Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion
Frances Black (Independent) | Oireachtas source
I totally agree with Mr. Gloster. It comes back to mental well-being as opposed to mental health issues. I am happy to say as Chair of the Joint Sub-Committee on Mental Health, that we have been working on the Sharing the Vision Implementation Plan 2022 to 2024. We brought in representatives from Jigsaw before the committee a couple of weeks ago and we hope to do a report on where we are and where we need to be with regard to sharing division. It is a phenomenal area and what I would hope to bring in next is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD. ADHD is something that is now coming to light. There are more people coming forward with ADHD. Within that area, I am hoping our next session will be on ADHD. Can we expect an expansion of specialist clinical programmes for ADHD? It is huge area particularly with young people now and the diagnoses of it is very important.
