Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care

Mental Health Services' Funding and Performance Indicators: Discussion

2:15 pm

Ms Kate Mitchell:

I would add that while the appointment of the assistant psychologist posts is positive, there is a requirement to scale that up so that we see that type of investment both for all the child services and adult services across the country at the primary care level and to ensure that we get fully qualified psychologists as well and we are not merely bringing in staff at assistant psychologist level. We should have fully qualified senior level psychologists operating in that space too.
