Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care

Community Health Care Organisations: Discussion (Resumed)

1:30 pm

Ms Siobhan McArdle:

I believe it is a development in that there is a national commitment to there being youth workers to broaden out the area lead for young people as part of the mental health engagement brief. In each of our CHOs, we have not yet got the funding for that but we understand it is a 2018 commitment. We would welcome that.
