Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Review of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Discussion

Professor Jim Lucey:

I will amplify it as well. Speech and language therapy, by the way, is an interesting part of it. It illustrates how we have gone beyond, in terms of mental healthcare and healthcare in general, thinking of the doctor or a particular professional. It turns out that in certain centres they say they do not have a budget for speech and language therapy but they can buy it privately. Would leadership allow such a situation? That is not on.
