Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Budget 2023 sees an additional €72.8 million in funding for mental health services in 2023. That will bring our total investment in mental health to more than €1.2 billion. The €14 million to which the Deputy referred is for new developments. There is an additional increase in the overall budget of close to €73 million. It will focus on reducing waiting lists for CAMHS and child psychology services. In particular coming out of Covid, there are significant issues around mental health and the need to do everything we possibly can to help people come through this period.
