Mental health support in higher education—evidence session 9
Is it okay then, Minister, with that work, that you could keep this committee updated, whether that's on a public basis or a confidential basis, just so we are assured that things are being done to address this point? Because as I said, I don't, and I'm sure…

One final question, Chair, if that's okay. Minister, last week, you're probably aware, we took evidence jointly with the Health and Social Care Committee from Mind Cymru about a report they'd done on the transition between child and adolescent mental health…

Thank you. One thing we also heard when we took evidence was—it’s probably a question for both Ministers here, as to how you want to answer this—that they feel sometimes the induction process at universities to identify mental health problems is lacking. It…

So that student services can refer to a GP directly about a student.

Mental health support in higher education—evidence session 9
We were talking to the universities and student services were saying a lot of people go and talk to student services, to the faculty at university about their problems, but the students themselves have to refer themselves to a GP or somewhere else. Student…

It’s good to hear you say that, and I think it’s something we could pick up again in, perhaps, a further evidence session, because what we’re hearing from the young people in universities is that they do have to be at crisis point. They present early and…

Mental health support in higher education—evidence session 9
Okay. One of the things we heard from evidence, especially within the student population, was around certain types of conditions. They seem to be waiting longer and struggle to get access to services more, because they have to be, as I said before, at that…

Diolch, Gadeirydd. Minister, as you're probably well aware, the terms of reference for our inquiry didn't really want to go in to the performance of statutory services within the NHS with regard to mental health, but, as you're well aware, as a previous Chair…

It is on this point about collaboration between health and universities, because we took evidence more than a week ago—Sioned and I went—and, actually, the university said that they have a pyramid system of support. Their crisis point, right at the top of the…

—the last question that Buffy Williams raised, and it was actually raised with me, when we took evidence in Trinity Saint David, by a young gentleman who was actually studying there. The biggest killer of young men between 20 to 35 is suicide, and that young…

, Plenary
Questions to the First Minister
I'd like to thank the Minister for your answer. There is huge concern in my area about the £4.25 million purchase by the Welsh Government of Gilestone farm and the due diligence around that, and the potential future land use for that area. Currently, I'm…

Questions to the First Minister
7. Has the Welsh Government considered any additional uses for the land at Gilestone Farm other than the proposed lease to the Green Man festival? OQ58744

Yes. Thanks, Chair. I would just retrospectively like to make you aware of my register of interests on the last agenda item. Thank you.

I have a follow-up question—[Inaudible.]
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
Lovely. That was quite quick and over and done with. Thank you.
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
Good. And did the provision of the UK Subsidy Control Act 2022 impact upon how the Bill has been drafted, and how will it impact upon any provision made during secondary legislation?
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
That's fine. Good. I'll move away from snares now and move on to carcass classification, if that's okay. Do you think the internal market Act will have any issue on carcass classification as well?

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
That's fine.

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
And through your consultation period on the banning of snares, as that Act came in, is there something that any organisations or individuals have raised with either yourself or the Counsel General, that they potentially could be taking this to High Court…
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
I think it's important for our committee to get underneath these things; we don't want to see things going into Bills that are going to potentially be legally challenged in the High Court and then overturned and then have to change legislation after because…

Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
So, you're quite confident that putting it in won't end up in a legal challenge.
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
It's on snares, this one is, Minister. With the United Kingdom Internal Market Act 2020, how do you think that's going to affect the provision for banning snares in Wales, with that in place?
, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Agriculture (Wales) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
Okay. That's fine. I just wanted you to clarify that, because I do think there are some people who probably would like to know whether it will be considered as an amendment, potentially, to the Bill. Thank you.
