Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care

Mental Health Services' Funding and Performance Indicators: Discussion

2:05 pm

Dr. Shari McDaid:

No. 1 would be expanding investment. A quick win would also be to extend child and adolescent mental health services to seven days per week from five, which would reduce a lot of pressure on families who are going through a very difficult time and need support. If the Deputy gives me another ten minutes, I may come up with a third.
