I assure the Deputy I certainly will bring back his message.

I am taken aback at how important it is with mental health services right across all our communities for people to be in a happy environment where there is continuity and where, to be honest, they can feel at home. I have had experience of it in my own family with the mental health service locally. For anybody who is suffering with or who has relatives who have a mental health issue, it is important that such continuity is maintained, not only by the service providers or among staff, but in the family as well. I appreciate the message Deputy Eugene Murphy has given me and the concerns he has raised.

As I stated earlier, I will do my best, as always, to relay the messages back from the Deputies who raised the issues when the main Minister is not here and I would want that they would reply to the Deputies at the required level as well. I will continue to do that until I lose my job.
