Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Mental Health Services (Resumed)
Mr. Jim Ryan:
Ireland has done that through our psychosocial response. As Dr. Niazi said earlier, the HSE has specifically arranged for counselling services through SilverCloud Health. I understand that counselling sessions have been taken up by some 3,000 HSE staff. We have used technology in this way to our benefit. This is the main way we would address it.
