- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)
Anne Rabbitte: That is perfect. I need to ask some more questions on dual diagnosis. Can Mr. Dodd explain dual diagnosis? Let us suppose a patient presents to a general practitioner primarily with addiction problems but there are underlying mental health issues. What does the GP do with such a patient?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)
Anne Rabbitte: I am referring to an addiction presentation with underlying mental health issues.

Anne Rabbitte: Let us suppose a GP wants to make a referral to the hospital in Galway. I am from Galway, so it is primarily a matter of Galway for me. Unfortunately, we do not have an admissions policy at the moment where there is dual diagnosis in University Hospital Galway. The HSE representatives have referred to Dublin and so on. How can that be addressed? What is the policy in this regard?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)
Anne Rabbitte: I said it was an addiction with an underlying mental health issue. The person would already have been to mental health services.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)
Anne Rabbitte: It is not only about admission. I have in mind referral for assessment.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)
Anne Rabbitte: I suppose the reason for my line of questioning is that it is an issue in the west. Initially, some people present with an addiction and an underlying or established mental health problem. In 2014, St. Brigid's Hospital in Galway was closed. Since then, we are operating out of a 45-bed unit in an out-dated excess-capacity hospital in Galway that is not fit for purpose. Is there a...

Anne Rabbitte: How many beds are in it?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)
Anne Rabbitte: We are matching 50 beds with 50 beds. At the moment we have a 45-bed unit. We are gaining five beds. That is still not meeting the needs for the rest of the county or surrounding areas. Are there further steps to address a mental health capital infrastructure plan in the west?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive (30 Nov 2017)
Anne Rabbitte: I second what Senator Feighan said. I live on the other side of the constituency wall in Portumna. I was in contact with some psychiatric nurses who felt very aggrieved by what happened with management staff on the Roscommon side.

Anne Rabbitte: Certain dynamics might have changed from this morning's meeting. It will be a question of assessing the responses we get back in order to determine our baseline.
