Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care
A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive
10:00 am
Ms Anne O'Connor:
In terms of the performance of teams and numbers of people, in a performance report we look at the number of clinical people and how the team performs every month compared with other teams. We have that information every month and feed it back to teams. It is fair to say that it is not always the case that teams with vacancies are performing poorly. We have teams that are fully staffed which do not necessarily perform. The other challenge in mental health is that we have one of each discipline. If an occupational therapist is missing, nobody else can do that job. Nobody else can be a social worker. That is a challenge. Ms O'Neill can discuss funding.
