Budget 2018 provided significant additional funding for mental health, which means that HSE funding for this key care programme will increase from around €853 million in 2017 to €912 million next year. New service initiatives on Child and Adolescent Mental Health services are being progressed in the context of finalising both the overall HSE Service Plan 2018, and the more detailed regional Operational Plan for Mental Health. These will be published by the HSE in the near future.
