Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care

Restructuring of Mental Health Services: HSE

1:30 pm

Mr. Dean Sullivan:

In the past it was sometimes difficult for any silo in having responsibility for both planning and delivery to understand the needs of patients as thoroughly as we are able to do now. Crucially, in the past it was more difficult to plan how best to respond to needs in the delivery of integrated services across all spectrums within primary and community care services.
