Ms Anna Quigley:

It would annoy me if I did not remember what it was. Mr. Doherty referred to the mental health issue. Back in 1997 – this shows how old we are – a senior person in what was then the Eastern Health Board, now part of the HSE, said one of his biggest challenges as manager of addiction services was to get psychiatrists in the general mental health service to work with psychiatrists in addiction services. Maybe the committee can look into whether that issue has ever been addressed. We continue to hear it has not. It inexplicable that dual diagnosis services have not been rolled out. We know there have been pilots but the crucial need for dual diagnosis has remained an issue for the past 30 years. The difficulty between general psychiatry and addiction psychiatry keeps arising. There must be stigma issues or others playing a part somewhere.
