Responding to his exchange with Labour’s Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing in the Senedd today, Gareth Davies MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Minister for Mental Health and Early Years said:
“How we apply the Mental Health (Wales) Measure is integral to tackling problems with mental health provision, but it seems my Labour counterpart lacks knowledge on the subject.
“Our legislation and codes are in desperate need of updating, they must move forward with the times. Yet the Labour Mental Health Minister is clearly unaware of the distinction and displays a lack willingness to engage on the application of the Mental Health Measure.
“I would urge the minister to brush up on her knowledge and take on board my genuine concerns on behalf of those suffering with mental health issues the length and breadth of Wales.”
