B
You
presiding
officer
M,
our
ten-year
mental
health
strategy
paints.
A
clearer
picture
of
the
kind
of
Scotland
I
want
to
leaven
a
Scotland
where
people
can
get
the
right
help
at
the
right
time,
expect
recovery
and
fully
enjoy
the
rapes
free
from
discrimination
and
stigma.
The
strategies
gating
ambition
is
that
we
must
prevent
and
treat
mental
health
problems
with
the
same
commitment,
passion
and
drive
as
we
do.
Physical
health
problems.
B
I
was
honored
to
be
appointed
the
Minister
for
mental
health
in
June
of
this
year
to
build
upon
the
work
of
my
predecessor
Maureen
what,
while
they've
only
been
in
post
for
a
short
time.
I
know
from
my
experience
as
a
mental
health
nurse
the
commitment
and
dedication
of
the
people
who
make
a
difference
in
mental
health
care
every
day
across
Scotland
presenting
officer
today
sees
the
publication
of
the
first
progress
report
on
the
mental
health
strategy
in
the
first
period.
The
strategy
of
the
strategy.
B
Many
of
its
actions
have
already
been
implemented
out
of
40
actions
in
the
strategy.
13
are
complete
or
nearly
complete
and
26
actions
are
in
progress.
The
remains
only
one
action
to
carry
out
a
progress
review
of
the
strategy
in
2022
that,
for
obvious
reasons,
is
yet
to
get
underway.
However,
there
are
three
particular
actions
in
the
strategy
that
I
will
send
single
out
for
attention
now
under
actions.
B
16
of
the
strategy
we
invested
175,000
pounds
to
establish
a
perinatal
managed
clinical
network,
the
managed
clinical
networks,
expertise
and
diligent
work
has
directly
informed
a
commitment
in
our
2018
programme
for
government
to
deliver
a
stronger
network
of
care
and
support
for
the
one
in
five
new
mothers
who
experience
mental
health
problems
during
and
after
pregnancy,
that
equates
to
11,000
women
per
year.
This
will
see
50
million
pounds
of
investment
in
perinatal
and
infant
mental
health
over
the
next
five
years.
B
The
transition
care
plans
have
been
entirely
designed
by
young
people
and
dialogue
with
clinicians
and
they're
a
shining
example
of
what
can
happen
when
we
listen
to
the
views
of
very
young
people
and
act
accordingly.
Those
are
just
three
of
the
headline
achievements
that
are
summarized
in
the
report.
They
are
examples
of
where
specific
actions
in
this
strategy
are
already
making
a
real
and
tangible
difference
to
people's
lives.
It's
important
to
see
that
the
40
actions
contained
in
this
strategy
will
not
in
themselves
completely
deliver
on
our
central
vision.
B
The
actors
are
valuable
and
necessary
levers
to
create
the
change
that
we
want
to
see,
but
getting
to
your
ultimate
vision
and
achieving
your
ambitions
requires
what
beyond
the
set
of
commitments,
there
are
five
pieces
of
work,
I
want
to
mention
specifically
and
I
think
they
are
all
fundamentally
important.
Firstly,
there
is
the
children
and
young
people's
mental
health
task
force,
chaired
by
Dame
Denise
Correa
and
supported
by
five
million
pounds
of
additional
funding.
B
Dr.
Koya
has
dedicated
her
summer
to
talk
with
children
and
young
people,
their
families,
services
agencies
and
practitioners,
and
she
published
her
initial
recommendations
earlier
in
the
month
on
her
whole
system's
approach
to
mental
health
services.
Her
work
will
help
to
implement
their
recommendations
from
the
rejected
referrals
report,
which
was
published
earlier
this
year.
Dr.
Koya
has
already
started
work
on
a
blueprint
for
how
services
can
better
meet
the
rapidly
changing
need
that
we
see
across
Scotland,
and
the
task
force
will
convene
its
first
meeting
month.
B
Secondly,
that
it
is
the
Youth
Commission
on
mental
health.
Young
people
are
spending
15
months
on
an
in-depth
investigation
of
child
and
adolescent
mental
health
services,
and
they
will
do
their
own
research,
identify
issues
that
that
are
important
to
them,
speak
to
the
experts,
policymakers
and
service
providers,
about
the
solutions
and
more
than
this,
the
youth
commissioners
have
been
invited
by
dr.
Koya
to
be
co-chairs
of
the
taskforce.
I
think
this
is
an
inspired
move
and
will
keep
the
voices
of
children
and
young
people
at
the
center
of
this
work.
B
And
thirdly,
that
is
the
suicide
prevention
action
plan
which
we
published
on
the
length
of
August.
It's
it's
an
ambitious
target
of
reducing
suicides
by
20%
over
five
years
and
contains
ten
actions
and
it's
backed
by
an
additional
three
million
pounds
and
we've
already
is
established.
The
national
suicide
prevention
leadership
group
chaired
by
Rosa
Fitzpatrick
and
that
group
will
meet
for
the
first
time
tomorrow
and
fourthly,
that
is
the
Cimiez
national
campaign
launched
on
the
18th
of
September.
B
This
is
the
biggest
conversation
we
have
ever
had
with
young
people
in
Scotland
on
what
mental
well-being
means
to
them.
Harnessing
the
power
of
Moo
music
to
hear
people
across
the
country
talk
about
how
they
feel
and
I'm
sure
that
the
results
are
going
to
be
especially
valuable
to
dr.
Khoi
as
taskforce
and,
lastly,
our
2018
programme
for
government
has
mental
health
at
it's
very
heart.
It
contains
a
package
of
measures
to
support
positive
mental
health
and
prevent
ill
health.
B
These
new
actions
build
upon
the
mental
health
strategy
and
will
be
backed
by
a
quarter
of
a
billion
pounds
of
additional
investment.
This
investment
has
a
clear
focus
on
children
and
adolescent
mental
health
services,
including
school
counseling.
All
of
this
is
reflected
in
the
report,
which
demonstrates
progress
on
the
strategies,
forty
actions
and
towards
achieving
your
central
vision.
It
is
the
framework
set
by
the
strategy,
together
with
other
work,
I've
mentioned
that
has
helped
to
create
the
current
sense
of
purpose
and
momentum
on
mental
health
that
we
see
across
Scotland
across
society.
B
We
see
a
constantly
evolving
understanding
of
good
mental
health,
mental
distress,
mental
ill
health
and
well-being.
In
the
past,
many
people
were
unwilling
to
or
unable
to
discuss
their
mental
ill-health
and
to
seek
appropriate
support
and
treatment,
and
this
is
thankfully
changing.
However,
I
want
to
go
further
and
working
to
overcome
the
stigma
that
can
be
associated
with
pure
mental
health.
We
also
need
to
ensure
that
the
public's
understanding,
an
expectation
of
mental
health
services
is
accurate
and
appropriate.
The
services
that
are
being
delivered
must
also
better
reflect
need.
B
We
know
that
there
is
a
gap
between
how
services
are
currently
configured
and
some
of
the
overall
needs
of
the
population,
and
this
is
often
to
lay
a
fork.
There
is
often
too
great
a
focus
on
crisis
and
specialist
services
for
both
adults
and
children.
There
need
to
be
new
models
of
support
that
are
less
specialized
available
for
more
people
and
that
are
delivered
across
different
settings
and
services.
B
It
means
ensuring
that
access
to
mental
health
professionals
is
straightforward
and
easy
to
navigate
for
the
under
vigil,
so
that
the
right
help
is
available
at
the
right
time.
Related
to
this,
we
also
know
that
the
workforce
must
grow
through
action.
15
of
the
strategy
work
in
missing
significant
investment
to
delivering
an
additional
800
mental
health
professionals
by
2021
22.
We
are
doing
this
in
partnership
with
integrated
authorities,
health
boards,
local
authorities
and
key
sectors
recognizing
the
different
services
and
settings
where
people
can
present
well
in
distress.
B
And,
finally,
the
role
of
data
and
information
is
another
area
where
there
is
significant
scope
for
improvement.
We
need
to
move
away
from
the
current
focus
on
waiting
times
and
workforce
statistics
and
instead
use
evidence
to
identify
areas
for
improvement.
What
works
and
what
hasn't
measuring
patients
outcomes
and
experience
will
also
be
important.
B
An
action
38
of
the
strategy,
the
launch
of
a
quality
indicator
profile
and
mental
health
data
framework
will
be
key
to
this
presiding
officer.
As
I
said.
At
the
start,
we've
come
a
long
way
since
March
2017,
when
the
strategy
was
published.
The
report
laid
before
Parliament
today
summarizes
that
progress
and
does
so
by
looking
at
what
is
happening
across
the
whole
system
and
of
what
the
report
describes
is
making
a
contribution
to
what
will
be
a
fundamental
change.
C
You
presiding
officer
and
I
thank
them.
Ana
staff
for
advanced
sight
of
her
statement.
I
welcome
the
commitments
made
by
the
Scottish
Government
and
its
recent
programme
for
government.
We
all
want
to
see
mental
health
receive
the
focus
its
Wu
desperately
needs.
However,
I
feel
like
that
statement
is
missing
the
point
some
walk
since
the
strategy
was
introduced.
Last
year,
we've
seen
cams
waiting
times
at
their
worst
on
record,
we've
seen
an
order
and
who
reject
you.
C
Two
fatals
highlighting
a
consistent
way
of
one
in
five
children
and
young
people
being
rejected
for
treatment,
and
then
all
that
score
and
report
displayed
in
children's
mental
health
services
as
complex
and
fragmented
we've
had
we've
heard
many
warm
words
particular
when
it
comes
to
early
intervention
and
prevention,
but
things
don't
seem
to
be
moving
in
the
right
direction
and
when
I've
asked
about
additional
mental
health
workers,
community,
like
workers,
skill,
counselors
and
nurses,
I
haven't
got
anywhere
fast.
Dto
seems
to
be
working.
C
C
A
B
Think
Annie
Wales
for
her
in
question.
There
I
think
it's
rather
disappointing
that
she's
not
able
to
welcome
the
progress
that
has
been
made
in
the
18
months.
Stakeholders
involved
in
during
this
progress
have
been
NHS
social
care
workers,
thought
sector
organisations
and
other
stakeholders,
and
she
also
AM,
wasn't
really
listening
to
what
I
was
seeing
in
my
statement
when
she
asked
about
cam
services
she'll
be
aware
that
we
have
set
up
a
task
force
under
Dame
Denise
Koya,
which
has
been
working
over
the
summer.
D
I
began
by
thanking
the
Minister
for
mental
health
for
the
advance
notice
overstatement.
Everyone
wants
to
see
mental
health
on
an
equal
footing
to
physical
health
and
the
reality
for
the
Scottish
government
is
that
they
are
nowhere
achieving
in
nowhere
near
achieving
a
parity
regardless
of
their
water
marks.
We
welcome
the
appointment
of
team
Denise
Koya
in
cheering
the
children
and
young
people's
mental
health
task
force.
D
We
also
welcome
the
treatment
that
1,000
people
have
received
thus
far
in
Aberdeen
minor,
share
of
the
borders
and
Highland
to
tackle
the
mental
health
of
drug
and
alcohol
abusers,
Gavin
cuts
to
alcohol
and
drug
treatment
over
the
last
decade.
Gwen
will
be
distressed
brief
intervention
programme
beer
all
day
across
Scotland
and
well.
Funding
be
increased
year
on
year
to
tackle
areas
of
high
deviation
and
poverty
which
results
in
higher
levels
of
drug
and
alcohol
addiction.
B
Minifee
for
her
answer,
I
hope
I'll
be
able
to
ask
answer
most
of
your
questions
here.
Yes,
is
additional
funding
that
was
announced
in
the
programme
for
government
and
I
am
pleased
to
hear
that
she
welcomes
the
translational
care
plans
that
they
were
launched
last
month.
It
was
certainly
are
a
piece
of
work
in
that
was
done
by
young
people
themselves
with
the
support
of
clinicians
and
when
I
was
at
the
launch.
E
You
and
I
thank
the
Minister
for
advanced
site
of
her
statement.
The
minister's
book
off
the
delivery
of
an
additional
eight
hundreds,
mental
health
professionals
to
support
any
GP
practices,
police
station
custody,
Suites
and
prisons.
But
a
half
training
police's
been
increased
to
allow
for
the
further
four
hundred
and
thirty
counselors
now
committed
to
schools,
colleges
and
universities,
and
is
the
commitment
to
provide
a
further
250
school
nurses
also
being
reflected
in
extending
the
number
of
training
places.
Minister.
A
B
And
we
integration
authorities
have
been
devolved
responsibility
for
health
and
social
care
for
their
areas
and
therefore
they're
key
in
and
playing
their
part
in
this
plan
and
to
take
any
Kanaka
name.
Local
needs.
We're
working
in
cooperation
with
other
relevant
partners,
aim
to
ensure
that
is
the
the
base
use
of
this
workforce,
and
it
will
collide
plans.
They
will
need
to
be
made
to
meet
the
the
local
population
and
make
sure
that
we
effectively
working
with
partners
and
to
ensure
that
we
have
these
workers
in
place.
B
F
Thank
you
very
much
presiding
off
side
to
you.
I'm
grateful
for
early
signs
of
the
minister's
statement.
Liberal
Democrat
is
very
grateful
to
see
the
800
mental
health
workers
begin
to
be
recruited,
become
the
minister
specify
exactly
what
role
that
will
they
fulfill?
Are
they
talking
therapists
or
are
they
sign
posting
people
into
interventions
and
well?
B
Thank
You
mr.
call
Hamilton
for
his
question
in
the
as
I
said
in
my
previous
answer:
Alison
Johnson.
We
are
currently
working
with
a
chief
officers
of
antiquated
authorities
and
delivering
vests
commitment,
em
and
making
a
detailed
what
plans,
which
will
include
him,
we're
that
the
excuse
me
where's,
the
workforce
will
be
and
I
think
that
is
really
important,
that
we
work
to
local
plans,
because
this
is
not
going
to
be
a
one-size-fits-all
in
as
jag
out
in
the
adverse
childhood
experiences.
B
This
government
is
investing
in
perinatal
mental
health
services,
as
well
as
in
infant
mental
health
services
and
to
try
and
support
families
so
that
we
reduce
the
risk
to
children
and
we've
also
wrote
it.
The
family
nurse
partnership,
which
is
also
working
with
vulnerable
families,
to
reduce
the
risk
of
aces.
A
B
Rural
mental
health
forum
has
been
established
to
help
people
in
rural
areas
maintain
good
health
and
well-being.
This
forum
will
help
develop
connections
between
communities
across
rural
Scotland
so
that
isolated
people
can
receive
support
when
and
where
they
Nita.
The
forum
has
been
provided
with
50,000
pounds
of
funding
this
financial
year
and
the
funding
has
been
jointly
provided
by
the
mental
health
and
rural
portfolios,
demonstrating
the
cross-cutting
nature
of
the
forum's
work.
B
Since
2016
membership
of
the
forum
has
grown
from
16
to
60,
and
the
forum
has
agreed
upon
three
outcomes
to
deliver
a
one
being
a
much
improved
understanding
of
the
need
and
unmet
need
for
mental
health
support
in
rural
skaaland
evidence
of
how
to
better
overcome
barriers
to
accessing
and
seeking
support,
and
therefore
enhancing
people's
mental
being
in
rural
Scotland
and
better
informed
rural
and
health
policy.
Due
to
specific
evidence
and
support
from
the
forum,
members
Donald.
H
Recent
figures
show
that
over
a
fifth
of
calves,
patients
in
the
Highlands
and
Islands
region
have
not
be
seen
within
the
18
week
target
over
the
last
year,
given
the
issues
around
mental
health
provision
in
rural
Scotland,
what
more
can
be
done
to
improve
such
dire
statistics
in
the
Scotland's,
Highlands
and
Islands?
Mr.
B
B
We
got
her
initial
M
recommendations
last
week
and
our
task
force
will
meet
next
month
and
they
will
be
looking
at
how
we
revise
and
change
cam
services
so
that
people
can
get
access
to
services
that
they
need
quicker
and
those
who
need
specialist
services
can
be
fast-tracked
to
be
seen
by
those
special
services.
Lewton.
I
You
presiding
officer,
just
this
week,
we've
been
given
more
stark
remainders
over
the
deputy,
devastating
impact
and
billing
orphan
of
all.
Young
people
can
have
and
ways
families
and
communities.
Let's
be
clear.
Billing
in
any
forum
and
person
or
online
is
not
acceptable.
Can
the
minister
in
what
support
has
been
given
two
skills
to
be
able
to
recognize
and
support
young
people
with
mental
health
has
been
impacted
by
billing
Minister.
A
B
Agree
entirely
with
a
photo
McGregor
that
bullying
of
any
kind
is
totally
unacceptable
and
must
be
dealt
with
quickly
and
whenever
and
wherever
it
happens.
Education,
authorities
and
all
those
working
in
our
schools
have
a
responsibility
to
identify,
support
and
develop
the
mental
well-being
of
pupils
with
decisions
and
how
to
provide
that
support,
taken
on
the
basis
of
local
circumstance
and
meet
local
authorities,
we'll
be
using
a
range
of
approaches
and
resources
to
support
children
and
young
people
with
their
mental
and
emotional
well-being
and
lain
with
local
needs
and
circumstances.
B
Since
2014
Scottish
government
has
provided
6000
pounds
per
year
to
the
education
Scotland
to
rule
a
mental
health,
first,
aid
training
for
children
and
young
people
to
local
authorities,
and
the
aim
of
this
is
to
train
staff
within
secretary
school
communities
in
order
to
increase
their
confidence
in
approaching
pupils
who,
they
think
might
be
struggling
with
a
mental
health
problem.
And
this
training
will
complement
the
range
of
mental
health
strategies
that
are
already
in
place
within
local
authorities
and.
J
Mental
health
minister
unbelievably
said
in
your
statement
that
we
need
to
move
away
from
the
current
focus
on
waiting
times
and
workforce
statistics
that,
in
the
face
of
the
worst
cams
waiting
times
on
record,
the
highest
suicide
rate
across
the
UK,
a
sky-high
vacancy
rate
and
what
the
desperate
need
to
recruit
hundreds
of
more
staff.
Does
the
minister
not
understand
that
the
way
of
moving
the
focus
away
is
by
meeting
the
standard,
treating
patients
on
time
and
employing
more
staff?
Master.
A
B
Thank
You
mr.
Sarah
I
am
I.
Recognise
in
this
Government
recognises
that
mental
health
services
are
not
in
are
not
good
enough
for
for
our
young
people,
which
is
why
we
have
set
up
a
task
force
under
deemed
in
his
coy.
As
I've
already
said.
The
previous
Minister
for
mental
health
met
with
a
number
of
alias
boards,
where
the
current
delivery
against
and
just
continues
to
fall
short,
and
the
latest
statistics
show
that
five
of
these
boards
show
some
sign
of
improvement.
B
But
we
need
to
go
further
in
our
mental
health
strategy
is
investing
150
million
pounds
into
services
over
five
years
and
it
clearly
how
we
can
reshape
service
delivery
to
benefit
patients,
and
this
includes
54
million
pounds
to
help
boards
improve
their
performance
against
waiting
time
targets
by
investing
in
workforce
development,
recruitment
and
retention
and
service
improvement
support.
And
we
are
already
funding
health
improvements
gotten
to
work
with
boards
on
improving
an
improvement
with
ISD
analysts
embedded
in
the
boards
and
a
knee
chase
education,
Scotland's
programme
of
investment.
In
what
for
capacity
building
john.
K
A
B
B
We
have
rolled
out
in
CBT
a
computerized
CBT
program
to
all
NHS
boards,
so
there
are
various
ways
that
people
cannot
say
services,
and
there
are
also
a
great
many
third
sector
organizations
where
people
can
access
health
such
as
Samaritans,
if
they
feel
that
they
are
a
mental
health
difficulty
and
don't
feel
able
to
approach
their
GP.
However,
I
would
encourage
anyone
who
feels
like
that
to
try
and
of
go
to
see
their
GP,
because
they
are
a
best
place
to
be
able
to
st.
post
them
to
services.
Look
like
Brian.
L
Think
similar
to
the
co-state
strategy,
the
Scottish
Government's
needs
to
be
focused
and
trained
to
deliver
service
to
those
caught
in
that
pure
mental
health
spiral
as
faithful
as
that
as
soon
as
crucial
as
I'm.
Wonderful
Minister
recognizes
that
unless
the
whole
system
approach
to
health
is
adopted
which
looks
at
the
causes
of
poor
mental
health
like
poor
nutrition
and
activity
in
chronic
pain
and
obesity
and
isolation
and
alcohol
and
drug
addiction,
with
all
the
evidence
work
from
from
mental
health,
Scotland
Sam
each
system
is
ultimately
going
to
crash
Minister.
A
B
Think
it's
interesting.
The
mr.
reto
left
paw
fruity
awful.
That
list
considering
import
the
Yuki
Tory
government
is
doing
in
terms
of
ruling
out
universal,
played
it
and
putting
a
lot
of
people
in
today
and
poverty,
people
having
to
access
food
via
food
banks
and
but
I
think
you
chose
not
to
mention
that.
However,
what
I
will
see
is
that
the
mental
health
strategy
does
look
at
physical
health.
B
There
does
look
at
things
like
a
smoking,
cessation,
screening
and
activity,
and
there
have
been
programs
set
up
under
under
the
minute
health
strategy
in
committing
to
improve
physical
health
inequalities
of
people
with
mental
health
problems.
Smoking
cessation,
for
example,
nHS
Lothian
m,
and
I
have
been
of
a
tobacco
control
action
plan
which
was
published
in
the
20th
of
june,
which
contains
commitments
to
raise
awareness
amongst
medical
professionals
and
health
care
staff.
At
this
significant
impact
the
smoking
can
have
on
mental
health
medications.

Yes,
I:
can
the

to
consider
whether
the
provisions
of
the

fulfills,

is
underway.
There's
a
strong
emphasis
on
reaching
a
broad
range
of
stakeholders
and
seldom
helped
trips
so
that
the
real
issues
can
be
fleshed
out
and
considered.
B
This
will
mean
that
several
stages
of
engagement,
as
well
as
providing
the
right
supports
for
people
so
that
it
will
be
so
it
will
be
able
to
record
a
range
of
views
and
experiences,
making
the
review
truly
accessible,
and
it's
therefore
crucial
that
this
review
is
truly
inclusive
and
that
this
work
is
open
and
transparent.
We
want
people
to
see
and
understand
and
participate
in
the
work
of
the

the

the
