Information and data on mental health and wellbeing in Wales is currently limited. The National Health Survey for Wales asks adults to report if they have a mental disorder (of which 9% in 2018/19 said they did), but this may not capture the numbers of people with less acute mental health issues.
In 2012, the Welsh government published their ‘Together for Mental Health’ strategy, a 10-year plan for improving mental health and wellbeing in Wales. As a result, around £600m is now invested in mental health services each year, more than any other service in the NHS.
