In this context, the Minister covered various relevant issues in his address, including the need to develop responses to this specific issue and to wider evolving mental health challenges, the continued priority of the Government to develop all aspects of relevant policies and services, and promoting partnerships with the non-statutory sector to promote high quality standards across mental health care, including Prevention and Early Intervention measures.
