Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Review of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Discussion
Professor Jim Lucey:
I will amplify that. I have been a provider and worker in mental health services all my life. These are good people doing good work. I am sure members know how valuable our health employment is. I value those people. It is because I value the necessity that regulation matters. I recognise that people want to have all the boats lifted. Everyone would then benefit. The Oireachtas would know that its investment in healthcare is getting good value, people would know they are working in a service they can be valued in, and the service provision to children would be of value to the whole of society.
