- Seanad: Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (16 May 2018)
Jim Daly: I thank the Senator for the proposed amendment. It has been proposed as a direct result of the important judgment of the Court of Appeal given on 4 May 2018. As Senator Warfield said, this judgment declared that renewal orders by mental health tribunals under section 15(3) of the Mental Health Act 2001, which include both six-month and 12-month orders, breaches Article 40.4.1° of the...
- Seanad: Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (16 May 2018)
Jim Daly: I am thankful for the opportunity to speak again. I do not believe it does any justice to a Bill on mental health to have a division on an issue as important as this. I appeal to the House in this regard. There has been a ruling by the court and a period of six months has not been given for a reason. It stands suspended. This is not the only opportunity we will have. The Oireachtas...
- Seanad: Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (16 May 2018)
Jim Daly: I respect the wishes of the House if it wants to put this to a vote. I do not want to repeat the points I have already made. As outlined, advice is required on whether orders should refer to a period of three months and not to mention the six months proposed in the amendment. As I have said, the court judgment raised a number of issues we need to tease out. This matter is complex. It has...

- Order of Business (22 May 2018)
Jim Daly: I am aware of the issue. My colleague seated to my right, the Minister of State, Deputy McHugh, has discussed that matter on a number of occasions. As Deputy Doherty will be aware, a bed capacity review has just been completed. We are identifying and working with the HSE to open up beds in as many places as possible and, in particular, we are identifying those that are ready to go.
- Order of Business (22 May 2018)
Jim Daly: I ask the Deputy to let me finish. We have to do this in a holistic way. We cannot go around just picking bits and pieces. We have already opened 200 additional full-time beds this winter which are separate from transitional step-down care beds. We will continue that programme and we hope to do so in the coming year. By April of this year the HSE had submitted a series of suggested...
- Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services Provision (22 May 2018)
Jim Daly: I thank the Deputy for raising this important issue. The provision of appropriate and safe facilities for patients within the mental health service is a priority for me and for the Government. To ensure that services are provided in a safe environment the Mental Health Act 2001 provides the Mental Health Commission with the power to inspect, regulate and enforce standards in all approved...
- Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services Provision (22 May 2018)
Jim Daly: I will progress the matter if the Deputy sends me the detail of the issue. The public representative has a key role to play in the delivery of mental health service. As a Minister of State, I very much value the opinion, contribution, input and engagement of my Oireachtas colleagues who represent all the stakeholders in the delivery of mental health care. By and large there are not many...
