Mary Butler: SouthDoc has provided assurances that the Blackpool treatment centre has not closed and there is no intention to withdraw services from any SouthDoc treatment centre.

Any person who requires out-of-hours GP care...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: General Practitioner Services (2 Jul 2024)

Mary Butler: I understand the Deputy's frustration. I have heard his concerns and I will convey them to the Minister. I have read out the best information that was made available to me this evening before I came to the Chamber. I wanted to take this matter because I know the Deputy wanted a Minister from the Department of Health to do so. I specifically stayed to do that. SouthDoc has provided...

Any Minister who comes in here in good faith to answer Topical Issue Matters is given a response which is local to the area. We have to work with the information that is given to us. I am now giving the Deputy...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (2 Jul 2024)

Mary Butler: I thank the Deputy for his question. As he will recall, in 2016 the then Government put in place a system to rebuild 90 CNUs the length and breadth of the country. Forty-eight of these have been completed. The one in Clonmel, which the Deputy visited with me recently, will be completed by the end of the year. On the one in Cashel, the estates section is currently considering a site. We...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (2 Jul 2024)

At the start, he mentioned that this matter falls under mental health services, but it actually falls under the remit of my colleague Deputy Anne Rabbitte, the Minister of State responsible for disabilities. Obviously, there are some children with dual diagnoses who need the support of CAMHS and who might have a secondary diagnosis of autism....

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Disability Services (2 Jul 2024)

Mary Butler: There is an opportunity here. The HSE has a list of 438 fantastic projects that need support. They are predominantly from the community and voluntary sector. Those groups are plugging the gaps and where we have pilots, they should become part and parcel of the support mechanism for the CDNTs. They should be embedded in our communities. That would also give us the opportunity to grow and...

Written Answers — Department of Health: Health Services (2 Jul 2024)

Mary Butler: I propose to take Questions Nos. 468 and 469 together. As you will appreciate, eating disorders are very complex, very individual and can be one of the most serious mental health illnesses. Historically, there has been a lack of publicly funded services for people with eating disorders in Ireland. This is now changing, with the Model of Care for the National Clinical Programme for Eating...
