Joint Committee On Health
Impacts of Covid-19 on Mental Health Services: Discussion
Dr. Philip Dodd:
The group in question was commissioned by HSE human resources and it was tasked to Dr. Cathal Morgan to chair it. Despite being the assistant national director for disability operations, Dr. Morgan undertook this role as he has a psychology training background. I do not believe there are potential issues with regard to the transfer of responsibilities for disability between the Departments. It just happened that Dr. Morgan was coming from a disability operations background.
