Committee on Mental Health
Mental Health Care for Migrants and Ethnic Minorities: Discussion
Mr. Patrick Reilly:
I referenced the national Traveller health action plan that was launched this time last year. The national social inclusion office is supportive of that plan and the implementation. Sometimes we can fall under the national social inclusion office and the HSE. The Department of Health has a responsibility as well. It is about the ownership and it cannot, as we said, be left to a variety of groups. We have a positive relationship with the national social inclusion office and, as I said, we are supportive of the action plan, which is really important.
