Is Professor Arensman aware that some facilities such as Waterford Regional Hospital have full-time psychiatric nurses in their accident and emergency departments? This has proved to be very effective in terms of engagement with people. It is a really good model of practice to have a specialised member of staff present. This service is now provided seven days a week. That needs to be said.
