Verona Murphy (IND), Wexford

The programme for Government states that delivery of mental healthcare will be through the Sharing the Vision roadmap. It appears this roadmap has bypassed Wexford. We have no full child and adolescent mental health service, CAMHS, team in Arden House and we have no paediatric dietician, even though I pointed out on a number of occasions in the House that there is an increase in anorexia patients in County Wexford. One can imagine the disgust of the people of Wexford when the Minister of State, Deputy Mary Butler, announced a crisis resolution team, CRT, for her constituency, which covers 110,000 people. Wexford has 150,000 people. When will the Government deliver for Wexford? So far, this Government has given Wexford a quango that is not yet set up, the maritime area regulatory authority, MARA, to be housed in a building that is not yet built. When will the Government assist the people of Wexford?
