Mr. Farrelly referred to the role of director of mental health, which was stood down a short while ago. I hear consistently across different aspects of mental health services that this has had a detrimental impact on the delivery of services within the mental health sector. The commission has called for the role to be re-instated. Have the witnesses seen, in practical terms, a real impact from the loss of that director from the top table?
