Mental health inequalities in Wales
The Senedd Health and Social Care Committee are holding an inquiry into mental health inequalities.
The Committee is looking in particular for views about:
- Which groups of people are disproportionately affected by poor mental health in Wales? What factors contribute to worse mental health within these groups?
- For the groups identified, what are the barriers to accessing mental health services? How effectively can existing services meet their needs, and how could their experience of using mental health services be improved?
- To what extent does Welsh Government policy recognise and address the mental health needs of these groups? Where are the policy gaps?
- What further action is needed, by whom/where, to improve mental health and outcomes for the groups of people identified and reduce mental health inequalities in Wales?
The deadline for submissions is 24 February 2022.
