Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care
Funding and Budgeting of Mental Health Services: Health Service Executive
2:00 pm
Ms Anne O'Connor:
Historically, the mental health budget did not go into primary care. Now, we have allocated funding. We have allocated funding to primary care and early intervention in respect of Jigsaw. Jigsaw funding is now in excess of €9 million and heading towards €10 million. This year we have allocated €5 million for counselling and primary care for those under 18 years, as I mentioned.
