Alan Dillon: Can he outline what progress has been made in this regard?

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Alan Dillon: Sharing the Vision was published in 2017. As far as I know, recruitment is currently ongoing for a national lead. If Mr. Hempenstall has no oversight of that, it is absolutely incredible. This is the Committee of Public Accounts and this question relates to an important appointment in respect of which he is refusing to give me an update.

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Alan Dillon: Perhaps Ms O'Neill can give me an update on the task force committee that was set up by the HSE back in 2018 to drive the recruitment process. How is that recruitment process proceeding?

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Alan Dillon: I am short on time. I might ask-----

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Alan Dillon: Okay.

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Alan Dillon: I thank Mr. Reid but that is not the question I asked. I want to ask Ms O'Connor about recruitment. She previously stated that all vacancies have been filled. Is that correct?

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Alan Dillon: In terms of each of the CHOs.

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Alan Dillon: Could Ms O'Connor give me the figure for the CHO?

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Alan Dillon: Is the two-and-a-half-year waiting list for primary psychology in CHO 2 related to that 62% recruitment?

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Alan Dillon: Can Ms O'Connor outline what other services are available to them if the GP is referring them to CAMHS?

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Alan Dillon: I am sorry, Ms O'Connor. The wait is still more than two years in some instances.

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Alan Dillon: I thank Ms O'Connor. On the point she made regarding additional organisations and services such as Jigsaw and Pieta House, what allocation of HSE expenditure for 2020 was made to these types of organisations?

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Alan Dillon: Has Ms O'Connor a breakdown for each of the organisations?

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Alan Dillon: Ms O'Connor might tell us the age profiles. In Mayo, for example, Mindspace Mayo looks at 15- to 25-year-olds. That has been reduced now to 12- to 25-year-olds. I would like to get an understanding of what the HSE invests in.

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Alan Dillon: Is that in the HSE budgetary accounts for 2020? If Ms O'Connor has the figures, I would appreciate them.

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Alan Dillon: In terms of the oversight of that €46 million, does the HSE audit how that money is spent and allocated in each of the areas throughout the country in order to provide services within each of the CHOs?

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Alan Dillon: Does the HSE do audits?

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Alan Dillon: I will ask a question on the teams that are assembled around presentations to emergency departments. In Mayo University Hospital, for example, in 2020, there were 678 presentations. What teams are available within the emergency departments to cater for presentations of suicide or self-harm incidents?
