Question:101 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason for the delay in the appointment of the Mental Health Commission under the Mental Health Act, 2001. [27398/01]
Written Answers. - Mental Health Commission.
The first priority under the Mental Health Act, 2001, is the establishment of the Mental Health Commission. I will write to the various representative organisations shortly seeking their nominations for membership of the commission. I expect to be in a position to formally appoint the members of the commission within the next few months.
