Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care

Mental Health Services' Funding and Performance Indicators: Discussion

2:15 pm

Ms Kate Mitchell:

That is no problem. That is how that breaks down. It sounds like a lot of money but when one thinks of it in the context of how much funding is going into the mental health system, it is very little.

I would echo Dr. McDaid's point that we need to invest in services and supports such as this to ensure that people get the supports they need when they need them, and that if we do that early intervention piece, it will provide a return on that investment.
