Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Mental Health Bill 2024: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Orla Keane:
I would say that 500 might be too much. The big thing here is having people available full-time and with the appropriate skills. Colleagues mentioned earlier that some people within the HSE, such as doctors and nurses, work on a rota basis 24-7 and other clinicians do not. It is about ensuring that we have people who work full-time and are dedicated to this role, that different people are allocated to different regions and that they have the appropriate skills to do the job.
