Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

General Scheme of the Health (Amendment) (Licensing of Professional Home Support Providers) Bill 2024: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. Seán Moynihan:

I will check whether we have any statistics to hand. The reality, even regarding something simple and compared with the position on other conditions, is that there is no NGO for the mental health of older people. It is probably because a generation grew up – I am close to it myself – that did not get the education in school and elsewhere on minding your mental health and did not understand it. In some ways, the language and services never fully developed.
