Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on Key Issues Relating to the Health Service: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Pat Healy:

Particularly with regard to disability and the issue of integrating primary care mental health and disability, there is a need for what the CEO speaks about with regard to having no wrong door, and a need to start to join this up in a way that probably has not happened to date. At the same time, there is a need to make sure we are targeting appropriately and making the best use of the resources we have, whether it is in primary care, disability or mental health. It is about reform of the programme on one hand and, on the other, maximising resources and adding additional resources for targeted initiatives.
