739. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Health if he will provide, in tabular form, the percentage of accepted referrals and re-referrals offered first appointments and seen within 12 weeks-three months by general adult community mental health teams in 2014 and for the first four months of 2015. [20716/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe HSE publishes, on a monthly basis, a Performance Assurance Report (PAR) which provides an overall analysis of key performance data from HSE Divisions, including the Mental Health Division. The most recent report available is for February 2015, and this shows that 75% of referrals to Adult Community Mental Teams which were accepted were seen within 12 weeks.
The specific information requested by the Deputy is available from the HSE, therefore this question has been referred to the Executive for direct reply. If you have not received a reply within 15 working days, please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
