Joint Committee On Health
General Scheme of the Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2021: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Harry Gijbels:
The area of crisis services has not been mentioned. We have spoken for many years about setting up crisis houses. We have good examples from the United Kingdom in Edinburgh and Leeds, with peer support-led crisis services. Here we have absolutely zilch and nothing at all. We need crisis services as well.
