Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care
Mental Health Services' Funding and Performance Indicators: Discussion
3:05 pm
Dr. Shari McDaid:
Regarding the oversight group, the expert group requested that there be a review of A Vision for Change after seven years. It is important that there be a departmental review. We are supportive of the fact that the review can feed into this discussion and that the Oireachtas committee's role in setting a future vision, and the cross-party support for same, would be equally as important. We hope that they will have complementary roles.
When the Senator asked about online consultation, I imagine she was talking about online therapy or assessment.
