Ms Yvonne O'Neill:

The task force set up under the youth mental health plan has progressed substantial work as part of the Sharing the Vision plan, with a move towards enhancing services for the age profile of 16- to 25-year-olds. We have recognised that a number of issues around those transitions in age groups. The models of care are being progressed between the structures set out under Sharing the Vision, involving both the Department of Health and the HSE, and we are prioritising investment for that model.
