The total allocation for mental health services in 2023 is over €1.2 billion, which is another record budget for mental health services. This significant investment will enable implementation of many of the short and medium-term measures in our national mental health policy, Sharing the Vision. It will enhance the provision of mental health supports across a broad continuum from mental health promotion, prevention and early intervention, to acute and specialist mental health service delivery, and enable us to continue to deliver our vital services to as many people as possible, as we move into 2023.

As occurs each year following the Budget, discussions are taking place with the HSE on details relating to specific service initiatives in the context of preparing the HSE Service Plan 2023, including for Mental Health.
