The Research Evaluation of the Suicide Crisis Assessment Nurse (SCAN) Service was published by the HSE in November, 2012. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the impact of SCAN, from the perspective of service users, primary care practitioners, support service providers and local mental health teams.
As this is a HSE report, I have referred the question to the HSE for direct reply to the Deputy.
