Thank you. I also want to put that question to the psychiatrists because I have been a little bit surprised by the conversation on this issue. Sharing the Vision states:
Clinical leadership,as described in AVFC 2006–16, was vested in the consultant psychiatrist role, in keeping with the requirements of legislation. Consideration should be given to amending legislation to facilitate the delivery of a shared governance model.
That seems to be what this Bill is moving towards and I would be interested in the view of the College of Psychiatrists of Ireland on that.
