Yes, thank you, Chair. Unfortunately, I don't know if there's much more we could do really, as a committee now, looking at the briefing notes. The Minister has come back to say that it's the responsibility of the school, the governing body and the local…

Thank you, Chair. Yes, I agree with what Luke has just said there. But one thing I was thinking that we could do as a committee is: well, I'm conscious that during the election period a lot was made about campaigning for 24-hour access to mental health…

Thank you, Chair. Yes, just like Luke I am a school governor as well, and if I'm honest I agree with what Buffy and Luke have said on this. Teachers have worked phenomenally hard to try and do the best of what has been an absolutely terrible situation, and I…

Yes, thank you, Chair. I'm conscious of the briefing notice that we've had on this, and that it comes already within the remit of Jane Hutt's equality portfolio. But, if I'm honest, I think it is a good idea that we could look at further exploring whether or…
