Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care
Community Health Care Organisations: Discussion (Resumed)
1:30 pm
Mr. Pat Bennett:
I will address the last two points on the organisations we fund. We carry out assessment at the end of the year on outcomes. We go through a process and that informs the decisions around funding for the following year.
The reference to "general support" staff includes porters, catering and housekeeping. The reference to "patient-inclined" care includes health care assistants and multi-task assistants. Again, I would be happy to give a list to the Senator after the meeting.
