Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care

Funding and Budgeting of Mental Health Services: Health Service Executive

2:00 pm

Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

We would not want to encourage further proliferation of organisations, as Ms O'Connor has indicated. There are a lot of organisations being funded and, while some of them do very good work, the last thing we want is more and more organisations seeking to start off in an unco-ordinated fashion. We can talk about what individual organisations are looking for. I am sure a new organisation could emerge in most counties in most months of the year. We are looking to develop the services but not necessarily to develop individual organisations, although there is always room for targeted investment.
