Effects of Recession on Mental Health: Statements

 

There will be no increase in funding for mental health services and the disability sector. After meetings with the various organisations and Mr. Geoff Day of the National Office for Suicide Prevention, the challenge will be to see how we can better utilise the suicide prevention fund, to which I hope new thinking can be brought. Yesterday I met Deputy Neville and the Irish Association of Suicidology and have invited them to explain their proposals to achieve better results in two weeks.
