Lynch fought new mental health staff delays
The HSE service plan for 2014 says the previously-promised 250 to 280 posts will be filled during this year. But a spokesman confirmed to the Irish Examiner that they will not be filled until the final quarter of the year, with the recruitment process starting in the summer.
Mental health organisation Grow criticised this decision, saying waiting until the end of the year shows a “complete lack of understanding for the current demands on services”.
