Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care
Mental Health Services: Discussion (Resumed)
1:30 pm
Chairman:
We will go to our last member, Deputy Neville, but before I move on, I have a couple of questions. One is to Dr. Aileen Murtagh. What difference has the new eSwift software made to her and to her service? The other question is for Mr. Michael Walsh. We heard recently that when a psychiatrist is retiring or leaving, that his or her job is not advertised until he or she actually leaves. There will always be a massive period where there is no cover. Mr. Walsh mentioned earlier what that is like. The impact on the service must be even worse if a consultant is to be replaced. Will he talk about that? It does not make sense, does it? Then we will go to Dr. Murtagh.
