1898. To ask the Minister for Health the immediate steps being taken to improve the treatment of individuals presenting at accident and emergency departments with suicidal ideation, including measures to ensure they are properly assessed, monitored, and provided with appropriate crisis intervention; and if there are plans to introduce dedicated emergency mental health response units outside of accident and emergency departments to better support individuals in crisis.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
