Teresa Costello (Fianna Fail)

I disagree with Professor Sadlier on that point. I do not think any person with any kind of mental health difficulties should be seen over Zoom. Face-to-face consultation should be standard. Using Zoom was grand for the Covid pandemic. The pandemic is long gone, however, and holding consultations over Zoom is unfair. I do not think it is possible to get the same energy and feeling online. People walk away from it. From personal experience, I know feeling like nothing had been achieved.
