Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care

Restructuring of Mental Health Services: HSE

1:30 pm

Ms Anne O'Connor:

There is a lead for communications in the mental health division who has done a lot of work with other agencies. We are always trying to communicate and it is a big challenge. Part of the problem is that we need everybody to communicate and people have to communicate with referrers in local areas. We have published a lot and all the documents we have referenced are on the website. We try to get as much information as possible out there. There are different worlds of information. There is information that families want about family members, which needs to be very clear, and there is information wanted by professionals, other services referrers. We try to manage all that but we do have dedicated communication support for mental health.
