I presume the question refers to the independent monitoring group for "A Vision for Change" — the Report of the Expert Group on Mental Health Policy.
I established the monitoring group in March 2006. The Chair of the Group is Dr Ruth Barrington, Chief Executive Officer of the Health Research Board. The other members of the Group are Dr. Tony Bates, Executive Director, National Centre for Youth Mental Health, Mr. Pat Brosnan, Director of Mental Health Services, HSE Mid-Western Area, Dr. Susan Finnerty, Acting Inspector of Mental Health Services, Mr. Paul Flynn, Service User, Ms. Dora Hennessy, Principal, Mental Health Division, Department of Health and Children, Dr. Terry Lynch, General Practitioner and Psychotherapist, and Mr. Stephen Jackson, Department of Health, Social Security and Public Safety, Belfast.
The Group's terms of reference are:
To monitor and assess progress on the implementation of all the recommendations in A Vision for Change;
To make recommendations in relation to the manner in which the recommendations are implemented;
To report to the Minister annually on progress made towards implementing the recommendations of the Report and to publish the report.
The Group is to submit its first report before mid-2007. To date, six meetings have been held on the following dates: 25 April 2006, 22 May 2006, 12 September 2006, 27 November 2006, 18 January 2007 and 15 March 2007.
