Mr. John Meehan:

Connecting for Life identifies Travellers as a priority. I do not want to leave today without reassuring the committee and people listening that we recognise that Travellers are an ethnic group with a distinct culture. Travellers have specific health needs that we have to identify and they require a health service that is responsive to their needs. I would like to reassure the committee that we are progressing with that frame of mind about Travellers as a priority group within mental health services.
