Mr. Peter Hughes:

I can answer part of that question for Deputy Martin. I do not have the information to hand that is necessary to answer the questions posed by Deputy Neville. All other disciplines working in multidisciplinary teams have clinical supervision and protected time to share for one hour once a month, but psychiatric nurses do not. Even though reports recommend clinical supervision and protected time be provided to psychiatric nurses, it does not happen. Psychiatric nurses do not have protected time once a month to talk to a peer supervisor or clinical supervisor about some of the stresses of the work such as difficult clients, cases or circumstances. That does not happen.
