health inequalities: evidence session with the secondary care sector
Thanks, Ken. I suppose, what I'm asking, Professor Lloyd, is we can identify good and bad practice, and where we identify good practice, we can celebrate that, of course, but whose job is it is to ensure that that good practice is spread around? Whose…

Ken, perhaps you want to come in on this point.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Mental health inequalities: evidence session with the secondary care sector
Thank you. Throughout the session, professor, you've perhaps identified some areas of good practice. Do you think enough is being done to identify and share good practice in Wales, and if not, what needs to happen?

, Health and Social Care Committee
Mental health inequalities: evidence session with the secondary care sector
Are there any specifics in terms of recommendations that you can think of around that? I'm thinking, for example, I know we recently met groups that talked about how some pots of funding are often for limited periods, or for project work and then come to an…
, Health and Social Care Committee
Mental health inequalities: evidence session with the secondary care sector
Yes. Thank you. Professor, in regard to Mike's set of questions, is there anything that Government or policy makers need to do or do differently to address some of the issues that have been discussed with Mike's line of questioning?

Thank you for being with us this morning. We greatly appreciate your time with us. The pandemic has, of course, affected all parts of the population, but I wonder, from your perspective, what groups of people or communities do you think have perhaps been more…
