Committee on Public Petitions
Reform of Mental Health Services: Discussion
Emer Higgins (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I thank Mr. O'Sullivan for coming before the committee to discuss this very important topic. Our mental health is as important as our physical health.
I want to see us protecting mental health, increasing funding for mental health supports and making it more affordable for people to access mental health supports. That is the nub of what Mr. O'Sullivan is getting at today. There was record funding for mental health last year and I hope we surpass that in this year's budget.
I think Mr. O'Sullivan answered my question about how the tax relief could be linked to practitioners in terms of linking it to qualifications. Could he delve into that?
