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

 

I was attracted by what Senator McHugh said. I, too, have seen the use of drama and various other art forms in therapy, and encourage the Minister of State to experiment with and support this. I also urge him to continue assisting those people supporting families and others in the community on a voluntary basis. I urge that more be done to deal with depression in particular and argue in favour of shifting the treatment service increasingly into a community base.
