Mental health committee
Tom Neville asks whether the Joint Committee on the Future of Mental Health Care should be extended or replaced permanently. The question is left to be answered after the chair calls the next speaker.
There are only two Members still offering, namely, Deputies Neville and Murphy O'Mahony.
Comment on this
Under the programme for Government and in the context of the enhancement of mental health services, will the Taoiseach indicate if any consideration has been given to extending the term of the Joint Committee on the Future of Mental Health Care or to putting in place a permanent replacement? The joint committee sat for a number of months and generated a very comprehensive report and recommendations that should be put into practice.
