Psychiatrist slams lack of progress in mental health services
Dr John Hillery, who resigned from the HSE because of lack of progress in mental health services and what he sees as an unwillingness for rapid change, was giving a keynote address to the Family Carers Ireland conference ‘Life After Care’.
“The fact that we are still discussing these issues as needs rather than as facts is a disgrace. It is one of the reasons I resigned my clinical post earlier this year after nearly 30 years in the mental health and intellectual disability services as a trainee and consultant.”
