Questions For - First Minister
What assessment has the Welsh Government made of the impact of local coronavirus restrictions on people's mental health and well-being?
We continue to monitor the impact of the pandemic on mental health and well-being through a range of surveys and other evidence, both in Wales and across the UK. The Minister for Health and Social Services will make a detailed statement on our actions to respond to changing mental health needs shortly.
What emphasis does the Welsh Government place on its statutory goals in fulfilling its economic development objectives?
The seven statutory well-being goals of the Well-being of Future Generations Act 2015 shape all of this Government’s activity, including the design and delivery of our economic action plan. The well-being goals will also frame the economic reconstruction task we face due to the impact of COVID-19.
What assessment has the First Minister made of the UK Internal Market Bill currently making its way through the UK Parliament?
The Bill would have profound and damaging effects on Wales—on our businesses, our citizens and our constitution. It has been introduced with very little engagement or even advance warning. If the Bill is not withdrawn, the Senedd’s consent should be withheld unless very significant amendments are made.
Will the First Minister make a statement on the impact of COVID-19 on primary care in Ynys Môn?
The Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board is working alongside practices on Ynys Môn to provide multidisciplinary primary care in all parts of the island.
