Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution

Ancillary Recommendations of the Citizens' Assembly Report: Department of Health and the HSE

3:00 pm

Mr. Liam Woods:

The recruitment of perinatal psychiatrists could be included in it. In reality, we see it as primarily being implemented and monitored under the women and infants programme. Mr. Kilian McGrane, Dr. Peter McKenna and Ms Angela Dunne are part of that work. It is part of the HSE and the reports are to its acute division. A plan has been set out with these actions and there can be reports against them which can be made publicly available. Mr. McGrane might have his view, but I believe it would probably nest better within the overall women and infants programme because it is related to other actions under that programme.
