Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care
Mental Health Services: Discussion
10:00 am
Dr. John O'Brien:
Apropos the capacity side of things, it is actually more pressing even than the information committee members have before them. Some 15% of GPs are over the age of 65 and 25% are over the age of 60 years. We have a demographic cliff looming ahead. Much of what we are talking about today is urgent. We cannot simply continue talking like this. It is urgent.
