Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care

A Vision for Change: Engagement with Department of Health Oversight Group

5:30 pm

Mr. Hugh Kane:

Absolutely, but the issue was that if I was to write a monthly report to the committee, there would not be sufficient substance to assist the work of the committee. That was the only reason. Part of our issue when trying to come up with a work plan is that the group was in its formative stage and while we could have filled out a sheet, we wanted to make sure that we came up with a plan that we felt we could achieve and which was workable for us. This was the motivation. We were not trying to avoid talking to the committee or to keep out of the limelight. We were in a phase of deliberation and consultation. Writing a report based on that would not have been particularly helpful to the committee.
