Catherine Connolly (Galway West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I welcome the clarification that there will be an independent monitoring body. I do not agree with the Taoiseach that A Vision for Change ran out. The date ran out - 2006 to 2016 - but the vision contained therein and the implementation, and what they set out on every sector, and the fact that it was a partnership with the community and with families, and to rebalance the power in the mental health sector, was all clearly set out. None of that is stated. The problem is it was not implemented.

I welcome the good news. Cuirim fáilte roimh an gcinneadh go mbeidh eagraíocht neamhspleách ar ais chun monatóireacht a dhéanamh ar chúrsaí meabhairshláinte.
