I have two more brief points. Pieta House does amazing work for mental health but, unfortunately, because of the postponement of the Darkness into Light walk it is down funding and needs to cut jobs and front-line counselling services. Pieta House has traditionally provided services where the HSE is weak. To ensure the vital services that Pieta House offers are maintained and the jobs are protected will the Minister intervene and work with it to ensure the vital services it offers are maintained and sustained over the coming months and years?

The publication of a refreshed A Vision for Change is vital to develop a cohesive post-Covid-19 response plan for mental health. Will the Minister commit to the establishment of an implementation group for the refreshed A Vision for Change to develop a post-Covid-19 response plan for mental health?
