Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Developments in Mental Health Services: Discussion

Dr. Susan Finnerty:

The care pathway for people who are in residences like that is really through rehabilitation and recovery. Their acute need has gone and the idea is to move them on. They do not have care pathways because there are not enough rehabilitation teams, and the teams that are in place are poorly staffed. Only 48% of the teams recommended in A Vision for Change are in place.
