Effects of Recession on Mental Health: Statements
I recognise the need to develop mental health services, which are well integrated in society. They put the individual at the centre and operate in a way which avoids prejudice and exclusion. I am pleased to say that the task is now in hand and I wish to thank my departmental officials for their work in that regard. Many others were also involved who came out to be a part of the presentation on the night. There are too many to mention individually, but I acknowledge their efforts. When we visit a location to promote the See Change partnership, it is pleasing to see the number of professionals and service users who offer their services voluntarily at such public meetings. I am sure Senators share my view in that respect.
