Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare

Integration of Health and Social Care: St. Patrick's Mental Health Services

9:00 am

Mr. Tom Maher:

Deputy Buckley asked how can we enhance services for people with a dual diagnosis. As Professor Lucey has said, it is important not to separate the mental health service from the addictions and dual diagnosis service. Addiction issues and problems are mental health problems and, therefore, should be under the remit of mental health service and not disaggregated or separated from the mental health services. That specific point is quite important.
