Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care

Restructuring of Mental Health Services: HSE

1:30 pm

Mr. Dean Sullivan:

Mr. Healy will give it to the Deputy. If one can imagine three arms coming from the director general, one is strategy and planning, one is operations and the other is clinical. The clinical arms supports both of the others. What the guys and I cannot have is one clinical opinion on mental health services on whether it was on the operations side of the house. We are getting a different opinion with regard to strategy and planning. Therefore, it is one spine down the middle of the organisation.
