Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Review of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Discussion

Professor Jim Lucey:

We have engaged and I know my predecessor was fully engaged with the HSE. It is something about the inspector's role, within the independence I am required to have, that I hope to amplify that engagement everywhere we can. The key thing is coming to a point where we agree a unified standard. Will we get to a point where we have this diversity of need being met by an absolute complexity of response that is incoordinate? We have to move on from that. As the inspector for the Mental Health Commission I would be looking for that unified standard to be agreed upon and we would welcome any engagement that would allow that to happen within our mandate of roles.
