Minutes:
The Committee noted the detailed information provided by the Health Boards in response to a previous request about provision of 24/7 acute mental health support. The data showed a range of practice across different parts of Wales. It was noted that, since last consideration, progress was being made by the Welsh Government in developing a Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy and a Suicide and Self-Harm Prevention Strategy, and that the petitioner’s comments and observations could be fed into that process. It was therefore agreed to write to the Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing to highlight those comments and observations and seek clarification on the timeline for publication of those strategies. It was agreed to keep the petition open pending a response.
