Joint Committee On Health
General Scheme of the Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2021 (Resumed): Office of the Ombudsman for Children
Dr. Niall Muldoon:
I will speak in general. All the work being done regarding inpatient services has to be done in parallel with the strengthening of overall suicide prevention, mental health and well-being of our children. The UN committee was trying to address school bullying, racism, sexism and all those issues that come up for children and young people. It is trying to make sure that suicide is less of an option for as many children as possible.
