I wish to raise the issue of mental health services, which I have raised many times and which was raised earlier by Deputy Healy in the context of a specific area.

We have been through this conversation. We had A Vision for Change. It was to be reviewed. The Government set up an international review of literature. That took some time and it is over, and now a review is ongoing. When will it be completed? A Vision for Change was an excellent document. The difficulty was in its implementation, in addition to the abolition of the independent monitoring group that monitored its implementation and which sat for two three-year sessions. When will the review be completed? If the Government is seriously interested in providing proper services for people suffering from mental health difficulties, why would it not reinstate the independent implementation body?

Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta Connolly as an gceist sin. As she will be aware, that is one of the more important reviews that is ongoing at the moment. A Vision for Change was one of the most visionary and revolutionary changes in the delivery of mental health services the country has ever seen. We take the review of that policy very seriously and I do not want to rush it. It will be completed before the end of this year on time. I meet the people who review it on a regular basis to get an update on how that is going. I believe I have another meeting with them in the next week or ten days. It certainly will be concluded by the end of this year.
