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:

We had a good balance between service users or their families and the professionals working in the field. For instance, there was representation from social work, social care, psychiatry, psychology, general practice, counselling, occupational therapy, nursing, service users, speech and language therapy, dieticians, education, the Irish Advocacy Network and peer support workers. There was a broad range of representation and we sought to ensure everybody had equal access. We achieved a good level of agreement. People found the specific task we are doing a little challenging. There was broad representation today and the group will meet again when we have more detail on the area on which we are working.
