I know that, yes.

Mental Health support in Higher Education—evidence session 6
Yes, it's on that support and funding and everything else, and I do 100 per cent agree with you on wider mental health support—just across the piece, it should be longer than year-on-year funding. How do you use the third sector to support you—Mind Cymru and…

No, no, that's fine.

Mental Health support in Higher Education—evidence session 6
Yes, and that probably comes to my final question. You talked a lot about the mental health liaison service pilot that is in Cardiff, and I'm very supportive of it. So, what would your assessment be of the wider benefits of it and also the limitations of it?…

Mental Health support in Higher Education—evidence session 6
Diolch, Cadeirydd. I've got two questions, if that's okay. I'll try to roll them all together. I think the role between the NHS and university providers can get a bit blurred sometimes and I actually don't quite know where the NHS kicks in, and how far your…

Yes, lovely. I'm going to take a break for a minute, Chair, if that's okay.

I'll come on to that later.

Mental Health support in Higher Education—evidence session 6
Okay. One final question, if I may, Chair, thank you. Students now face a lot more different pressures to what they used to—the cost-of-living pressures and the social pressures that are put on students. What more support—. Are you gearing up with more…

Mental Health support in Higher Education—evidence session 6
Okay. Thank you.
, Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Mental Health support in Higher Education—evidence session 6
That probably leads me on to my second question now then, because those people have come and asked for help, and that's great, we want to encourage more people, if they are struggling, to come and access help, but it is also creating that environment, isn't…

Ben and, obviously, Kirsty, you said 5,000 students from your side of things and 2,800 from your side of things. Are those people who have been referred by GPs as well, or are they just straight-up referrals?

Mental Health support in Higher Education—evidence session 6
Good.
, Children, Young People, and Education Committee
Mental Health support in Higher Education—evidence session 6
Yes. On that point, you've got quite big student bodies in your representative institutions, so what proportion of those students need that specialist NHS support, and what proportion of those students can be helped by the institution that you're from? I'll…

Short Debate: Funding Wales's future: Investing in universities to drive economic growth
I’d like to thank Tom Giffard for giving me a minute of his time two minutes before this debate was about to start. [Laughter.] Research funding is vital to solving some of the major problems we do have in the world, and, as colleagues in this Chamber sat…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Stroke
I didn't say we needed a district general hospital in Powys; I'd like to see one, but I recognise the challenges of doing that. What I would like to see is actually more of those services being delivered, like a stroke care centre, in our little cottage…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Stroke
My constituents have a challenging relationship with stroke services, unlike those in many other parts of Wales, due to us not having a district general hospital in Powys. The rural nature of Brecon and Radnorshire and the lack of stroke service provision…

I'd also like to pay tribute to my colleague Jayne Bryant for her excellent chairing of the committee, which I sit on. I just wanted to raise the point that you talk about males who also suffer from sexual harassment. I'm sure you'd agree with me, and others…

Thank you for that, Minister. Many young tenant farmers in my constituency believe that the proposals as currently drafted within the sustainable farming scheme are still very much leaned towards land ownership. Tenants, usually young farming families on the…
