Report of the Inspector of Mental Hospitals, 2001: Statements.

 

The Minister spoke about the lack of multi-disciplinary teams in the psychiatry service. I spoke in the House last week on the primary care strategy and about the wonderful initiatives that multi-disciplinary teams have in place for the community, especially in relation to general practice. GPs are for the first time becoming part of multi-disciplinary teams and this is something all medics and health professionals are embracing. That could be progressed and the importance of multi-disciplinary teams and psychiatric services recognised.
