Dr. Noreen Lineen-Curtis:

My experience of mental health issues, on a patient-to-patient basis, also is that the very ones with mental health issues are very often the least able to get their heads around planning enough to get on a boat, go across to the mainland, drive to an appointment, which may be very emotional or traumatic, and then come back. Those appointments are very often missed when they are on the mainland. Again, telehealth is an ideal platform for them to access that care.
