Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care

Mental Health Services: Discussion (Resumed)

1:30 pm

Mr. Michael Walsh:

They are qualified nurses and nice people but they do not speak for child psychiatry. At the next level, there is a director of nursing who covers adult mental health and child psychiatry. Above that, there are various lines of management. I would not care to say who is next in the reporting structure. We have a very good service manager who provided us with a QbTest and organised for the unit to be painted, which was needed. Without it, the place would look like a hovel.
