Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: Early Intervention and Talk Therapy: Discussion (27 Jun 2018)

Pat Buckley: Many of my questions have been asked. I will make some observations. Most of the witnesses mentioned early intervention. Dr. Barry spoke about emotional issues and issues with smartphones. It is a poignant point that everything one buys in the world comes with instructions, but the Internet did not. It is something that should be flagged. I like Dr. Barry's analysis that there is a real...

Summer Economic Statement 2018: Statements (20 Jun 2018)

Pat Buckley: The sum of €1.4 billion is more than half a billion greater than what will be spent on mental health in the State in 2018, according to the Government, if we can trust that figure, which is questionable. The sum of €1.4 billion could help to do a lot of additional things for mental health this year. It could easily ensure that no mental health beds that are needed are closed,...

The children and service users were very open and honest in it. I compliment everybody involved with it because we need to get the truth out. However, there appears to be a repetitive issue here. On primary care, the committee has called for...
