Ms Siobhán McArdle:

As part of Sharing the Vision, the national mental health policy, members will have seen over the last number of years very significant investment, not just in adult teams and CAMHS teams but also in specialist teams like the ADHD teams and the crisis resolution teams that were discussed. There is quite a focus now in the Minister's allocation in budget 2026 to ensure that in those areas where the HSE is seeing that those services have not fully development, those gaps will be filled in a measured and balanced way, notwithstanding the need for a workforce to fill those. Donegal and the north west are as important as any other area in the country and it is really important that we see access to those services for people in that area.
