Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: Engagement with Minister for Health and Minister of State at the Department of Health (11 Jul 2018)

Pat Buckley: I thank the Minister, the Minister of State and all of the people seated in the Gallery for attending. I have had to wait so long to speak that all of the good questions have already been asked.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: Engagement with Minister for Health and Minister of State at the Department of Health (11 Jul 2018)

Pat Buckley: Do the Minister and the Minister of State have full confidence in the management of the HSE? Let us consider the example of Linn Dara, where service users and their families were given five days prior notice of the cessation of day care. Surely that constitutes bad management? It feels like Groundhog Day because 11 beds were closed at Linn Dara last year and day-care services have been...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: Engagement with Minister for Health and Minister of State at the Department of Health (11 Jul 2018)

Pat Buckley: Staff feel threatened if they even engage with us. It is serious. The buck stops with the Minister, the Minister of State and the Department. Surely they have the power to remove the toxicity from the HSE as an entity.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: Engagement with Minister for Health and Minister of State at the Department of Health (11 Jul 2018)

Pat Buckley: There cannot be trust. It is front-line staff more than management who should be beatified. Dr. Harty mentioned pilot schemes. That is an idea. We could target areas where adolescent suicide rates are high, etc. On worldwide recruitment, ten years ago the HSE knew that there was going to be a problem in recruitment, but it could not plan for it. Again, it is bad planning. We...

Topical Issue Debate: Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services Provision (10 Jul 2018)

Pat Buckley: I echo what my party colleague said. It is a bit like "Groundhog Day". I raised the closure of 11 beds last year. Approximately 12 months to the day - there may be a couple of days in it - I am raising the decision to close the outpatient clinic at Linn Dara at a time when the 22 inpatient beds are full. According to the staff members to whom we have been listening, the HSE is not putting...

Topical Issue Debate: Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services Provision (10 Jul 2018)

Pat Buckley: I thank the Minister of State for his answer. He mentioned HSE policy. The HSE is unable to plan. I question the Government's commitment. We do not have enough time to go through these issues. The Minister of State referred to 69 CAMHS teams. How many of them are fully staffed? I would not like to see a CAMHS premier league because there would not be too many teams playing against each...
