Mick Wallace (Wexford, Independent) | Oireachtas source

As the Minister is aware, I have raised this issue previously but as nothing has changed on the ground, I have to continue raising it. Why is it that in 2015 mental health spending per capitain the Wexford-Waterford region is €148 compared to €223 in Carlow-Kilkenny-south Tipperary, €198 in Mayo and €206 in Galway-Roscommon? Will the Minister explain the regional variation? Given that Wexford has one of the highest suicide rates in the country, I find it difficult to understand why there is such a discrepancy.
