I assure the Deputy there are recommendations and they are being put in place. The HSE mental health division, in conjunction with the Mental Health Commission, should review the completeness of the notification circumstances to ensure that sudden unexplained deaths in persons in receipt of services for more recently developed service problems will be captured, that is, home care and assertive outreach programmes, etc., that the HSE mental health services should ensure that a record of all patients notified of an incident of sudden unexplained death is kept, that the HSE mental health services should ensure that incidents of sudden unexplained deaths of persons in community and mental health services are investigated and that the systems analysis methodology is applied, and the HSE mental health division should ensure that services are fully aware of and compliant with the process involved in documenting the development, monitoring and review of service users' individual care plans, as set out in the Mental Health Commission document on individual care planning in 2012. The full list of recommendations is available and can be forwarded.
