Mental Health Act review
Colm Keaveney asks when the expert review of the Mental Health Act will be published, citing children admitted to adult psychiatric units. The Taoiseach says the work is advanced and promises an update.
Some 91 children were admitted to adult psychiatric units last year. Will the Taoiseach indicate when the report of the expert group charged with reviewing the Mental Health Act 2001 be published? The delay in addressing this matter is resulting in minors being admitted to adult psychiatric units. I ask the Taoiseach to take a special interest in this issue.
