A Vision for Change review

Summary

Deputy Connolly complained that the promised review of A Vision for Change was overdue and asked when it would be published. The Minister of State said the final report would be ready in the coming weeks and confirmed that timescale when pressed.

In respect of the promised review of A Vision for Change, the period ran out in January 2016. It is more than a year later and given all the debate in the Dáil on the absence of mental health services, where is the promised review, which was urgent?

I will ask the Minister of State with responsibility for mental health and older people to come back to the Deputy with the details of the review. I beg your pardon. I did not realise the Minister of State was here.

We should have a final report on the review in the coming weeks. The review is looking at best practice - what has worked in Ireland and other countries. It will inform us moving forward in terms of the next step. That will be in the coming weeks.
