Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care

Restructuring of Mental Health Services: HSE

1:30 pm

Mr. Dean Sullivan:

It is probably easier for me to describe it in the context of the position of the director general having changed last week and so on. We will leave names out until we get to the four of us. There is a director general at the top of the organisation. In the context of this discussion, there are three key reports on the director general, excluding matters such as HR and finance. There are three key feeds-in. One is the feed I lead - the strategy and planning team. The second is the operations and delivery team, while the third is the chief clinical officer's team. There is one person at the top, to whom the three teams report, excluding on matters such as HR and finance. Mr. Healy is one of three directors who works with me. Within the operations and delivery team, Ms O'Connor is one of three directors.
