An umbrella group representing mental health charities in Ireland has welcomed the HSE’s decision to introduce full-time supports for those experiencing mental health difficulties.
Under the HSE Mental Health Division Operational Plan 2015, support services for people who have undergone treatment for mental health difficulties in the past will be extended to include Saturdays and Sundays.
The plan also included a commitment to equip emergency departments so they can deal with people experiencing a crisis on a 24/7 basis, a move which has been welcomed byMental Health Reform director Dr Shari McDaid.
