Public Accounts Committee

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health
Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. Damien McCallion:

And mental health investment. Some of our mental health facilities are not at the level we want them to be. The Deputy has cited an example, but there are many around the country. We identified many of them ourselves and the MHC highlighted some of them to us. There is a capital investment plan for mental health. We are trying to grow that. We have set up a group and brought in resources to look at getting a national plan. There is guidance on what facilities should exist in each area under A Vision for Change in terms of what mental health services each population should have.
