Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Workforce Planning in the Mental Healthcare Sector: Discussion
Michael Harty (Clare, Independent) | Oireachtas source
A further question arises on dual diagnosis in respect of homeless people who are perhaps living on the streets. They generally have not only mental health but addiction issues. There seems to be a separation of services where if one has an addiction one receives addiction services, but if one has a psychiatric problem, one is dealt with by the psychiatric services. There is quite a siloed disconnection between those two services. How can that be bridged?
