Covid-19 (Mental Health): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-02-04
============================================================

Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

I addressed that question earlier, although the Deputy might not have been in the Chamber. I will meet representatives of the HSE in the coming weeks. My primary focus when I came into the job was to get the national implementation and monitoring committee in place for Sharing the Vision. Given that we were dealing with the Covid pandemic, I wanted to ensure that services could be retained insofar as was possible. Between 85% and 90% of all services are ongoing and it is important to put that on record. I will meet representatives of the HSE soon. As I said earlier, I am supportive of that role being created in the HSE.
