Kevin Humphreys (Dublin South East, Labour)

The Government is committed to the implementation of mental health reform and has ring-fenced €35 million for A Vision for Change. In that context there is a need to appoint a director of mental health services. The HSE governance Bill is on the "A" list of legislation. Can the Tánaiste give a more precise date for its publication and would it be possible to appoint a director on an interim basis, given that it is such an important element of A Vision for Change?
