This Government has prioritised the reform of our mental health services in line with A Vision for Change and is committed in particular to the delivery of more and better quality care in the community. Additional funding totalling €70 million for some 900 new posts has been provided as part of the 2012 and 2013 Budgets, primarily to strengthen Community Mental Health Teams for both adults and children and to enhance specialist community mental health services for older people with a mental illness, those with an intellectual disability, and mental illness and forensic mental health services in line with A Vision for Change. As the recruitment of posts is a service matter, the question has been referred to the HSE for direct reply.
