- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Mental Health Services (29 May 2018)

- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Mental Health Services (29 May 2018)
Jim Daly: The Deputy has made a very interesting point. There is no absolute answer to the query he raised as to whether we have enough inpatient beds. Change is always difficult and the change that was envisaged in A Vision for Change was very dramatic, namely, to move away from inpatient care to community care. As the Deputy will be well aware, it is proving to be an ongoing challenge to ensure we...
- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Mental Health Services (29 May 2018)

- Written Answers — Department of Health: Suicide Prevention (29 May 2018)
