Mary Butler (Waterford, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy very much for her question. Some €110 million of funding in this year's mental health budget, which will increase significantly next year, is paid out to various organisations and NGOs and different groups on the ground that deliver services. The onus is on each group to reach compliance with the regulations and the governance has to be in order. They can engage with the local HSE to try to secure a service level agreement to deliver supports. It is not true to say that there are no 24-7 supports for anybody in Ireland with mental health difficulties.
