Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: Restructuring of Mental Health Services: HSE (16 May 2018)

I use the term "plugging gaps", the witnesses use the term "improvement of existing services". I cannot be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: Restructuring of Mental Health Services: HSE (16 May 2018)

Tom Neville: No. I will rephrase it again. It is pretty simple. Some €35 million was given in 2016. That was for the development of new services. We were told that all of it could not be spent and that some of it went into the continuation or improvement of existing services.

A flow chart was required of the end-to-end process relating to recruitment, how that recruitment takes place and how each stakeholder comes into the recruitment process. I am not...
