Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care

Community Health Care Organisations: Discussion

10:00 am

Mr. Tony Canavan:

The first commitment we gave in September was to produce an action plan. The action plan essentially outlines the specific actions we will take on each of the 27 recommendations. It is fair to say there have been actions taken on all of them at this stage. One recommendation has been entirely completed at this point because it referred to something specific that had to be done immediately. All of the other recommendations tend to be of an ongoing nature and we will be working on them throughout 2018 and probably throughout 2019 as well. Each step along the way and each action will be clearly defined in the plan that was completed on Tuesday of this week, which will be made available to people who will be able to see and track the progress we are making. We will be making headway very shortly.
