The information requested by the Deputy is published by the Mental Health Commission in their annual activity reports on administration of electro-convulsive therapy in approved centres. The latest figures available can be found on the Commission's website at The Administration Of Electro-Convulsive Therapy in Approved Centres: Activity Report 2021 | Mental Health Commission (mhcirl.ie).

The Mental Health Commission has not yet published its Activity Report for 2022 but this is expected to be published later this year.
