Text
First Minister, the well-being dashboard shows that life satisfaction among our young people is continuing to worsen. Mental health is a huge issue, as is a lack of opportunities and overall happiness. If that dashboard is meant to drive the Programme for Government, what action is it triggering, and how is it used?
