Mr. David Walsh:

We are currently going through a process related to the next iteration of the HSE's structures. It is important that as part of that the Oireachtas and other stakeholders are assured as to how mental health will be considered and what prominence it will have in that new structure. That is a work in progress. It is a really important component that the chief executive officer, CEO, can come back into this committee and demonstrate how mental health will be considered as part of that new structure. As I understand it, there will be a smaller centre and more devolved functions out across six areas. There will be two areas of importance. One will be at the very centre of the organisation, how mental health is situated and how it influences both the Department and the HSE board and CEO. Then there are the structures within those six regions as to who will own mental health and who will implement these national strategies with the national office.
