Suicide Prevention: Statements

 

In this context, my colleague, the Minister, Deputy Reilly, intends to bring forward detailed proposals at a later date for the reorganisation of the HSE at directorate, regional and local levels in a manner which facilitates a smooth transition from the current governance arrangements to the proposed new structures. This is a significant step forward for mental health and puts it on a par with all other health care services. It is equally important - in fact, I would argue that it is possibly even more important. This is a critical move in the right direction and one I have fought hard for since taking on responsibility for this area on assuming office last year.
