Health (Amendment) (Dual Diagnosis: No Wrong Door) Bill 2021

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

Aims to make sure people who have both a mental health condition and a substance misuse problem are not left to fall between services. It would require the HSE’s annual service plan to include services for people with “dual diagnosis,” encouraging a joined-up care plan between mental health and addiction services. The purpose is to improve access to the right treatment and give people a clearer route to help.

Formal long title
