Joint Committee On Health

General Scheme of the Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2021: Mental Health Commission

Mr. Gary Kiernan:

Yes. We are proceeding at pace with that piece of work. The expert advisory group has been set up and has been meeting. The literature review to support that piece of work is nearing completion. We have conducted and completed our public online consultation process. We received very strong interest in that, with more than 96 public submissions. We are collating those and expect to publish them in the near future in advance of the general scheme.
