Mental health review and implementation

Summary

Colm Keaveney asks when the A Vision for Change expert review and Mental Health Act review will be published. The Taoiseach says the latter is complete but awaiting presentation, after which the expert group will be established.

When I asked the Taoiseach last May about the status of the expert group review that was provided for under A Vision for Change, he said it would be presented to the House in four weeks. When I asked the same question in September, he indicated it would come before the House within two weeks. When can we expect the publication of that report, which is to provide the roadmap for implementation of the policy set out under A Vision for Change?

Second, when can we expect the review of the Mental Health Act to commence?

We are awaiting the report on the review of the Mental Health Act. The review is complete, but the report has not been presented. We expect that to happen very soon. The expert group will be set up following our receipt of that report.
