Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Mental Health Services: Discussion
Frances Black (Independent) | Oireachtas source
I am flying through my questions because I want to get through as many of them as I can. The witnesses said effective leadership would be key to driving the rebuilding of mental health services and that for that reason, they strongly believed that a dedicated lead for mental health needed to be created within the HSE. The HSE appeared before the Joint Sub-Committee on Mental Health yesterday to discuss the closure of the Owenacurra Centre in Cork, which is a wonderful service.
Can one of the representatives from Mental Health Reform elaborate on what it envisages in the context of this lead person? What is its thinking is on that?
