Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 April 2016
492. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Health the services available for mental health supports to families in hotel room emergency homeless accommodation, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5732/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe modern mental health service, integrated with other areas of the wider health service, extends from promoting positive mental health and suicide prevention through to supporting those experiencing severe and disabling mental illness. It includes specialised secondary care services for children and adolescents, adults, older persons and those with a intellectual disability and a mental illness. In relation to the specific services available for homeless people, as this is a service issue this question has been referred to the HSE 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.
