Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Workforce Planning in the Mental Healthcare Sector: Discussion

Mr. John Farrelly:

I agree with that. It does not cover the fact that young men and women, children and adolescents, should not be accommodated in adult units, whatever definition we apply. Compared to our nearest neighbours such as the UK or Scotland, on our evidence base and statistics and how we judge things we are definitely a little bit behind the curve in Ireland. We are more than happy to work with any agency to ensure that statistics for the public are good and correct.
