The individual care plans are part of the problem when people have dual diagnosis. Mr. Kelly mentioned other conditions that can be classed as dual diagnosis. Where there is an individualised care plan from an addiction centre and another individual care plan from a mental health perspective, there is a lack of a joined-up care plan. This is another gap in service. There should be a way of ensuring the person's needs are treated holistically rather than on an individual basis.
