Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Mental Health Services (Resumed)

Mr. Jim Ryan:

To answer the Deputy's question directly, we are not proposing any such new services. It must be remembered that we are a secondary care mental health service so we work with our primary care and health and well-being colleagues, as well as maintaining contact with the school system. This is something we will need to take on board but our focus is on stepping back up both our primary and secondary care services for the overall younger age group. However, I take on board the point the Deputy has made.
