Coalition ‘100% committed’ to resourcing mental health

Mental Health Minister Helen McEntee insists the Government is “100% committed” to fully resourcing the sector after concerns were raised over decade-old plans not being implemented.

The Fine Gael TD made the comment as the party said it would support opposition calls for increased resources, staff, and the creation of a multi-year budget to properly ringfence available funds.

For the third time since the election, the Dáil sat last night to debate a Fianna Fáil motion on the need to address chronic service gaps nationwide.
