Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care
Community Health Care Organisations: Discussion
10:00 am
Ms Aileen Colley:
No, there is no Jigsaw unit in the south east. There have been conversations about it in south Tipperary and in other counties. As it is a national organisation, our national division will lead out on the conditions that are required in terms of planning for the Jigsaw sites. At the moment there is already agreement for the forthcoming year and we are in conversations with our national colleagues. However, at this point in time, we do not have a Jigsaw unit. We have other providers that are similar to Jigsaw but would probably not have the same remit. For example, Squashy Couch provides similar services in Waterford.
