Committee on Mental Health

Mental Health Care for Migrants and Ethnic Minorities: Discussion

Ms Sue Windle:

It should not be. However, the process does and can work. We are lucky in Limerick to have a really good network that I link in with and have access to. There is a kind of a system in place but everyone is restricted by their own structures. As much those in housing might want to help – they do help and we work really well together – there are structural restrictions on everybody. The system can work but my point is that it is very difficult to generate the energy needed and to do the work it takes to achieve this. It should not be so hard.
