Mr. James Kelly:

At the moment, only inpatient facilities are inspected by the Mental Health Commission. It can inspect anywhere it chooses to but it can only regulate and register inpatient facilities. Under the updated Act, it will be able to inspect, enter and register day hospitals, 24-hour residences that are nurse-led, step-down facilities and, eventually, all services, including the likes of Jigsaw and any counselling services that provide mental health services on behalf of the State. The scope of how far that will go is a discussion we will have with the Mental Health Commission as those powers come into force.
