45. Deputy Jack Chambers asked the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence the number of Defence Forces members referred to the HSE for psychiatric services and placed on a waiting list to see a psychiatrist since 26 July 2018; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25903/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe number of Defence Forces personnel availing of psychiatric services through the HSE since July 2018, is not readily available. Personnel in need of psychiatric assessment are referred through their primary carer. To ascertain if a referral had been made for psychiatric assessment would involve each individual primary carer conducting a review of all their patients' records.
