Marcella Corcoran Kennedy: Mr. Saunders states in his submission that little heed is given to the commentary of the commission by the Department of Health or the Health Service Executive.

Marcella Corcoran Kennedy: In terms of the universally accessible prevention measures that Mr. Muldoon mentioned, is there a role for Healthy Ireland in that context? Would Healthy Ireland fit in there in terms of the overarching policy? I do not remember people having mental health issues when I was a child but maybe they did and it was just not recognised.
