Summary
Deputy Neville sought an update on recruitment for the clinical lead post in the dual diagnosis programme. The Minister said the post was funded and recruitment was progressing.
Page 65 of the programme for Government refers to mental health. The post of clinical lead in the national clinical programme for those with dual diagnosis has been open since late 2018. Will the Government provide an update on recruitment for this post?
Comment on this
I thank Deputy Neville for raising this important issue. This is a key post which we funded in the budget for the development of our mental health services. The HSE is progressing with recruitment for this post. I will get the Deputy a written note in that regard.
