On page 66 of the programme for Government a commitment was made to improve mental health services in this country. As the Tánaiste knows, in January 2017 an independent report was carried out on mental health services in County Roscommon. As we all know, it was a damning report. That independent committee suggested that 27 points would be implemented without any delay. A management team was put in place and to this day, as far as I am concerned, none of the 27 points has been implemented. I seek an assurance that the Tánaiste will follow up this matter with his colleagues and ensure that without any further delay the mental health services in County Roscommon and other parts of the country will be dealt with, as was promised in the programme for Government.
